When our son, Nathan, was younger I used to read a book to him that told the true story of Jesus healing 10 lepers. It had realistic illustrations, and the account was told in such a way that it always held Nathan’s interest. But the segment of the story that Nathan could never quite understandContinue reading “GRATEFUL?”

Honor Your Father and Mother
Another Mother’s Day is in the books, and the sun is about to set on this Father’s Day. The older I get, the more I realize what a gift God gave me with a precious mother that was a role model. She and I had a special relationship and bond. Even as a young child,Continue reading “Honor Your Father and Mother”
Peppers, Carrots, Bugs and more…
Lately I’ve been amazed at how God “speaks” to me and shows Himself through the mundane, the small and the ordinary. What do I mean? Just some random thoughts and incidents with nature leave me in awe of our mighty Creator who shows His creativity and magnificence at every turn. I’ve been in awe forContinue reading “Peppers, Carrots, Bugs and more…”
In case you don’t know
There are some things in life that as an adult you’re just expected to know. I remember when older people used to discuss John F. Kennedy’s assassination and death. Most of the world seem to know the details, but not me. I was a 1-year old when Kennedy was shot. So I wasn’t in theContinue reading “In case you don’t know”
What’s in your hands – take II
Sometimes God reveals to us what’s in our hands that we’re holding on too tightly. Through the Holy Spirit, He lets us know what we need to surrender to Him because it’s creating a wedge between Him and us – or it’s a barrier to our spiritual growth – or we’re clinging so tightly thatContinue reading “What’s in your hands – take II”
What’s in your hands?
Why are there so many Christians who seem to never really EXPERIENCE God? As a believer in Jesus, I have struggled with this question lately. Perhaps it’s because I’ve witnessed several adults walk away from God and their faith in the last couple of months. It’s been heartbreaking! Or being a teacher, who has taughtContinue reading “What’s in your hands?”
God’s Provision
Has there ever been a time when you doubted God’s provision for you? Perhaps you thought that your need – whether it be financial, emotional or physical – was too big or too complicated for God to meet and solve? Even thinking of this question and topic reminds me of numerous people in the Bible:Continue reading “God’s Provision”
Intentional and Disciplined
Happy New Year, friends! Did you go to your primary care doctor last year for a check-up or physical? Do you plan to this year? Most of us want to be healthy – and may even go the doctor and/or set goals to do so. I commend you if that’s on your radar for theContinue reading “Intentional and Disciplined”
Forgiveness
Are you a list maker? I am! I love to make a “to do” list – and even more, I love the feeling of crossing off responsibilities and/or goals. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment, whether it’s a small task or a monumental one! Do you make “mental checklists” in your Christian life?Continue reading “Forgiveness”
Because I said so
Growing up, I was a pretty compliant child. Now that doesn’t mean I didn’t “test the waters” or ever disobey. For the most part, my desire was to please my parents and make them proud of me. But there were times I had to exercise my authority. I distinctly remember when I didn’t mind orContinue reading “Because I said so”
