Today’s meditation: THE GARDEN OF THE LORD. How can we become the Lord’s favorite place to go to? How do we become His garden of olives? Each of us can be a dwelling place for Him, just as He is for us. A place He seeks solace and rest in. A place of prayer and worship of the Father. True friends are there for each other. Ask the Lord how you can be His dwelling place? Tonight meditation: And Abraham believed! To be His friend; like His son Abraham; you must believe what He says! Trust is the cornerstone of friendship. Belief in the one who speaks to you. Lord Jesus, we believe, help our unbelief! Count us among your friends and righteous ones. Give us the faith of our Father in Faith Abraham; that we may also carry his promise of blessing for our future generations to be as numerous as the dust of the earth and the stars of the sky! In Jesus name! Amen 🙏

Todays meditation: all the nations of the earth. Let’s meditate upon all of these nations and people who are related to each other by blood. As we are all descended from the three sons of Noah. Therefore, we are all one people under God. That is why you should help your neighbor and pray for your enemy. We are all actually related and part of Gods family who He saved from the flood by Noah and his 3 sons and their wives. Everyone is related to you.🙏 Tonight’s meditation: THE LORD APPEARED TO HIM. When Abraham went into the land of Canaan as the Lord directed him, the Lord appeared to him there. And Abraham stopped and gave thanks and sacrifice to the Lord for His guidance, His appearance and His walking with him and directing him to this new land. We can see that Abraham walked with God, they were friends and Abraham appreciated the friendship of the Lord, but also gave Him thanks and praise as is due the Lord. Sometimes we become so familiar with someone or something in our lives that we just take them for granted. Maybe our kids or our spouse, or maybe a friend. But recall the Lords words, whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers is that which you do to Him. Make reconciliation and peace with those whom you have harmed or just neglected out of presumption that they will always be there. God deserves more and so do His living images; His children. Good night, God bless and thanks for being a part of the one small flame 🔥family I appreciate all of you! Maria 🙏
Blessed Sunday all! Today’s meditation and reflection is from Genesis chapter 5: WALK WITH GOD. May God continue to bless you and strengthen your walk with Him today and every day this New Year in Jesus name! Tonight during church We celebrated the Epiphany of the three Kings coming to adore Jesus as the infant King with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Here Jesus is the King of Kings adored in a humble stable. With St. Joseph, the carpenter, His foster father and the Blessed Virgin Mary, His mother at His side, as well as the shepherds and animals He created. During the mass I recognized the scent of fresh cut wood over a period of time. It smelled like a carpenters shop and I love that smell; and it reminded me of St. Joseph, the carpenter and protector of the Holy family. And then I thought of Jesus; who was called by the people He knew, “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?” In reply to His being proclaimed the Messiah and being able to perform miracles in His own town. So I was reminded of that too. This Son of the carpenter, is also the Son of the Creator; who made the entire earth and world; and can certainly handle our little problem’s. What does it mean to walk with God? In some ways; I believe it is to be sensitive to Him as He is always sending us signs of His love and His promises to us; which are yes and Amen! These anchors of hope can hold our ships straight in the storms of life and keep us on course; never wavering from our eternal port in heaven. I did look up the meaning of spiritual scents and found that the scent of fresh wood means royalty; so very fitting for the King of Kings that we celebrated today with the three Kings! 🙏
Noah alone was righteous on the earth. Todays meditation: you alone are righteous. Let’s meditate on the righteousness of God who alone is righteous. Noah was a forerunner of Christ in that He represented His righteousness. And Noah’s act of faith and building the ark to save humanity and all the living creatures from extinction is what Jesus did too when He built Mary to be the ark of the new covenant to save His people from their sins. She is the vessel and the safe ship He chose to dwell in for 40 weeks prior to His birth. Just as Noah and his descendants remained in the ark for 10 months prior to landing on the mountain of Ararat. Because of her fiat, her yes to God; He was born and redeemed humanity from its sins. How can we become righteous like Noah? How can we become favored like Mary? In the gospels Jesus tells us we can do nothing apart from Him. Let us continue to walk in faith and hope this year seeking Gods will and unity with Him. For apart from Him, we can do nothing. 🙏 The rainbow is a sign of God’s covenant with man to never destroy the earth and its inhabitants by flood again. A covenant is legally binding and more than a promise. God’s word is infallible. When He makes a promise, He keeps it and you can depend on Him. He is righteous in every way. Tonight’s meditation: a sign of my covenant. God bless. 🙏

The job of Gods people and the Woman is to crush his head. 🙏 How did God’s Holy Spirit hover over you today? Did you feel His presence upon you? Did your heart burn within you as you meditated upon His word?
