Good morning! This short devotion first appeared in “The Secret Place.” Today, I’m happy to share it with you. God’s Embrace A tickle deep in my throat prompted me to leave the sanctuary during the sermon. I got a drink, coughed, and blew my nose where the noise wouldn’t disturb others. Standing outside the nursery,Continue reading “God’s Embrace”

The Hand of Jesus
Good Monday morning! I hope you have a beautiful day and are willing to take the Savior’s hand. Thank you, Abba, Father, for always being willing to take my hand and offer assistance.
At a Snail’s Pace
During a recent walk, I noticed a tiny snail, its shell no bigger than a dime. It appeared motionless, but when I knelt down for a zoomed-in photo, I could see its forward progress. Ever so slowly, it traveled, a millimeter at a time, across the sidewalk. Satisfied with my photo, I continued my walk.Continue reading “At a Snail’s Pace”
Footprints in the Sand
Happy Wednesday, y’all! I wrote this devotion after a trip to Hawaii to visit with family. I hope you enjoy, and it inspires you.

A Woodland Sanctuary
Happy Wednesday, my friends! Here’s a little devotion to help you get over the hump. As I walked the nature trails, I wandered off the beaten path. Large toadstools nestled under a grove of blue spruce trees attracted my attention. Pushing aside branches, I walked fifteen feet, entering a small clearing. The ground, carpeted withContinue reading “A Woodland Sanctuary”

Venturing off the six-foot-wide, highly travelled walkway, I stepped through the trees onto the sandyContinue reading “Ordinary Beauty”
Happiness
Happy Tuesday! Don’t you just love Norman Vincent Peale’s positive attitude? “The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.” ― Norman Vincent Peale
Through the Psalms
Another taste of the Psalms today. Have a lovely Friday, my friends. Psalm 17: 6-7 “I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; Turn your ear to me and hear my prayer. Show me the wonders of your great love, You who save by your right hand Those who take refuge inContinue reading “Through the Psalms”
Healing What Ails Us
Healing What Ails You Earlier, I caught a nasty virus, the kind that plays havoc with your digestive system. Of course, we were out of town when it hit. During our granddaughter’s dance competition, we sat in the balcony watching so many beautiful dancers. While waiting for her solos, it hit hard. The closest bathroomContinue reading “Healing What Ails Us”

Happy Tuesday everyone! Some words of wisdom from A.W. Tozer for you today. “We have become so engrossed in the work of the Lord that we have forgotten the Lord of the work.”― A.W.
