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”

Ordinary Beauty

Happy Wednesday. Here’s a devotion to enjoy today. Ordinary Beauty Today, heeding the words of Robert Frost, I took “the road less travelled.” As I walked the familiar gravel path, I noticed a trail to my left, and it beckoned. 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.

The closest bathroomContinue reading “Healing What Ails Us”

God’s Word

Good Monday morning, my friends! Have you noticed how you can read the same passage of scripture at different times in your life, and you’ve learned something different every time? Lord, thank you for your living word that teaches us. May we have eyes to see and ears to hear your truth, and the willingnessContinue reading “God’s Word”

Mired in Muck

Mired in Muck After an extremely dry fall and winter, it finally rained. All day the water poured from the heavens in a steady stream. Water ample enough to soak the earth and fill the streams refreshed the dried landscape. I waited for a couple of days after the rainfall to venture out to theContinue reading “Mired in Muck”
