A Heavenly Mother's Day

You are His Piece de Resistance!
My Ford Explorer requires gasoline in order to run properly. If I were to fill my gas tank up with water or diesel, well…it may run for a little but it will become sluggish and eventually stall and stop operating. My vehicle was created to function using what was...
A Mother's Desire for Her Children

In a journal entry last month I mentioned and shared the lyrics to Tim McGraw’s chart-topping song “Humble and Kind”. (Click here to view.) While reading God’s word this morning I couldn’t help but whisper the words to the song in my head again. In the verses from...
Seek God
In Luke 19:1-10 we read the story of a wee little man. Go ahead, you know you want to sing or hum the song about Zacchaeus. Anyhow…in verse 10 we read, “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Yes, that’s right, God seeks. He pursues us. He pursues us...
Persistence Paid Off

No Excuses…Look Around
