Today, November 2nd, I am thankful that I can worship (or not) wherever I choose.

A Month of Thankfulness, Day 1
Today, November 1st, I am thankful for the bounty of the earth. Our small backyard garden has yielded tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers for us to eat. We can visit the farmer’s market for many tasty, nutritious foods. Locally grown corn-on-the-cob, onions, white and sweet potatoes, green beans and so many more. The grocery store offersContinue reading “A Month of Thankfulness, Day 1”
The Son’s Warmth
The Sun’s Warmth I love to feel the sun shining on my face. Its rays soak into my skin, leaving me warm, mellow, and comfortable. In the sunshine my spirits lift, energizing me for the day’s tasks. On a cloudy, windy day, the chill penetrates my body, leaving me cold and shivering. The sunless, grayContinue reading “The Son’s Warmth”

Rev. 1:16b “His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance” The small lake shimmers smooth as glass, its dark greenish-brown surface reflecting the surrounding autumn world. Dark, straight tree trunks and branches protect the lake’s perimeter, the yellow, green, and orange leaves doubled in their reflected beauty. The contour of each billowyContinue reading “Reflected Glory”
Fields of Grace
Good morning! Here’s your Wednesday devotion. Enjoy! Fields of Grace During my morning walk on the nature trails, a song kept running through my head: “Dancing with my Father God in fields of praise.” But my mind changed “praise” to “grace.” Over and over I heard those words in my head: “Dancing with my FatherContinue reading “Fields of Grace”
Fear God
Happy Thursday! Here’s some food for thought from Oswald Chambers “The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.” Oswald Chambers
