Praise God~

In good times and bad times, times of plenty, times of want, times of joy, times of pain, in all times, He is worthy of praise. I praise you, almighty God, in all situations.

I looked up the definition of “compassion.” Here’s what it said in Merrian-Websters: “sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it.” I don’t know about you, but when I apply that to God, it’s pretty special. Basically, He is aware of my distress and desires to alleviate it. You can’t getContinue reading “Compassionate God”

Is There Room at the Inn?

Is There Room at the Inn? For several weeks I’ve busily prepared for the holidays. The house is decked out in Christmas finery: the tree is lit, garlands cover the stairway and windows, and angels and nativities adorn the tabletops. Holiday meals are cooked, and the pantry is stocked. Treats wait for children and grandchildrenContinue reading “Is There Room at the Inn?”

His Love

Oh, God, You are so good. Thank you for loving me enough to offer me Your grace.

Be Nice to Your Brother

I had a mantra for them, “Be nice to your brother.” That helped them remember to be kind…sometimes. Now they’ve outgrown that stage, but they still occasionally give one another an “affectionate”Continue reading “Be Nice to Your Brother”

Jesus Example

My husband and I were so blessed today to have a stranger stop to help shovel 7.8 inches of snow off of our driveway. What a blessing to have that stranger take the time and energy to serve us. Lord, I may not be able to help others with heavy lifting, but I can stillContinue reading “Jesus Example”
