Walking with God
Rise and Shine…and give God the glory!
Good morning, Sunshine! Rise and shine, because today is a new day. Do you sometimes feel that you just need a fresh start? Here are more than a few truths I jotted down while reading Psalm 19 this morning. I pray that you find them refreshing and encouraging as you...
You can’t add any time to your life by worrying.
A few weeks ago, I went to get the blankets out of a creative driftwood table that has a removable top, to wash them. This table is in our outdoor living area. When I opened the lid, I noticed that a bird had begun to build its nest. How precious! I thought to myself...
Is your glass half full or half empty?
Do you see the glass half full or half empty? It doesn’t matter how you see it…just fill it! Fill it with the abundant love that Christ Jesus has for you. Listen, He won’t ever run out of love. His love is so deep, so wide, so long, and so high that it is often...
Be an Encourager
Each day I try to find inspiration through something. It may be as simple as sitting on my back porch listening to the birds and watching the squirrels (as I’m doing now). They remind me to speak out, communicate, prepare for days ahead, work hard, be mindful of my...
Peace, Strength, and Comfort…continue to be found
When I hear or see the date, June 3rd, my stature feels heaviness upon it. Yet, with that heaviness comes a feather-like sensation of God’s peace, strength, and comfort encompassing me. Today I attended a beautiful and uplifting funeral for a lady from my church....
Need help with Praying?
Prayer. Do you struggle with it? Prayer is a H-U-G-E part of my life. I sometimes feel that I’m praying all day long. I’m not talking about closing my eyes and praying a prestigious “Oh, Most Gracious and Heavenly Father” prayer (not that there’s anything wrong with...
Finding peace, joy, and hope in the struggles.
“For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the...
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’...
