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!
Surveying Forgiveness
Easter is near. Thinking of this time, and reflecting on all that Christ endured, it makes me think about the cost of forgiveness… and unforgiveness. Leading up to Easter this year, I have been re-watching previous seasons of series The Chosen. The next season comes this year around the Easter time frame. I have just … Continue reading Surveying Forgiveness
See Where We Should Depend on God
I wasn’t anxious yesterday. But I could feel anxiety sitting around me. I had a visit with my retina specialist. It would have been the day before, but he was in surgery all day. Because it was a work-in visit, I waited over two hours. It is interesting to sit in a waiting room and … Continue reading See Where We Should Depend on God
Looking at Living Faith Without a Microphone
There was a time when my faith hung on the wall of my office. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t pushy. It didn’t quote Scripture in bold letters or ask anyone to agree with me. It simply existed—quietly, faithfully—where anyone who walked through my door could see it. It was a to-do list. Pray. Sing. Smile … Continue reading Looking at Living Faith Without a Microphone
Sometimes Those Visible Layers Need a Good Scrub
My return trip from visiting my niece ended up being a longer day than I thought it would. The plan was to get through the flight, grab lunch, go home, get the travel crud washed off in the shower, and relax the rest of the day. As it ended up, I hit two airports, one … Continue reading Sometimes Those Visible Layers Need a Good Scrub
Don’t Be Out There Looking for Trouble
I got all of my “checks” done from the previous post. I made it to the airport — and through the airport! I was a little anxious flying by myself. This was the first time that I had flown by myself since the most recent vision loss. I had an escort from the check-in counter … Continue reading Don’t Be Out There Looking for Trouble
Preparation: How it Looks to Me
If you are going on a journey, you prepare. In getting ready to visit my niece and her husband a plane ride away, I got into preparation mode. Flight? Check. Ground transportation? Check. Suitcase packed? Check. Clean house before I leave? Check. Personal papers laid out where they can be easily found? Check. ….Wait, what? … Continue reading Preparation: How it Looks to Me
Wait on the Lord!
Here is a weekend blessing! “But they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31(American Standard Version) _____________________ What is your relationship to the all-knowing God of the universe? Do you know Jesus? … Continue reading Wait on the Lord!
Viewing the Well of Eternal Refreshment
I was really thirsty. I wanted an icy, refreshing fountain drink. Yet I poured another one down the drain and finally said, “No more.” A Major fast food restaurant — famous for its fountain drinks — has disappointed me for months. I kept hoping it was just a mix issue or faulty equipment that would … Continue reading Viewing the Well of Eternal Refreshment
Seeking the Visible Benefits of Sacrifice
Today is the first day of Lent. I will be focusing the next forty days on my journey toward Easter. I don’t celebrate Lent as part of any organized religious group as many do. I like the idea of taking the forty days preceding Easter to focus on the sacrifice that Christ gave for me. … Continue reading Seeking the Visible Benefits of Sacrifice
Don’t Let Fear See you Flinch
Seeing a picture of a Rottweiler today made me laugh. It brought back the memory of the time when my car was rocked by a Rottweiler and he bit off my side mirror. “My story” has always been that he bit my side mirror off. But I suppose if we are being truthful here, he did not … Continue reading Don’t Let Fear See you Flinch
Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
