Meditating on an encouraging scripture….. “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be
Once the wintery mix stopped, it began raining and it’s rained and rained and rained and…it’s still raining. We’ve had a few hours of sunshine in the last couple of weeks but, at the moment, can’t really remember when. Perhaps last week…? A lot of rain isn’t conducive to a
I set out on an adventure today. I ventured into the city in search of vintage goodies. I planned ahead and wore my boots. I emptied my car and prayed God would fill it. I brought a sturdy tote. And a hot cup of tea in a thermal mug. And
Today instead of sipping on my morning tea or coffee, it is an afternoon Sprite with lime in a Washington, DC Mexican restaurant preparing for a flight. It is so exciting to flow in the Spirit to release blessing and call people into their destinies, especially the young adults, I
I was hurrying on the walking path today, muscles aching from meeting my hour long walking goal for the first time yesterday… while trying to beat the rumble of thunder off in the distance. I’d be fortunate to make thirty minutes this morning even if the weather cooperated for I
I have been pondering what to write this week… or perhaps how to write… after reading an inspiring post by Elizabeth Foss on the MotherHeart blog.* Elizabeth wrote about fear and trust and leaving a legacy to her children of overcoming fears of various kinds. When I was very young,
“Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.” Martin Luther One of my very favorite verses is Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (NKJV) I love taking verses apart and finding the definitions
She had a twinkle in her eye and she stood as close to me as possible. Even though she couldn’t speak, we communicated. She loved to hold my hand and in my mind’s eye I can still see her looking up at me. I have a precious picture I treasure
By Lynn Mosher – We live in an older neighborhood. It’s your average-middle-class-built-in-the-’70s-typical-ranch-at-the-end-of-a-quiet-cul-de-sac kind of house. The houses sit fairly close together, so our side-door window and kitchen window overlook our driveway and the neighbor’s side and back yards. Standing as a wall of separation along the edge of the
By Heidi McLaughlin – Giorgio perfume was the craze of the mid eighties. The perfume manufacturer was savvy in its marketing techniques and only produced small quantities at a time. This kept the consumer wanting, fantasizing, yearning and waiting. I was one of them crazed consumers. Every time I caught
By Amy Layne Litzelman – “You are My witnesses, says the Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know Me, believe Me and remain steadfast to Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.” – (Isaiah
By Lynn Baber – Do you ever get distracted? Is multi-tasking more difficult than it used to be? I used to believe there was some limitation on what could distract me. Unfortunately, I have discovered that my little mind can be far more creative than I ever thought possible. Have
By Deb DeArmond – While my parents made a comfortable living, they were not beyond middle class. College for my brother required an annual visit to the banker to borrow for the academic year, paying it off in July and borrowing again in August. They made sure I had absolutely
By Rita Schulte – Have you ever felt lost and alone? Ever asked yourself where God is during those dark nights of the soul? It seems like the universal problem we face with God doesn’t it? We don’t feel his presence as we face the battles of life, so we
One weekend I was enjoying my grandchildren and marveling at how God is answering prayer in their lives. One of them said to me; “Meme, God has been giving me signs all along, I just didn’t recognize them”! One of the ways he was able to see what God was
In the kitchen, there has been a handful of apple mint steeping in boiling water in my favorite “everyday” teapot. The red teakettle and the yellow teapot and the slightly dried apple mint leaves from my garden (dried only because they were sitting for two days awaiting their turn at
Postmaster Bob, in charge of undeliverable mail, received an envelope addressed to “God,” written in very shaky penmanship. Bob curiously opened the letter and read: “Dear God, its Ruth. As I’m sure you know I’m 84 years old and I recently lost my purse and any money that I had.
“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 Have you ever watched dairy cows grazing in a field? Just picture it – a sunny day, buttercups
I just came back from my wonderful college reunion. I had such a special time reconnecting with beloved friends. There was non-stop laughter, and we all had the sense that not much time had elapsed (although lots of time has elapsed!) since we were all there together. As we wandered through the
