Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
If you are going on a journey, you prepare. In getting ready to visit my niece and her husband a plane ride away, I got into preparation mode. Flight? Check. Ground transportation? Check. Suitcase packed? Check. Clean house before I leave? Check. Personal papers laid out where they can be easily found? Check. ….Wait, what? … Continue reading Preparation: How it Looks to Me
I was really thirsty. I wanted an icy, refreshing fountain drink. Yet I poured another one down the drain and finally said, “No more.” A Major fast food restaurant — famous for its fountain drinks — has disappointed me for months. I kept hoping it was just a mix issue or faulty equipment that would … Continue reading Viewing the Well of Eternal Refreshment
Today is the first day of Lent. I will be focusing the next forty days on my journey toward Easter. I don’t celebrate Lent as part of any organized religious group as many do. I like the idea of taking the forty days preceding Easter to focus on the sacrifice that Christ gave for me. … Continue reading Seeking the Visible Benefits of Sacrifice
Seeing a picture of a Rottweiler today made me laugh. It brought back the memory of the time when my car was rocked by a Rottweiler and he bit off my side mirror. “My story” has always been that he bit my side mirror off. But I suppose if we are being truthful here, he did not … Continue reading Don’t Let Fear See you Flinch
I am looking forward to beginning a new Bible study this week. Meeting together with other believers as we honor God is refreshing. It is a spiritual growth process. We examine, study and learn individually throughout the week. Then we gather together and share what we have gleaned with others. Talking about our Lord with others … Continue reading Continue to Examine God’s Word
Happy Valentine’s Day y’all! Today is a quiet day for me. I personally think it is a good day to reflect on love. I am missing a big chunk of my heart on this particular Valentine’s Day. The sweet thing is that I am surrounded by family and friends that are trying hard to fill … Continue reading Looking at the Love That Never Fails
The sixty-five-year-old oak table was distressed in a way that depicted use—depicted life. One leg lurched from a long-ago break, steadied now by a flat stone tucked beneath it. Burn marks, water rings, scratches, scars, and discoloration covered its surface. And yet, beneath the browns, grays, and charcoal shadows of use and misuse, a hint … Continue reading No Need to Look Underneath
What does home look like to you? Are you from a large family or small family? Do you have tons of aunts and uncles and cousins, or just a few family members scattered here and there? Is your family close emotionally, in proximity? Do you spend time together? Do you stay in touch? What is … Continue reading The View of Our Heavenly Home
What does your day and night look like? Can you tell them apart? Since I’ve been trying to get my schedule realigned from the past couple of years of just winging it, sometimes it is hard for me to see where the day ends and the night begins. To say my sleep schedule is out … Continue reading From the Light of Day to the Dark of Night
Saturday Blessings! I wanted to share one of my favorite passages. It means so much and it has helped me through some rough days. I hope it blesses you too. “1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made … Continue reading I Will Lift My Eyes to the Hills
