Watch Your Life Bloom

Welcome to the Official Blog of Author Dr. Lily L. Ratliff Jenkins, of the inspirational Memoir, The Life of a Lily: Growing in His Strength, Blooming in His Love, and many other writings.

Thanks for coming by to sit awhile and reflecting along with me on everything biblical. On this blog, feel free to share your thoughts and feelings about the various topics I present. They all do come from the heart and are meant for us to ponder, be enlightened, laugh, cry, and ultimately give God all of the praise.

You will hopefully find resources on everything from writing tips to creating your own memoir, how to journal, becoming better Christians and how to walk in your callings, destinies, and witty inventions that we have deep inside of us but sometimes don't quite know how to tap into and walk in. But GOD! It is in his wisdom along with an open mind that we will get through this together. Amen! So I welcome you my brothers and sisters!

Father's Day Wishes..

As I look back over my life, I realize that even though I had a man who planted a seed, resulting in my birth, what I wished more than anything was that He owned up to the term ‘Father’. Fortunately, I was afforded that man who God placed the title of “Father” to who was actually my grandfather. He took on this highly regarded role, and treated me as his own. He was the man I looked up to, loved, and in turn, I was his little girl, the one he made sure to protect. For that, I say, “Happy Father’s Day Dad!”

But, on the flip side, there are many children and even adults in the world who never knew they had a father, which the Bible deems as the term of an ‘orphan’. Or he or she may have one, but found that he left them at a time when they needed him the most. I just come by to be a messenger today, to tell you to look to the hills from whence cometh your help, YOUR help cometh from the Lord.

I think on a day like today, that’s set aside for giving thanks to all of the fathers out there, young and old, that let’s not forget our Almighty Father which is in Heaven. He deserves all of our praise, and will be a father to all of those who seek guidance and strength, during a time that may be hard for many of you. (See Romans 8:15). Keep your head up, and your stride wide, and know that Abba Father is with you. Keep the faith! Happy Father’s Day Lord God Almighty!

In His Love,
