Child of God
Just think…we are children of God. Isn’t that an amazing thought? God, who is love, is our father. He loves us. We who love are his children and we know him. It seems there is a command in here, too, right? Love others. Love comes from God, so we, his children ought to love others.Continue reading “Child of God”
Glimpses of His Glory
Early in the morning before the phone starts ringing and the demands of the day begin pressing all around, I love to curl up in my favorite glider rocker and just think.

The older I get, the more I understand that “love” is an action verb. There is a difference between saying, “I love you,” and DOING something to demonstrate that love. God calls us to love with our actions, whether we are demonstrating love to a dear one, or to a total stranger. Lord, reveal toContinue reading “Love is an Action Verb”
New Growth
I love springtime! Overnight the world changes from dull, dry, and dead to colorful, vibrant, and alive. The trees, which stretched their bare arms heavenward all winter, now dress in a pale green blush. Our Bradford pear tree nods its white, blooming head gently in the spring breezes. Yesterday, the grass was brittle and brown. Continue reading “New Growth”
