Open Arms

“If you had never known physical pain in your life, how could you appreciate the nail scarred hands with which Jesus Christ will meet you?”

-Joni Eareckson Tada.

I can imagine Him, walking toward me with outstretched arms, allowing me to see one way He suffered for me. Will I be ashamed because I didn’t glorify him and didn’t serve others in His name? Or will I run to Him with open arms?

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
