Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
Do you have a home Church that you are part of? Our eternal home is not this world, so having a church community that we can call home here is so important. Being part of a Bible believing church that is filled with those that love and serve Christ is such an important aspect of … Continue reading Getting a Glimpse of Family
Quite a few years ago, I was at a church where we were going through a time of transition. There was nothing wrong in the church. It was a time when people were coming in and out and you couldn’t tell if they really cared. They would come to church Sunday morning and then that … Continue reading Look at How You Can Lessen the Load
I can see that getting older slows me down in different ways. I will hear something that sounds like a really good idea and I write down a phrase or a sentence that I want to write about later. Then I get distracted with something else and forget to write down the thoughts that I had … Continue reading Service as We Look Toward the Twilight Years
I had a friend that went through a messy situation for a little bit because of an incident that happened in a moment in time. There were words said on both sides that probably shouldn’t have been said. There were hurt feelings, maybe on both sides, but undeniably on one side more than the other. … Continue reading Help Me See Understanding in the Wisdom
I am blessed and proud to be a citizen of the United States of America. I still get chills when I hear our national anthem. I was raised in a day when we began our school days with a prayer—to God—and the Pledge of Allegiance. We would sing, “This Land Is Your Land,” and, “America … Continue reading How Does It Look to Be a Heavenly Citizen in an Earthly Body?
I don’t think that I would consider myself a perfectionist. There are too many things that get left undone sometimes for me to consider myself a perfectionist. My brothers, on the other hand, may consider me a perfectionist. There have been numerous times, back in the day, when each of them, at one time or … Continue reading Can We Get a Look at Perfection
God has given us His Word as a guide for how we are to live out our Christian walk and how we are to follow the model that Jesus lived out for us. He has also given us the gift of the Holy Spirit to guide us in that walk.
Good grief Gracie! This is one crazy world we are living in! There does not seem to be a place to hide from the insanity. Truth seems like an extremely rare commodity. How did it change so much in, just, the past fifty-plus years? Fifty-plus years ago I was running around the mountainsides, swinging out over the ravine on … Continue reading Looking Toward My Place of Refuge
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
