Millions of Raindrops

This is longer than usual, but something worth thinking about. Have a wonderful Wednesday! I’ve always wanted to do big things—you know, travel to a foreign country and help needy people. Feed and clothe those who are hungry and lack adequate clothing. I want to change the world. But I am just an ordinary person.Continue reading “Millions of Raindrops”

Faithful in the Small Things

If you think you must be a missionary or bring dozens of people to Christ, this quote is for you. God wants us to be faithful in what we do, even if it seems small to us. “So if you turn one to Christ, that one may turn a hundred; they may turn a thousand,Continue reading “Faithful in the Small Things”

Abide

I don’t know about you, but it’s my independence that can keep me from a closer relationship with God. Thinking “I can do this” rather than yielding to God, can distance me from him. And isn’t my “I can do this” attitude really a sin of pride?Good Thursday morning. May you always abide with ourContinue reading “Abide”

Spring is in the air, and the sunshine draws me to the nearby nature trails. As soon as I enter the park, serenity coversContinue reading “Ahh, Spring”

The Rock

I took advantage of the late December 60 degree afternoon by walking along the nature trails in Pawnee Prairie Park.  The ground is soft beneath my feet, and the view is fantastic.  The various paths meander through scenic routes. One can walk through short grass, cedar forests, deciduous trees, or beside the curving Cowskin Creek. Continue reading “The Rock”

Inheriting the Treasure

Inheriting the Treasure When my parents died, they left my brothers and me all their worldly treasures.  Fortunately for us, they had planned well.  They left a will, named an executor, and had their investments and savings earmarked as payable on death to us. Even though they planned carefully, we have waded through rivers ofContinue reading “Inheriting the Treasure”
