There are some days I just astound myself. It is at times like these that I am overwhelmed with gratitude of what Jesus did for me. Someone said something mean and accusing and before I knew it I reacted in a bad way. “ I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what … Continue reading We all have choices
A friend and fellow blogger invited me to do something different for Lent this year. Every day we are reading John 17, and digging deeper to find new insights into the prayer of Jesus right before he was arrested. Verse 20 really stuck out to me. “I am praying not only for these disciples but … Continue reading Exponential
I'm sure we've all had an encounter with a person like this. They know absolutely everything about everything, and are not at all bashful about sharing their advice and opinions about the situation. Nobody likes a know-it-all. It is especially irritating when the start with, “Well if it were me...” and proceed to tell you … Continue reading Know-it-all
Recently we were watching an old Western movie, and the folks in the wagon train were grateful that they made it across the swollen stream safely. So they stopped to praise God. (Don't see that in many movies nowadays!) One gentleman was very enthusiastic, singing loudly and off key, but he didn't care, he was … Continue reading A classic re-imagined
I love babies. My favorite thing when my son was a baby was the smell of his head. I guess that's why I love the line in the song Away in a Manger that says “the little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.” So when I read this the other day about His precious … Continue reading A fall to my knees moment
I saw the flashing lights in my rear view mirror. I pulled over. When the officer came to my window he asked, "Do you know how fast you were going?" I looked down at my speedometer and replied, "Romans 8:11" Ooops! My Women's Group were discussing how we memorize Scripture. One lady passed on to … Continue reading Ooops!
My dad was great. On this, the anniversary of his graduating into heaven, I was thinking about my Eternal Dad. I found this awhile back and saved it, but did not cite the source. It is really heart warming and lets me know how I am really and truly loved. My Dad loves me and … Continue reading Dad’s love
On a cold day, there is nothing better than snuggling in a warm blanket. It is very relaxing and comforting. So when I read this the other morning, I found great comfort in it. “Are you aware that God knows exactly where you are and what you are doing right now? What about tomorrow or … Continue reading Comforting
A few months back I had a game changing experience. My head, heart and soul literally burst into kittens, rainbows and unicorns! (Well, not really, but it sure felt like it.) Defined, a game changer is a newly introduced element or factor that changes an existing situation or activity in a significant way. “Faith comes … Continue reading Game changer
I've been thinking through some stuff the last couple of years. Some difficult stuff. My dad passed away over a decade ago, and this fall my mom passed. My word of the year for 2024 is Restoration. I actually began unpacking it after my mom passed. Slowly, as the Holy Spirit brought things to remembrance, … Continue reading Repeat after me
