The Exciting Lives of Cupcake and Reggie... three books in a series by Karen R Lacy and illustrated by Nayeli Cardona CarlinKarenRLacy.comKaren gives a brief background of her story. She was already publishing children's books before the special moment when her family increased with Lhasapoo's Reggie and Cupcake. These pups were so cute, she decided to write about them. Then their brother, Reno came along six months later. To complete this pack of adorable puppies, within three months, they had added little Yorkipoo's Rocki and Rambo. In Book One, her stories began with The Exciting Lives of Cupcake and Reggie on the scene. Karen shares about the Lhasapoo breed and amazing experiences during the pup's first Christmas, grooming, puppy training, and so much more. In the end, the pups realize their family may expand. But they're not sure whether Mommie and Daddy will be getting more pups or farm animals.

Again, information is shared about the Lhasapoo breed for Reno, and the Yorkipoo breed for Rocki and Rambo.

Book Three, The Exciting Lives of Cupcake and Reggie and Siblings with More Experiences, shares more adventures with Cupcake, Reggie, Reno, Rocki, and Rambo as they grow older. The next time they experienced fireworks, the Lhasapoos enjoyed the sounds and colors lighting up the sky with Mommie while the Yorkipoos slept with Daddy. They loved Auntie Denise's visit, which also gave them an opportunity for more mischief. They all bonded closer with human and doggie friends. #karenrlacy, #karenrlacychildrensbooks, #chapterbooks, #picturebooks, #travelbook, #dogstory, #amazonbooks, #animalinteraction, #educationalbooks, #adventurous, #puppylovers, #familytime, #community, #siblingrelationships, #imaginativeplay

How important is it “To Be Kind”? And yet, how exceedingly difficult it may be as we encounter others who are not kind. It's important to know the Lord's character is good, kind, and loving. His lovingkindness never fails. So then, to emulate and demonstrate our love to Him would include to deliberately be kind to others. Sometimes that requires forgiveness.

Every person was created for a specific reason. Do you know what “Your Purpose” is? Some of us flounder for years, unaware of what our call in life may be.

We may have low self-esteem and look at others with envy, or we may look down on others pridefully. Either way, “Comparisons” come from a negative perspective. If people look on themselves negatively, they're not demonstrating gratitude to the Lord and may become people-pleasers. But if people see themselves better than others, they're prideful and not loving their neighbors. We can overcome comparisons!

In this episode we explore how God demonstrates His power while He brings us through those dark periods of our lives.Though we're tempted to see ourselves as alone or forgotten by the Lord, His power may be most obvious when we lean on Him for strength, rescue, and deliverance.

In some instances, or with certain emotions or addictions, a person may feel helpless that they have “No Self Control.” But we can overcome!Do we have excuses for our actions, attitudes, or behaviors? Each person has free will, and in that they may make right choices or terrible mistakes. For every believer, follower of Jesus is given the fruit of the Spirit which is filled with love and held together with self control. But if that self-control is not used, stretched, or maintained, it may remain weak for when a challenge comes along.

When we are asking a big favor of someone, we may say, “If you do this for me, I'll be Eternally Grateful.” But that promise is an exaggeration, isn't it? What can a person do to cause thankfulness forever? We can be grateful to the Lord for various rescues and healings, but the ultimate gratitude is in salvation through Christ because that relationship is for eternity.

Have you ever felt you were under someone's thumb, in their control? “Oppression” is meant to bring you down, but there is help available.

We've each experienced watching the attitude of self-righteousness in ourselves or others. But what truly can make anyone “Righteous”?Within the pages of the Word of God, we find that righteousness belongs to the Lord. We can receive this gift of righteousness through Jesus Christ when we believe. We have free will to choose Him today, next week, next year – but do we know what the future holds? We also touch on the breastplate of righteousness as part of the full armor of God and find reference materials for further study.

Have you been struggling with hurt, bitterness, and thoughts of revenge because someone has offended you? Do you rehearse in your mind the attacks of toxic people? “Forgiveness” is good for your soul. We can enjoy peace when we give God our troubles, walk away from the strife, and forgive. It is each person's choice, whether to be stuck in the past of poisonous memories or to find victory and blessings as we forgive and let it go.

We often hear the phrase, “Come to Jesus” in reference to a moment of facing the truth about something. But it's an invitation! Scriptures tell us about Jesus, the Son of God, who suffered and died on the cross to pay for our sins. And He arose! He ascended to Heaven. The Lord stands at the door of each heart, knocking. It is our decision whether to welcome Him in. What does it take to come to Jesus? Repent. Believe. Accept Him as Lord and Savior. And be heaven-bound!

Do you know someone who needs “Anger Management”? Are they quick to anger, spewing out ugly words, or acting out? Does that describe you sometimes? Are there any valid excuses for our reactions and behaviors toward others? It all boils down to choices we make. Where does our help come from? With the Lord's help, we can be slow to anger. Casey shares scriptural support and a brief testimony.

We can strive to be the best person, but no matter how good one may be, it is out of grasp because no one is perfect. But God wants us all to be with Him in heaven, so He provides “Grace through Faith.” How is God's grace provided? He sacrificed His only Son, Jesus Christ to suffer and die on the cross, to pay for our sins. And Jesus arose! He is now in Heaven. We are provided the way to join Him. What is required to become a believer? Repent. Believe. Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. And be heaven-bound!

So much of our lives involve facing an unknown future. “Are you Afraid?”When fear comes knocking at our door, we can allow ourselves to be overwhelmed, or we can decide to focus on the Lord. We can find strength in Him as we stir up our faith. This episode brings encouragement with ways we can rally our faith during dark and scary times that invite us to be afraid. For instance, we can remember past times we were rescued by the Lord.

Our faith is tested when we encounter any troubles. Do we “Lean on Him” or do we rely on ourselves or others for help? Do we let anxiety and fear overcome us? We can pray to the Lord, depend on Him as our strength through our circumstances. We can study His promises and character in the Word of God to gain focus. Are there ways you can demonstrate your faith, trust - reliance upon the Lord?

Your “Weakness” may be different than mine. Maybe you have tried on your own to overcome that weakness. What is the opposite? Strength, and that is the remedy, strength from the Lord. Casey candidly shares her struggle with weaknesses and how she found strength. Also, we explore a couple of examples from the scriptures, (King) David and the Apostle Paul. Through their weakness, the Lord was strong. We too can find strength through Jesus Christ as we turn to God in praise, prayer, obedience, and reliance on His Word.

In “Sanctification, it's a process,” we consider the navigation of a new believer while in this world of deception, distraction, and temptations. Casey shares testimony of her transition from baby Christian to maturity. It's indeed a process! Sometimes, like her experience, a believer's path may include detours and potholes - abounding with temptations to go the wrong direction or to give up.

Often, “Feeling Alone” is due to the absence of friendships or the loss of them. Having a sense of belonging is a human's basic need. While there's enticement to feel alone hitting us from many directions, Jesus invites us to a lasting relationship with Him. Once we belong to Him, we can have confidence He will stand by us. The Apostle Paul, for example (2 Timothy 4:16-18), found that some friends may abandon us, but those who love the Lord can trust that He will never leave.

“Share Your New Beginning” may refer to various context. We get a fresh start with each day, new year resolutions, a new job, healing, or addiction recovery. The ultimate new beginning is when a person turns to God in repentance and accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior. A believer's life is never the same, they become a new creature, equipped for their purpose. In this episode Casey shares about when she first came to Jesus, her salvation message. One of the things the devil used was to question why God let her baby brother suffer. Her baby brother was in a horrific, mysterious incident while Casey was a teen, and he was left severely handicapped. Thirty years later, living as a baby, he succumbed to pneumonia. We don't always understand why bad things happen to good people or to the innocent. But Casey is sure her baby brother will spend eternity with Jesus.

Are you experiencing “Family Problems” or see it happening among your friends? What can anyone do about it? As told in Luke 12, division is often between believers and unbelievers, members with differing outlooks and lifestyle. Resolution may require authenticity, fervent prayer, studying His Word, and to patiently lean on the Lord. The Bible offers so much! It defines love (1 Cor 13), promotes an awareness of Spiritual Warfare (Eph 6). As healthy boundaries are set, a person my need to safely leave a habitually toxic environment.

Circumstances in the world may be convincing you that you're not enough, unloved. But this episode encourages that the “Love of God” is stronger, deeper, wider than anything else. Casey shares brief testimony of her moments of doubt and how the Lord helped her renew her faith. Scriptures are shared to reinforce that the King of the Universe indeed pledges His amazing love for each of us.

“Financially Fit” touches on important points to consider as we manage money – Spend some, Save some, and Give some is what we hear. To have a budget or plan for spending and saving is encouraged, with questions to ponder, such as: Can I afford it? Is this impulse buying, or a need? What about loans and co-signing? Should I invest?When we focus on the Ultimate Giver, the Lord, it guards us against the love of money/ material wealth and greed. We are blessed as we bless others.

When you lack safety or security in some way, doesn't that situation present an urgent need for protection? In this episode, “Protect Me” we find encouragement.

Many people have experienced periods of “Health Issues” or are now facing such troubles. In this episode I share a portion of my own journey and what I have learned. While a person is weak with pain, they may be distracted to dangers they otherwise would beware of. While in the midst of excruciating nerve pain, I turned to comfort foods, therefore entering a terrible spiral of increased health issues and pain. Have you been there, too? Here, I share how the Lord turned it around.

Where does your “Peace Within” come from and how long will it last? The world may tell you that you bring yourself your own peace, but that peace is temporary at best. Scriptures tell us Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and once a believer receives His peace, it stays with you forever.

With so much happening in today's world, many people may suffer from depression. Here, we find a valid option to become “Depressed No More.” Through my own crisis with chronic depression I learned to always, whatever the circumstances or challenges faced, to turn to God about it. Only the Creator of the Universe with an abundant love could bring comfort. Whether there's quick resolution or He strengthens one through it, He is well able, and with a good plan.

In today's episode, “Faithful Servants,” we study the parable of the ten talents or gold coins, found in Matthew 25:14-30. This parable exemplifies that we're to utilize the unique talents, abilities, and gifts the Lord has given each of us. I urge you not to allow the world's distractions, struggles, or pleasures to deter you from your purpose. Do your good work so that when the Lord comes, He'll say, “Well done, My good and faithful servant.” Your feedback is welcome!Video: https://youtu.be/EbSR0sh4sasAudio: https://buzzsprout.com/1275572 Please subscribe to my YouTube channel at Carin Jayne Casey on YouTube #swordofthespirit #Turn2GodwCarin#parables #faithfulservants #dogoodwork #fulfillyourpurpose #areyouready #goodvsevil #befruitful #jesusiscoming #turntojesus #wwjd #repentandbelieve #hopefaithlove
Day by day, hour by hour we're bombarded with instances demanding “Decisions Decisions” to be made. Especially crucial is when we must choose between levels of good vs. evil in circumstances that beg to remain as grey areas or provide certainty that someone will suffer. Video https://youtu.be/jaYViPqwcvoAudio https://buzzsprout.com/1275572There are memorable examples of how our choices affect the future in She Stands, a suspenseful Christian mystery found at CarinJayneCasey.com and amazon.com#shestands #decisionsdecisions #castyourcares #yourchoices #advocates #goldenrule #thepredator #powerofprayer #faithinhim #facingtheunknown #faithoverfears #reapwhatyousow#Turn2GodwCarin
In today's episode, “Are You Ready?” we study the parable of the ten virgins, found in Matthew 25:1-13. Half of the virgins ensured they had sufficient oil for their lamps while they waited for the bridegroom and the other half did not. All the virgins were asleep when the bridegroom arrived, but those who had prepared went with him. The others missed that opportunity. Is there unfinished business to attend to? None of us knows the exact day or hour when Jesus is coming again, but it's sooner than it was a century ago, or even yesterday. This is not a time to be distracted, procrastinate, or to give up. Are you ready? Your feedback is welcome!Video: https://youtu.be/YYZXqMB2OOIAudio: https://buzzsprout.com/1275572 Please subscribe to my YouTube channel at Carin Jayne Casey on YouTube #swordofthespirit #Turn2GodwCarin #parables #areyouready #goodvsevil #befruitful #jesusiscoming #turntojesus #wwjd #repentandbelieve #hopefaithlove
What does it mean to “Cast your Cares” and how can it be done? There are far too many people in this world who remain stuck in their troubles, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or in some twisted combination of these. What does it take to get over the horrible things of the past so the present can be enjoyed? Video https://youtu.be/knS0QmIEnJUAudio https://buzzsprout.com/1275572There are various practical examples of how to let go of troubles in She Stands, a suspenseful Christian mystery found at CarinJayneCasey.com and amazon.com#shestands #castyourcares #yourchoices #advocates #goldenrule #thepredator #powerofprayer #faithinhim #facingtheunknown #faithoverfears #reapwhatyousow #Turn2GodwCarin
In today's episode, “Good vs. Evil,” we study the parable of the faithful servant vs. the wicked servant, found in Matthew 24: 42-51. These verses emphasize that we have choices with an unknown time limit. We don't know when Jesus comes, so typically believers would plant good seeds. Such as, loving others and serving the Lord in hopes for a harvest. That harvest may be answered prayers, loved ones saved, and eternal rewards. But what if a person slacks off or gives up and finds themself with no eternal rewards? As a believer presses forward in good works in gratitude for His mercy and grace, others will see it, be influenced, and ultimately glorify God.

Have you ever received encouragement from “Advocates” who you later learned had suffered the same problems you have? Are you an advocate? Advocates are motivated to help others and hope for the best outcome. Their actions demonstrate gratitude for how the Lord has rescued them.

In today's episode, “Be Fruitful,” we study the parable of the fig tree, found in Matthew 24: 32-35 that Jesus told. These verses indicate things that will happen, just as the growth process of a fig tree, until the coming of Jesus. Compare it to the beginning of the fall season. We see trees falling, daylight becoming shorter, and we can sense that fall is near. As believers prepare for Jesus to come and through gratitude for His mercy and grace, we strive to be fruitful in character, in good works, and in loving/ serving so unbelievers will be influenced toward Jesus.
