This is a special time of the year for many and I think more people would be interested in what happened so many years ago. Here are a few words about a moment in time that came to not. 

The day when we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is past and the day when we celebrate Easter, when Jesus Christ gave His life for us, is near, but the season that we are in now is called Purim. Purim is the celebration of what happened in the book of Esther.

The annihilation of God’s people was immanent if something did not change and change quickly. If God had not moved Mordecai to contact Esther, the Jewish woman who HE placed as Queen, as well as giving her wisdom, Haman, the henchman, would have succeeded.

There are so many moments in the Bible of pure mysteries and miracles. If you have not read the book of Esther, you are missing a good read that can give you encouragement enough for such a time as this.

There is a verse in Psalm that reads,

One generation shall praise Your works to another,

And shall declare Your mighty acts.

Psalm 145:4

 

Only God could have placed Esther as Queen in the very moment of history when she was needed most. God can use you, too, if you are willing.

God bless and have a blessed week.

Love,

Laveda D. Rockford

The Path | Laveda D. Rockford

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
