Dallas Willard “As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.” Proverbs 27:19 Lord, may my heart beat for you.

Christmas Gifts
Christmas Gifts Christmas is over. The presents are open and the wrapping paper thrown away. At our house the “biggest” gift was our new grandson, Simeon, then just six weeks old. Everyone wanted to hold him, to touch his oh-so-soft skin. We exclaimed over a smile, and the trusting eyes looking at everything, taking itContinue reading “Christmas Gifts”
TICK, TICK, TICK
Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot beContinue reading “TICK, TICK, TICK”
Food for Thought
It’s one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us. Oswald Chambers Are we glorifying God to impress others? Or to feel better about ourselves? Or are we trulyContinue reading “Food for Thought”
Gentleness and Respect
Have a wonderful Monday, my friends, and remember to treat others with gentleness and respect. It’s easy to read a scripture and nod our heads and agree with it, right? With all the arguments and disagreeing happening, I’m thinking perhaps we all need to work on treating others with gentleness and respect. It’s a totallyContinue reading “Gentleness and Respect”

Rejoice in the love He has shown for all of us. Share that love with others. This December, may we be more intentional aboutContinue reading “Happy December”
The Lord is Not Slow
When I read this verse, I think about all the souls who have never heard the gospel, or all those who have heard bits and pieces, but don’t understand or believe it. How reassuring to know that He does not want anyone to perish, but He will allow them to come to repentance. In HisContinue reading “The Lord is Not Slow”
Rejoice!
We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be. Oswald Chambers I love thisContinue reading “Rejoice!”
