Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
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
I am definitely old enough to have learned this lesson way earlier than this year, quite recently actually — a better way to use a potato peeler. Who knew there could be a better way? Prior to the potato peeler I would peel potatoes with a knife, and, yes, I butchered them. I ended up cutting … Continue reading Observing Lessons from a Potato Peeler
We take so much for granted in this modern age that we live in. With the touch of a button we can be at the other side of the world, exploring deserts, mountains and forests, immersing ourselves in the culture and customs of other lands… maybe not in person, but the eye gate can still … Continue reading I Know Who I Am Through Christ; But Do Others See Who I Am I For Christ?
I was talking with some ladies this past week about coming up with some ministry ideas that would benefit the community and help folks that are in need. Then later in the week I was speaking to another lady on the phone and she was telling me that she is involved in something similar to … Continue reading Visualize What Building Each Other Up Looks Like
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
Sometimes you pray and you pray…and you pray for a circumstance to turn out the way you want it to. You want that great job. You want that great relationship and then marriage. You want your children to be strong and healthy. You want your life to be good. Those are not evil things to … Continue reading Recognize the Wonders of God
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
It seems like we are always trying to get out of something. When you are in school as a child you can’t wait to get out for summer break. When you are in high school or college you can’t wait to graduate and get out on your own. I have been in vehicles before that … Continue reading Can You See the Way In
When I look around, I see many people that never appear to be touched by sorrow or trouble. They seem to live (to the human perspective) a charmed life. The sun is always shining for them. The light is always green. Their life looks flawless. Their heart seems to know no sorrow. Then, I think … Continue reading Seeing Trials Through a Different Perspective
It has been a busy day. I love Sundays though! My time to write is shorter but my time to be blessed is longer. I am still catching up on rest and trying to get into some kind of normal schedule. With days and nights that were kind of here and there for the past … Continue reading Look Around for the Joy
