Daily Walking with God
A Graduation Letter from God
This is the season of graduation. Tim and I have two down, and one to go. When our eldest graduated, God gave me the scripture and words to put together "A letter to the graduate from God" I hope you will enjoy these words which are so very true for not only the...
God Whispers
Thumbing through the pages of family members’ bibles from generations past is often comforting. Knowing that my parents or grandparents or great-grands or even great-great-grandparents once turned these same pages, give me a since of Christian heritage that is often...
Rescuing the Rescued
The morning I woke, knowing that I was going to visit and spend time with a friend in need, this scripture appeared on my phone: “Yes, God’s riches are very great! His wisdom and knowledge have no end! No one can explain what God decides. No one can understand His...
What I really want for Mother's Day
Recently a dear friend, Dede, “copied and pasted” a wonderful answer to the question, “Mom, what do you want for Mother’s Day?” The response is more than wonderful it’s spot on: I want you. I want you to keep coming around, I want you to bring your girlfriends...
Do you need or want Jesus?
Recently my family rose from slumber to begin a day of work around the home. The list of things-to-do would grow throughout the morning as a new need would arise. I made the comment, “I need to go spend some time with Jesus.” A family member replied, “You don’t ‘need’...
Better Than Expected
God’s gone and done it again. This morning “my plan” was to sit in my oversized comfy chair in my study, and get busy spending time with Jesus. I had three devotionals I was working on, and I was ready to begin studying and typing. Then, as Tim was leaving for work,...
Take It Easy
Slow ride…take it easy. No, I’m not talking about the song. I’m thinking about life. This is a lesson that I have learned and continue to learn. I look around the sphere I’m in, and observe the people hustling and bustling through life, “they” make me want to just...
"It is finished." Really?
We hear those words, “It is finished!” in John 19:30 as Jesus took His last breath. But is it really finished? Let’s probe into what was supposedly finished: What did Jesus finish? “I brought glory to You here on earth by completing the work You gave me to do.” John...
The Choice is Yours
Thought One: They called out to Him, “If you are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.” Luke 23:37 I can imagine Jesus forgivingly looking at them and saying to Himself, “It’s not about me now, I’m busy saving all of you.” Why do I say forgivingly? Because in verse 34,...
Y’all…That’s GOOD!
Good Friday? What’s so “good” about remembering the death of Jesus Christ. He suffered and died by means of one of the most horrific ways to die. Not only was Jesus Christ nailed to the cross in form of great humiliation, but was flogged, mocked, beaten, and had...
The Prodigal Child
Holly turned 18 and was ready to “get outta here!”. She knew that her daddy had worked hard and was financially sound, and that she had an inheritance coming her way when the good Lord was ready to call her daddy home. Yet, Holly just couldn’t wait. She asked, no…she...
Dwell Well
“Dwell well.” Those are two words that having been echoing in my mind for the past three months. Allow me to briefly digress…The day before Thanksgiving of 2016 I happened to do what my brother calls “an old lady fall”. He said that after all the crazy and...
