Into His Harvest Field

Open our eyes, Lord, to those you’d have us reach out to, to ways we can show others about Your saving grace.

Drawing Closer

Today I’m wondering what you are doing this month/year to draw closer to God. I’d love to hear your ideas.

Approaching God

Father, teach me to ask for all the good gifts You long to give me.

Father, thank you for the little things–a quote, a lovely ice formation, a smile–that brightenContinue reading “Just Imagine”
