I'm sitting here at my desk, looking out my window. Today it is bright and sunny. Those are the best days for me. Give me sunshine and I am a happy girl. Light means a lot to me!
Can We Get a Look at Perfection
I don’t think that I would consider myself a perfectionist. There are too many things that get left undone sometimes for me to consider myself a perfectionist. My brothers, on the other hand, may consider me a perfectionist. There have been numerous times, back in the day, when each of them, at one time or … Continue reading Can We Get a Look at Perfection
Help Others See Through the Tradition
I have been blessed enough to be able to travel quite a bit throughout my lifetime. I have experienced different countries, different cultures and different customs. I have been able to experience worship in different ways also. It is interesting to see different traditions in churches around the world. The thing I think about with … Continue reading Help Others See Through the Tradition
God’s Peace Looks Like Comfort
I was talking to my cousin today about some disturbing situations going on around the world. I told her that I have turned the news off. I miss the days when Walter Cronkite reported the news. He did it without a bigoted agenda twinkling in his eye. He simply read the news. You have to … Continue reading God’s Peace Looks Like Comfort
Seeing That There is No Separation From the Love of Christ
God has given us His Word as a guide for how we are to live out our Christian walk and how we are to follow the model that Jesus lived out for us. He has also given us the gift of the Holy Spirit to guide us in that walk.
His Eye is Not Only on the Sparrow
A bitter sweet memory popped up on my phone this morning. It was a blurry picture of a little girl being trailed by a dog. When we first moved to the little white house with the black shutters, there was a neighborhood dog that adopted us. The dog actually belonged to a family that lived a … Continue reading His Eye is Not Only on the Sparrow
Look for the Fingerprints of God
Sunday Blessings! Do you ever feel unseen, like you are part of the woodwork, like no one knows your name? Take this to heart. You are known. You are known by the Creator of the universe. Not only does He know your name, He is the One Who created you. Always know that … Continue reading Look for the Fingerprints of God
Looking Toward My Place of Refuge
Good grief Gracie! This is one crazy world we are living in! There does not seem to be a place to hide from the insanity. Truth seems like an extremely rare commodity. How did it change so much in, just, the past fifty-plus years? Fifty-plus years ago I was running around the mountainsides, swinging out over the ravine on … Continue reading Looking Toward My Place of Refuge
Visualize Sharing
I mentioned an unusual name, Marycushion, a couple of days ago. I suppose I could tell you how that name came to be. We were living in Kentucky, and I was a senior in high school. So the name has been around for a long time. My mom‘s cousin, her husband and four children had … Continue reading Visualize Sharing
What is the Vision of Your Heart?
I have been looking at some old photo albums the past few days. I was looking for some pictures of the house I grew up in for a future post. Old pictures make me smile. They also bring up old memories and places that make you think about the paths you have taken in life … Continue reading What is the Vision of Your Heart?
Someone Is Always Watching
I pulled the milk out of the refrigerator today. I gave it a hard shake. Every single time that I do this—and I do this most every time I get the milk out of the refrigerator—a moment in time floods my memory bank that brings a smile. It is interesting how an essentially unremarkable incident … Continue reading Someone Is Always Watching
