Recognize the Routine

This post’s Scripture passage reference: Psalm 119:98-101. My niece called me a few weeks ago. She was frustrated. Her work day had been stressful. Then when she got home she found that Chewie (her 70 pound Chow) had torn the mini blinds down in the bedroom…again.  Poor Chewie. Yes, he got in trouble.  From the … Continue reading Recognize the Routine →

When Others Look at Me, Will They See That I Have Served Faithfully?

This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:94-97 Thursday morning I had some letters ready to put in the mailbox. I put my little jacket on over top of my pajamas and headed down the hill toward the mailbox. Right before I got to the bottom of the hill, a little blue car turned into my driveway. … Continue reading When Others Look at Me, Will They See That I Have Served Faithfully? →

Oh Let Me See You Breathe Strongly On Me

This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:75-80 My electronic device (aka my phone) drives me nuts some times, well lots of times. I think they are made to deliberately see how many times they can get you to yell at them. The auto-correct is my nemesis as of late. I like to talk my texts in. … Continue reading Oh Let Me See You Breathe Strongly On Me →

Joy to Brighten the Day

This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:64-68 In Bible study the other night we were talking about wanting our homes to be peaceful places. (If you have heard me tell this story a hundred times….sorry!)  I feel like encouraging, uplifting music plays a big part in creating that soothing atmosphere.  I generally keep a Christian music station … Continue reading Joy to Brighten the Day →

Walk the Path That is Lit By The Light of The World 

This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:59-63 I went to the movies with friends and saw a sweet, faith based movie tonight. We got into the theatre after the lights had gone down. That makes it a little more challenging, but the strips of light along the side of the steps helped lead the way. It … Continue reading Walk the Path That is Lit By The Light of The World  →

Don’t Be Afraid to Be the Light that Filters Through the Dark

This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:48-53 Have you ever been challenged, out of the blue, by a stranger in a situation where you may not have been comfortable sharing your Christian witness? I guess since I have already hinted at my age once this week I might as well do it again. I had a … Continue reading Don’t Be Afraid to Be the Light that Filters Through the Dark →

Look Long Enough to “Get It” 

This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:42-47 My cousin told me yesterday that the middle school basketball coach called her and told her that she would like for her daughter to try out for the basketball team. She wasn’t sure if she would want to or not. She told her that she had never played and … Continue reading Look Long Enough to “Get It”  →
