Hello, friends! It’s a new day, day 10 of this new year. God’s mercies are new every morning, so they’re new again today! I wonder how God will redeem yesterday’s failures for His glory? It’s humbling to come face to face with our humanity, with our weaknesses and mistakes. People talk about redeeming themselves, but… Read More New Day #2
I went to see the “After Death” movie today. It was more like a documentary, with interviews and reenactments, but it was very interesting, even intriguing. I definitely recommend you go see it! For those of you with children, it is rated PG-13. There are a couple of accident scenes with blood, a recounting of… Read More After Death Movie
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
Ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted to discover things on my own. When I was a child, I took apart 2 music boxes to see how they worked, and maybe a windup clock as well. If someone tells me something, please take no personal offense that I need to check it out for myself.… Read More Day 111 – Thankful I have my own copy of God’s Word
In June 2018 God blessed me with a new car. I really liked the old car; it fit like a glove, and I was comfortable with it. I wrote about that Here! The tire maintenance light came on longer ago than I’d like to admit, and I put off taking the car in to the… Read More Day 98 – Thankful for new tires and second chances!
My husband and I have been married for 20 years. He has always been a hardworking, faithful husband. I have never heard my husband call his boss and lie in order not to have to go in to work. When he calls in sick, he is really sick! There were a few times when, as… Read More Day 77 – Thankful for a hard-working faithful husband
“This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail, They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:21-23 NASB I love these verses! It’s so comforting to meditate on how faithful our loving God is! His love never runs out! His… Read More Day 37 – Thankful that God’s mercy never ceases
“You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness. That my soul may sing praise to you and not be silent.” Psalm 30:11,12 I find it interesting how the psalmist refers to mourning and gladness as things we are clothed with. It looks to me… Read More Day 33 – Thankful for A Different Sort of Clothing
“…Jesus came into the official’s house, and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder, He said, ‘Leave; for the girl has not died, but is asleep.’ And they began laughing at Him. But when the crowd had been sent out, he entered and took her by the hand, and the girl got… Read More Following Jesus vs. Following the Crowd
Today my daughter and I are on the train, traveling across a lot of flat farm country on our way to visit my sister and her family and my mom and dad, who live with them now. We’ve had some delays, and right now are stopped by a field of corn. We’re going again! Yay!… Read More Train trip meditations
I grew up going to Sunday School and memorizing Bible verses. Perhaps many of you can relate. And when I learned each verse, I understood it with a child’s understanding. As I got older, I made the mistake of thinking that I understood various verses without digging more in depth to see if there was… Read More What is the Beginning of Wisdom?
