Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
Where is your place of peace? Where do you go to wind down and shed all of the stresses of the world? For most people, it is definitely not out in the world. Every day that we are out there, whether we are experiencing them or not, we are surrounded by challenges, setbacks, and worries. … Continue reading Look for the Peace That God Gives
Consequences. I would hazard a guess to say that a lot of people don’t always think about consequences when they are making decisions, especially if they are making emotional decisions on the spur of the moment. I am at the end of the line for one of those consequences from a decision that I made … Continue reading Don’t Let the Consequences Slip Out of View
Do you have any idea how much water you can lose if you have a faucet that is dripping or a leaky toilet? It might actually amaze you. Last summer my water bill went up considerably from one month to the next, very considerably. I knew that I had not used a lot of extra … Continue reading Keep Your Eye on the Details
Yes, I knew eventually I was going to do it. Each time that I added water to the humidifier, I told myself “deliberately” to not forget to put the lid on the tank before I flipped it back over. But each time I did it, I knew there was going to be a time when … Continue reading A Visible Picture to Others
Peace seems like an elusive object these days. It should not be for those that follow Jesus. He promised us peace…not the kind of peace the world would give us. The peace that Jesus gives is not really able to be explained in human terms. It slips from our grasp from time to time because … Continue reading Keep the Focus Where it Needs to Be
I had a friend that went through a messy situation for a little bit because of an incident that happened in a moment in time. There were words said on both sides that probably shouldn’t have been said. There were hurt feelings, maybe on both sides, but undeniably on one side more than the other. … Continue reading Help Me See Understanding in the Wisdom
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
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
I am kind of diving right into this blog head long. It is a topic that has been on my heart for a long time, and one of the reasons I began this blog. It is aimed straight at myself. I may lose a few followers because of this one. That is OK. The Most … Continue reading Looks Like We Are Back to Fruit Again
I have generally been accused of being a Pollyanna. I try to look at most things in a positive light. I am not a big talker, especially if I am around people that I do not know. In that instance, I tend to measure my words a little more closely. I find that when I … Continue reading Looking to Tame the Tongue
