This is the first post in a series on the relationship between mother-in-laws and their daughter-in-laws as shown through the bible. While some stopping by might not have the MIL/DIL relationship as described biblically, I encourage you in faith to claim these relationships as God describes and one reach at
By Deborah McCarragher – Godly provision often comes in unique ways, from odd sources and always at just the right time. Are you yearning for something from God just now? Perhaps you’re waiting for an answer to prayer… a job, a marriage, a prodigal? You might be hoping for a
Hearing the word relationship, most of us think family, loved one, friend. And if we have healthy relationships with those folks, we get a warm fuzzy feeling. We know there is warmth and support behind us as we make our way in the world. But another important word about relationships
Many months ago my husband Jack and I announced: “It’s time for a Family Reunion!” It makes we wonder if some of our children secretly shuddered when they heard that we wanted everyone to come home for 3 days of blended bliss. Let’s be realistic, it’s not always easy blending
A few days ago I asked God to talk to me – he immediately gave me a picture of someone carrying a cross and the verse “And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple” Luke 14:27. So I sketched down the picture and
As I drink my morning coffee, I chuckle as I recall my teen years. How many remember the fad in the 60’s of putting Vaseline on your eyelashes? We thought it would condition the lashes and make them shine! So of course I felt I had better try it. To
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful
In the daily course of our lives disagreements are bound to arise and oftentimes they can erupt into violent arguments where our mouths become lethal weapons, injuring or even destroying a relationship. You can choose to be reactive or proactive. If you choose to be reactive, you will most likely
By Nancie Carmichael – Lately I’ve been captivated by the lives and writings of the early saints. Three of them, especially, are speaking to me. I say “speaking to me” in that I am reading their writings, their biographies and I’m surprised as well as reassured to see that their
By Deb DeArmond – Life often serves us opportunities to test our level of courage. But the heroism required for running into a burning building or jumping into frigid waters to rescue a drowning man is not what I’m talking about here. No, I’m thinking of something much more overwhelming.
By Rita Schulte – Why are we all so freaked out about the mistakes, failures, and mess-ups in our lives? If we read the Bible, most of the characters in every story were a hot mess. Look at David; he was a murderer, adulterer and a liar. Peter was a
By CarolMarie Smith – “Give me just one drink”, I pleaded with my little sister who had patiently nursed her soda pop as we rode down the road. As children, we never had these “soft drinks” in our home, (we were a kool-aid family) and the only time we had
By Peggy W. Lester – I kept having a strong sense in my spirit to purchase a pair of magnifying glasses for myself to carry on this mission trip in August of 2006. Now, I do wear prescription glasses and if something were to happen to them I would not
By Olga Hermans – There are seven types of prayer in the Bible, which we should be exercising on a regular basis. They are simple and can be prayed anywhere at any time; especially when they come from a believing heart. You see, most people use the same kind of
By Deborah H. Bateman – What does passion mean to you? Passion to me is a strong desire for something. Passion is a longing in your heart, soul, and body for something or someone. What are you passionate about? What drives you? What are you zealous for? What would you
Husbands are fragile people. We have sensitive egos. We may come across as strong and indifferent, but that’s just presentation. We’re actually quite needy. I wonder if wives know this. Do you know this? I wonder if wives are aware how much their husbands need them. Read on. I’m going
By Kathi Casey, ERYT, CPI – When I looked up what’s going on in August in order to write a relevant column for all of us over 40 women who truly want to live long and healthy lives, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the first week of August
All sunny skies would be too bright, All morning hours mean too much light, All laughing days too gay a strain; There must be clouds, and night, and rain, And shut-in days, to make us see The beauty of life’s tapestry. Today I’m pausing to remember my best friend who
Yesterday morning, Gracie went to join Abbie and Dave. Gracie was much older than Abbie and, frankly, it surprised me when Abbie went first. Gracie had been diagnosed with a possible tumor in her nasal cavity but, with meds, she seemed to be enjoying life. Over the weekend, she seemed
I walked out to the garden this morning, noticing from a distance the drooping flowers and tomato plants. I wasn’t feeling too well yesterday (this sinus-ear-upper respiratory thing still hangs on) so I didn’t make it out to the back forty with the watering hose. In normal years that would
