I’m sharing an earlier blog while away… As I was praying this morning so thankful for the love and provision of God, I couldn’t help but be thankful that I was born and have life. Do you ever experience that? Thank you, Lord, that I am alive? I think about all the experiences I had…

There is a thought, a search for understanding that keeps tugging at my heart. It revolves around God the Father’s love for all of us….and our ideas of whom God the Father loves. Do you ever look at other people and wonder can God love them? Do we judge them unworthy and ourselves better and…

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7. This morning in prayer I got the overwhelming sense God wanted me to understand something important. Love others. You love Me…love others. I don’t know the burdens, the hurts the weight…

I recently watched a podcast about the history of what led up to the conflict raging now in Ukraine. It was over two hours long and a desolate litany of wrongs committed by many nations. I then watched PBS Frontline’s documentary The Battle for Ukraine – that was about thirty minutes long but I only…

There’s a verse in the Bible that I always had a little trouble with because it sounded like Jesus was being uncaring for His family….dismissive. Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived.

Last night I woke up after falling asleep and God’s word was right there foremost in my thoughts. Have you ever had that happen to you? A Bible verse is there and it’s as though a conversation was interrupted when you awoke. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your…

I keep having that thought bubbling up within me. Do you remember being a child and doing something wrong and you knew you were going to get into trouble and you wished with all your heart that you hadn’t done what you did? You were caught. I wish I could say that only happened when…

Have you ever heard that expression? I have been told many times that I see the world with “rose colored glasses”. It’s lovely seeing the world that way but in the real world… My husband and I got into a discussion yesterday about reality. I freely admit that I long for Jesus to return and…

Do you ever take time to appreciate light? Artists love light. If we didn’t have light we wouldn’t be able to paint what is there. Light illuminates and separates from darkness and then we can see. One of my favorite parts of the movie Pride and Prejudice is toward the end when Elizabeth walks in…

Yesterday at Church our Pastor shared some images his wife had shared with him. On a slide show the images showed Jesus kneeling at the feet of different people to wash their feet just as he had done with the Disciples at their Passover meal before Jesus’ crucifixion. Each slide showed Jesus kneeling in the…
