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
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
“But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.” Psalm 3:3 David wrote these words when his own son, Absalom, was going after him. Can you imagine that? A son, a family member, someone closer than anyone – going after
This poignant story of two Kurdish children, ages three and twelve, survivors of the 1988 massacre at Halabja, is fictional but based on fact, recounting the genocide perpetrated by Saddam Hussein’s forces when chemical bombs of cyanide, mustard gas and nerve agents were dropped on Kurdistan villages. This short story
Have you ever felt like no one seems to care about you, good or bad? Do you feel lost in a crowd? Like you’re just taking up space and there seems to be no real purpose to it all… REMINDER FROM GOD: Long before I laid down the earth’s foundations,
This morning I am sipping on my Starbucks latte in the airport as I think of you! I am so very thankful that God is my Husband, and He travels with me! It’s a pure and precious love that I am daily amazed that He shares with me. As I
Have you ever sacrificed tomorrow by worrying about it today? When I find myself fretting over tomorrow, or next week or month or year, I remember Joseph. Beginning in Genesis 37, Joseph’s amazing story takes decades to come to fruition. Joseph’s first waiting time is spent being tormented by his step-brothers.
By Laurie L. Webb – Ordinary…you know – common, unexceptional – one might even say boring! The question is “can God use ordinary?” Well, let’s ask David, Joseph, and Gideon. All pretty ordinary individuals. David’s Dad didn’t even take him along when Samuel asked for Jesse’s sons so that one
I love all the new oldie stations we have now. They play tons of old TV shows. I mentioned before that I love old westerns and one of the old TV series I used to watch was Wagon Train. In search of a better life, pioneers joined a wagon train
There have been a lot of references to lions in my devotions, once again. The most thought provoking was from 1 Samuel 17:34: And then came a lion. When King David was just a boy tending his father’s sheep, he fought off many wild animals, including a lion. David saw them as opportunities to
An account, whether true or not, is told in Streams in the Desert of an old, southern deacon who would always end his prayers with, “Lord, prop us up on every leaning side.” When asked why he prayed that way, he answered, “Well, sir, you see, it’s like this…I got
