ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
I love this: ‘Imagine not going anywhere that Jesus is not there first inviting me to come.’ Thank you for the challenge today!
Thank you, Debbie, for the time to give me encouragement by your comment. Are you a Debbie Rodgers whom I know? My maiden name was Rodgers. I can’t find a blog for you. Have a good day and be blessed. 😀
Walk on water?
That would take keeping my eyes on Jesus for sure. But is I did that and he bid me come, I might just try it. Some fools walk on burning coals and they certainly last the eyes on Jesus and his invitation to come. But since I can’t swim, I doubt He would put me to that test. I love the “Jesus put out his hand and caught him” part of that story. Thrilling! Just try obedience to Jesus and watch how he rescues you/me. Good day, Pranab.
Oh you of lesser faith😊. How you excuse yourself from the test.
When you accept that surrender to God and asking Him to FILL YOU WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT. Not an exercise of human spirit but the reality of why Christ died and rose again. Now the God the Holy Spirit can LIVE in you and walking with HIM. means that He will constantly lead and guide. His Voice will correct! Direct! and ever, ever point to Jesus Christ and His atoning death on the Cross.
Relationship with God as ‘abba Father’ is certainly not a ‘religion’. Praise God and Praise God!
A real love for the Lord will make one want to act in a way that brings glory to God. “That they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.”
I love the challenge to evaluate ourselves and test it to see if it is honoring God. Sometimes our busyness blinds us and we are not intentional about what we are doing, seeing, thinking. Thank you!
Kind and encouraging words. Thank you. You are right that we need to intentionally do something by which to honor God. So often even communicating with Him is taken for granted. Get out of our comfort zones with God makes for an exciting life. Now that I have “my wings clipped” by age and health, I find it less exciting to walk new adventures with him. Blogging helps, and I believe it is His will for me. I do have new experiences in this way. Thank you for the comment. I love bloggers who like to communicate! 😀
