Day 204- Thankful for God’s power

Some people today scoff at even the thought of God. They say, “If He’s so powerful, why doesn’t He do something about this mess?” Actually, this is nothing new.  When Jesus was on this Earth as a man, humans tried to dictate to Him how He should use His power, too. Even His own disciples… Read More Day 204- Thankful for God’s power

Day 196- Thankful for Lessons from H2O

Since my youngest son started studying premed, we have had quite a few random discussions about science. Today he mentioned that hydrogen and oxygen are highly flammable gases, but joined together in a ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom, they make a substance that extinguishes fire. (H2O = water) He explained a… Read More Day 196- Thankful for Lessons from H2O

Day 187- Thankful to find the wonderful God

This came up in my Facebook memories recently. It’s something I wrote and posted there in 2014. I just read a quote from C.S. Lewis in his book, Mere Christianity. “As long as you are proud, you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as… Read More Day 187- Thankful to find the wonderful God

Day 151- Thankful for routine and for new discoveries

A few days ago I ran a few errands that were necessary, like picking up my daughter’s meds at the pharmacy and buying a few groceries. I left the car running when I went into the grocery store, and when I came back out, I got in and sat down in the driver’s seat. My… Read More Day 151- Thankful for routine and for new discoveries

Day 89 – Thankful for those who show God’s light lovingly

Have you ever noticed how much harder it is to see to drive at night when it is raining or snowing? Any lights that are a little too bright hit the moisture and spread out. When I took driver’s education, a long time ago, we learned that you are supposed to dim your bright lights… Read More Day 89 – Thankful for those who show God’s light lovingly

Letter to Jesus – Day 59 of Thanks

Dear Jesus, I was just thinking about how incredible it is that You came to earth as a baby. You, the One who created the world and the universe, how did You fit into that tiny body? And why would You even do that? Lord Jesus, I find it ironic that You created Your own… Read More Letter to Jesus – Day 59 of Thanks

Thankful for the Teacher(s) – Day 49

“He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way.” Psalm 25:9 NASB Notice it says that He teaches the humble His way, as opposed to the proud. Is it because He does not want to teach the proud? Or is it because the proud will not listen? I know, as a… Read More Thankful for the Teacher(s) – Day 49

Who Knows Everything

My oldest daughter recently told me a cute story. Her daughter came home from Sunday School not too long ago and said, “Mom, today we learned that God knows everything.  (Pause) I guess that means that I don’t know everything. But I know a LOT of things!” LOL It’s so cute coming from a 4-year-old.… Read More Who Knows Everything

Life Update, continued

It’s been a wonderful whirlwind of a couple of weeks. Family came to my house from out of town for my son’s graduation. It was so good to see them all again! I went on grandma dates with three of my grandsons. That was fun! Each one of them is such an individual, each one… Read More Life Update, continued

Scripture prayers #4

Have you ever been so sure that God directed you in a certain way and promised you a certain outcome, but then you come up against a crisis of your faith, and suddenly you are so afraid? That is how Jacob was in this passage. He reminds God that God is the one who gave… Read More Scripture prayers #4

Accept one another

Most everybody wants to be accepted.  We do and say things to try to fit in and feel bad about ourselves when we find ourselves being rejected. But when the shoe is on the other foot, it really can be hard to accept other people who are different from ourselves. Yet, what does God have… Read More Accept one another

Scripture prayers #1

Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.

Beauty from praise and joy

The best beauty product cannot be bought. It is an attitude of the heart that shows up on the face. It costs nothing and yet everything, that is, it costs the laying down of self, the surrender of pride to the Lord.… Read More Beauty from praise and joy

Appearances of God to Man – Breakthroughs

I love to read passages of the Bible where God appears to man.  If you haven’t read through the Bible, you may be surprised how many times this happened. Joshua 5 and 6 contains one of these passages. In Joshua 5:13-15 we see that a man is standing before Joshua with his sword drawn. At… Read More Appearances of God to Man – Breakthroughs

Gentle Jesus

Almost a month  ago, before things got super busy, and before I started memorizing the book of John, I started this post on the encouragement found in 2 Samuel 22:36b The NASB just says, “Your help makes me great,” which is already an inspiring thought! A few other translations say, “You stoop down to make… Read More Gentle Jesus

Free to Fly

Lonely crow up in the tree, He’s as high as he can be. He looks around from left to right, And enjoys his view from this great height. One with his branch, he sways to and fro, So very few worries does he know. But suddenly with his watchful eye, Threatening danger he does spy!… Read More Free to Fly

How to Pray for those who have hurt you

Have you ever had someone in your life who hurt you, wounded you deeply with their words and actions, betrayed you, abused you in some way?

Steps toward Love

Have you ever felt like some people are extremely hard to love? I’m guessing most of you can think of at least one person like that (if not, just give it a few years!) Several days ago, I started reading a really good book by Max Lucado called A Love Worth Giving, and already a few… Read More Steps toward Love

Antithesis of Love – 1 Corinthians 13

Do you love anyone? I’m guessing your answer is “yes!” But how well do you love them? If we look at God’s love as the perfect example of how we can love well, we see: “Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not… Read More Antithesis of Love – 1 Corinthians 13

Finding the Gold in Others

Do you know how to get gold out of a gold mine? I don’t know all the technological advances of how it is done today, but the short answer is,    We dig for it.       We go down deep.          We take a light and search carefully and            diligently,             hoping not to… Read More Finding the Gold in Others

What Kind of Love…?

Flippantly I skip up to the foot of a cross. I look up; yeah some guy died for me. flippantly I think, that’s nice, yeah he died for my sins; I believe it and I’m glad. Can we just skirt around the subject now? Or maybe we could teleport from this side to the other?… Read More What Kind of Love…?

Love Beautifies

1 Peter 4:8 says, “Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.” Sometimes I’ve wondered what “love covers a multitude of sins” means. I thought of the snow covering all of the brown deadness in the winter, and covering junk piles, and dead branches on the… Read More Love Beautifies

Having it all together is overrated

I don’t have it all together. There I said it.

Before we leave to go somewhere she… Read More Having it all together is overrated
