Oswald Chambers Are we glorifying God to impress others? Or to feel better about ourselves? Or are we truly glorifying God, not to lift ourselves, but no acknowledge How amazing our God truly is? What does scripture tell us about this? I’m sure you can find other appropriate scripture, but here is one to contemplate:Continue reading “Food for Thought”

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”
God’s Will
Photo credit to Emma Sturm “…the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by his letting us have our way in the end, but by his making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly pray what he taught his disciples to pray: Thy will be done.” Elisabeth ElliotContinue reading “God’s Will”
Happy December
December–a time of decorating, cooking, baking, shopping, and wrapping. May this December be a time of reflection, joy, love, and spiritual growth. Anticipate the birth of the Savior of the world. 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!”
Walking the Nature Trails
The path opens to a clearing larger than a football field. Waist high brome grasses sway slightly in a gentle waltz with the faint breeze. Nearby branches merely watch, too heavily laden with yellow-green hedge apples to dance. On the far side of the field lies a painter’s palette of trees showing their colors—green, yellow,Continue reading “Walking the Nature Trails”
Be Thankful
It’s Thanks giving month, yet I still need this sweet reminder. I need it every month, every day. Isn’t it funny that we need a day, one day of the year to celebrate giving thanks? Perhaps it would be better and certainly healthier to give thanks every day. What if, even on our worst days,Continue reading “Be Thankful”
Food for Thought
Here’s some food for thought on this Tuesday in October. “…the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by his letting us have our way in the end, but by his making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly pray what he taught his disciples to pray: ThyContinue reading “Food for Thought”
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”
