Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:7-12. I was talking to my youngest brother this morning, and we got on the subject of learning styles. He started telling me about a learning experience he had in a high school English class. English wasn’t his thing. He was more math, science and football. He said that in … Continue reading Read the Book
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:1-6. (Sorry…This one may be a little longer than normal. I’ve been told that blog posts should be short. It’s just that I’m trying something new and I need a little explaining room. To my brother that likes my shorter posts…hopefully this won’t happen often!) I don’t always have a … Continue reading They Don’t Hear Us, They See Us
Growing up did your mom ever give you the look? You know the one I’m talking about. You were probably misbehaving in some way. You were in a situation where she could not get to you to grab you by the ear, most likely a very public place. The best she could do at that … Continue reading God Giving You the Look
The past few weeks have been significantly different for me. I’m a girl that does not do change well. Losing my best friend is definitely a change. I like my days ordered pretty much the same. Most people would call that boring. I call it easy. I like easy. Since September 22nd, big change … Continue reading Seeing Another Side of Grace
Most days I make myself a whipped coffee. Truthfully, it is more milk than coffee. But the drink is whipped with a whisk until it is a thick and chocolate creamy with that touch of coffee. Oh, did I forget to mention the chocolate? I use Nestle’s cocoa powder for the chocolate hit. I am … Continue reading Christ’s Protection Illuminates Our Future
I was walking through the house today and did something silly. It was nothing to write home about, but just struck me as humorous. Then the next thought that hit me was. “And I did not make a song out of it.” There was no silly singing like I would have done a month ago. … Continue reading Silly Songs Are Out of Sight
I received a text from a friend this morning with a Bible verse and a word of encouragement. The scripture was Romans 5:3-4. They were talking about prayer and how when things are going good and life is easy that we don’t always take the time to pray—you know, real knee bending, heart aching, soul … Continue reading Let Prayer Illuminate Your Whole Life
Let’s face it. We are living in a world that would rather hold a grudge than offer love and forgiveness. How did we get here? We used to live in a kinder, gentler world. I think maybe there was a time when people had more respect for God, for others and for themselves. Respect for … Continue reading Examine Love and Forgiveness in Your Heart
This was one of the first random blog ideas I had written down in my idea notebook back in 2017, when I initially began my blog. I was thinking about the wisdom needed for decisions that we make in life and how every decision, even a small one, has an effect on yourself and/or others. I … Continue reading Gazing at the Ripples in the Water
I talked recently about taking some time completely away from social media, and that included most television. For the past three weeks I have been mostly off line, with just enough to research and post my blogs. I really have not missed it. I told someone that for the past three weeks I have been … Continue reading Light and Strength
