Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
Back in the early to mid 1960s, my next-door neighbor and I were pushing the envelope for girls. Well, technically we didn’t realize that we were doing anything to any envelope, but it kinda looks like we were. She and I were the same age. I was born in March and she was born in … Continue reading You are Seen, You are Worthy
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 was checking in with a friend today about how I could pray for them in the coming year. They said something that I didn’t get all the way the first time. It was the key to their message for me. Then as I looked at it again, I got it. They said, "I have … Continue reading What Does Your Fruit Look Like?
I have a friend that sends me a text with a Bible verse and a related question each morning. Sometimes they hit home and match either a circumstance I am dealing with or something going on in general in the world.

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
Have you ever waited for something that you were promised would happen? It seemed to be taking a long time and you were just not sure it was going to happen? I think that is how Christmas seems for children, like it is far, far away. It is a gift you have promise of, but … Continue reading Focusing on the Promised Gift
This one may be a little long. I have so much to say and don’t really know how to say it, or how to shorten it. So I am not really worried about word count tonight. We run through life and, if we are blessed enough, we meet many people, make a number of acquaintances … Continue reading Examine the Grace of Love
We just finished Christmas Eve with my family. We had finger foods to eat. We ended up watching a Christmas movie I had not seen, and we exchanged gifts. Our gatherings are much smaller these days. There are folks not here that we miss and folks not here that hurt our hearts; the hardest two … Continue reading Tears Will Be Wiped Away From Our Eyes
We all have different opinions on what treasure is. Some treasure money. Some treasure their family or relationships. Some treasure experiences in their lives and time spent with friends.
