Consider the Lilies
I’ve never cared much for flowers. They smell like a funeral home, they are hard to keep alive, and they are pretty expensive. I’ve never had a favorite flower or wanted my husband to gift them to me or plant them in our yard. It’s not that I didn’t like them, but I...
Who Do You See?
When we see as God sees, we are in a position to love as He loves. Lord Jesus, help me to see beyond the circumstances to the heart. Move me to love deeply and show me how I can help.
Changes
"Your position has been eliminated." The words rang in my ear, and to be honest, I am not sure how much I heard after that. Thoughts flooding my brain: What are we going to do now? Like most, we depend on my employment. It takes two incomes to survive. Layoffs seem to...
Rejoice
Rejoice in the LORD always, I will say it again: Rejoice! Philippians 4:4 Being a child of the '80s generation, I fondly remember many things about my childhood. I remember growing up in a church that had an AWANA program and We Sing Bible songs. I can almost taste...
The Desert Experience

Hearts of Love
When an old dog needs to learn new tricks, the puppies sometimes lead the way. At 18 months old, my youngest granddaughter Callie was curious when the smallest crumb left on the kitchen floor became a tasty treat or a play toy. She often imitated barks from her dogs,...
Live in the Moments
I just watched the sweetest "love story" movie! One of the last lines said, "In the moments of life, good and bad, just live life!" Very few days in this life are utopian days, and many days are ordinary days. Then, there can be very hard days that knock the breath...
DISTRACTIONS
Every year, my church calls a 21-day Daniel Fast. During this time of concentration and seeking God, I try to reflect on the things that God wants me to work on in my life. It's amazing what God will show you about yourself. On the 12th day of the fast, God began to...
Still: The Art of Living in Awe
Can you imagine what it was like walking in the Garden of Eden every day, with the Creator of it all – with God?! I love being in nature and observing the majesty of God’s creation. It brings me to tears and swells my heart to overflowing joy. I find myself saying,...
BATTLEGROUND
