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”
Reflected Glory
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”
Through the Psalms, 27

A Hungry Soul The little soul lived for many years in the same woods. The sun shone on her leafy branches, and she produced much fruit.

A Blanket of White
A Blanket of White Light streaming through my window awakened me. Like a child, I jumped out of bed and hurried to the window. Sparkling in my back porch light, snow blanketed the yard. Winter’s drab landscape changed to a fairyland. The dead, brown grass disappeared under the snowy blanket, and the barren trees woreContinue reading “A Blanket of White”
The Light of the World
“The Bible is not the light of the world, it is the light of the Church. But the world does not read the Bible, the world reads Christians! “You are the light of the world.”” ― Charles H. Spurgeon Father, fill me with Your light. Let it shine out so that others may see You.
Seeing the Dawn
After an unusually difficult two months—several lingering illnesses that left me constantly fatigued, my father-in-law’s serious stroke, caring for my mother-in-law—I was feeling tired, stressed, and discouraged. Driving to work, I shed a few tears of self- pity. As I turned to the east, a gorgeous sunrise greeted me. Thin clouds created a golden pinkContinue reading “Seeing the Dawn”
