Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
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?
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 was reading through a writer’s book today. One of the sections of the book had different writing prompts. One of the writing prompts was, “What was the first thing you saved up your own money to buy?” I don’t think it would have been when I was a child, because there was probably only … Continue reading The Treasure We Have Our Eyes On
I suppose the January time frame is a strange time to be thinking of African Violets. I always remember a magnificent pot of velvety, violet blooms during the weeks after the New Year of 2000 that provided comfort through a difficult time. A coworker had an African violet plant in her office. It had not … Continue reading Catching Sight of Comfort
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. The one they sent yesterday referenced Hebrews 12:1, the end of the current year … Continue reading Strength is Within Sight
I was video chatting with my cousin tonight. She was telling me about the middle school basketball games they had watched last night. Her daughter plays on the girl’s middle school team. After their game, they stayed to watch the boys play. Apparently, the other team didn’t have very much sportsmanship, and I’m not talking … Continue reading Listen, Look and Learn
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
