What the Dog Dragged In

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 13:37:58 PDT

It was something the dog dragged in, a black amorphous blob on the sofa between his white fluffy paws. Ugh, I thought, and picked it up to throw it away. Insert blood curdling scream. It wasn't yard...

Blind Dog With a Brave Heart

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 16:01:53 PDT

We have a little 9-year-old, blind terrier mix with the heart of a lion. That is a picture of her standing on the arm of the sofa. She still walks around the edge. She also prefers jumping off the...

Sorry about the weird RSS feeds the last couple of days. I changed the URL from warrenfamilylife.blogspot.com to godnuggetsblog.com, and made a mistake setting the feed up. I hope I have it right...

Love and Honesty

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 13:42:50 PDT

Love and honesty. Love and truth. This pair just can't be separated. Like birds that mate for life, one dies when the other is gone. Love without honesty becomes spineless sentimentalism. You get a...

Don't Exclude Yourself

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 15:24:18 PST

The world is full of God's creatures, each having infinite value because it is created by an infinite God. Every creature, therefore, deserves love and care and respect. Furthermore, we are called to...

Start the New Year With a Fresh Heart

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 14:17:19 PST

Before you launch out into the coming year, I’d like you to look back over the past year and check your heart for any unforgiveness that may be hiding there. Unforgiveness is like taking poison and...

Burnout

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 15:31:07 PDT

God may call us to a fast, but He never calls us to a famine. A fast is denying your needs for a limited time; a famine is denying your needs for too long. Although He often calls people to fast, I...

Relentless as the Forest

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 02 May 2010 14:20:05 PDT

You may have heard me say that one of my favorite things in life is to lie in the hammock under the oak tree in our back yard—with my dogs, of course. This pic is part of my view, looking up. I...

Simplicity in Prayer

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:54:20 PDT

Mother Teresa said, "We complicate prayer as we complicate many things." So we simply come to Him in solitude and silence while He nurtures us. Our hearts are filled and we can then go out and...

Nurtured by God

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 14:12:12 PST

We often think of our service to God as being the first priority. However, God is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything (Acts 17:25). Instead He glorifies Himself by serving us. Read...

Disapproval

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 13:48:45 PST

I used to be a real people pleaser. At almost 50, I'm largely over that, but a residue remains. When it rears its ugly head, I have a weapon now that gives me great comfort. It's Romans 8:33-34. ...

Is My Pet in Heaven?

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 22 May 2011 13:56:25 PDT

My cat, Beetle, had lived eight years and had fought for his life for eight days. He was not going to win. A tumor blocking his liver function was claiming the victory. The vet was gentle and assured...

Lowly worms

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 13:23:18 PST

Do you ever feel a vague sense of guilt or shame? A sense that you’re sinning, but you don’t know exactly how? A general feeling of being worthless and unacceptable before God, a lowly worm? If...

Scorning the Shame

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:07:57 PST

Jesus absorbed evil on the cross. Look at Isaiah 53: Jesus was despised and rejected (Isa 53:3) He took up our infirmities (Isa 53:4) He carried our sorrows (Isa 53:4) Jesus was pierced for our...

Godly selfishness

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 18:40:08 PST

Ultimately, everything we do is selfish. Even heroic "unselfish" acts can be for a secondary gain such as pleasing God, gaining glory, or validating self. Therefore, when we obey God we are still...

Squirrelized

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:01:38 PST

We have a squirrel infestation. I used to like squirrels. Now they are living in our chimney and our attic. They are chewing electrical wires and tormenting the dogs. The companies that eradicate...

Childlikeness

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:12:43 PST

One of the things I strive for in life is to be childlike. Childlikeness is different than childishness, a term which conveys the negative aspects of being a child, such as self-centeredness and...

Puzzle pieces

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:16:14 PST

At times, life is like a box of puzzle pieces. But only God can see the lid and know the final outcome of all the things that come together to form our destinies. I believe with all my heart, that...

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:38:26 PDT

I have a friend who once had a dream that I have never forgotten. He had died and was standing before God in heaven. The scene was an arena full of people. Each of them was someone he had known on...

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 08:21:50 PDT

I was reading Spurgeon this morning and it shed some light on Mary's extravagant act of anointing Jesus (Mark 14:1-9). It has always confused me a little, especially because Mary let her hair down,...

What do I ultimately want?

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:01:31 PDT

The fact that Jesus lives in our hearts can give us direction in finding His will. The Law (including our "shoulds") is on the outside like a weight. It's an obligatory feeling that I should do X. ...

Kicking the fear habit

LambosPals@sbcglobal.net (Cyndi Warren) — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:38:16 PDT

How can this little rat be so happy sitting on that bomb? Perhaps he's become willing for the worst to happen?! That's my technique for overcoming fear. It sounds unpleasant, but I promise if you...
