Day 241- Thankful for underdogs and long shots

When I was growing up, I was taught, somehow or other, to root for the underdog. I don’t know who taught it to me. I don’t remember having a lesson on it; I just learned it. Think about it; David was the underdog against Goliath, but with God on His side, he won anyway! And… Read More Day 241- Thankful for underdogs and long shots

Day 224- Thankful for mats and rugs

My blogging friend, Diana, at Gratitude is an attitude asked me at the beginning of the year if I minded if she would start doing a thankfulness series similar to mine. I didn’t mind at all, so she started a 366 days of thanks, since this is a leap year. The other day she posted… Read More Day 224- Thankful for mats and rugs

Day 157- Thankful God tells His secrets to those who revere Him

“For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, Nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him.” “You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways.” Is. 64:4,5a NASB Wow! I just find it… Read More Day 157- Thankful God tells His secrets to those who revere Him

Day 111 – Thankful I have my own copy of God’s Word

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

Day 88 Thankful for the value and importance of one

Do you ever get discouraged because it seems like you are not important? Truth be told, most people probably feel that way at some time in their life. I’ve been there, too, and still hear that little lying “voice” in the back of my mind once in a while. When I came back from France… Read More Day 88 Thankful for the value and importance of one

Day 55 – Thankful for the Prince of Peace

“The whole earth will acknowledge the Lord and return to him. All the families of the nations will bow down before him.“ Psalm 22:27 NLT Oh, what a blessed promise this is! Jesus, who was prophesied to be the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), came to this earth the first time as a humble baby… Read More Day 55 – Thankful for the Prince of Peace

Reflections of the Real Thing

“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.  Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.”  1 Cor. 13:12 Have you ever seen a baby trying to touch and kiss that baby in the mirror or the… Read More Reflections of the Real Thing

Wisdom from Proverbs #1

“When a man’s ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”  Proverbs 16:7  NASB I’ve read this verse any number of times, and each time I’m comforted by the thought that the LORD rewards with peace those who walk in His ways. This morning as I… Read More Wisdom from Proverbs #1

Love vs. Fear

When I was a child, we used to sing a song that went something like this: “Be careful little eyes what you see, Be careful little eyes what you see, For the Father up above is looking down in love, So be careful little eyes what you see.” That’s what I sang. I sang the… Read More Love vs. Fear

Train trip meditations

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

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

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.

Open Letter to a Loved One – when misunderstandings happen

I’m writing this open letter as if to a sister, it could be a blood sister, an adopted sister, a spiritual sister, excetera. I think many of you can relate, as you also have someone in your life who comes to mind when you read this. Perhaps it is a friend, a spouse, a neighbor,… Read More Open Letter to a Loved One – when misunderstandings happen

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

“In” the LORD

This summer I spent some time reading and pondering over several of the Psalms.  As I was reading Psalm 37, I noticed in verse 7, “Rest (Be still) IN the LORD.“ IN Imagine yourself small and surrounded by His strong, loving arms that He wraps around you. IN In other words, remain IN or intimate… Read More “In” the LORD

More Lessons from Lilly

Our family has adopted an older dog named Lilly. She is 10 years old and has already learned things from other masters that we know nothing about. When we first got her, I tried to get her to roll over; she’ll try anything for a treat! If food is involved, she’s in! So, with some… Read More More Lessons from Lilly… Read More More Lessons from Lilly

What God thinks about Rationalizing

Have you ever found yourself saying something like this: Crumbs don’t have any calories. Hahaha (as you eat them). I know this junk food is bad for me, but doesn’t God want us to enjoy ourselves? One little puff won’t hurt. If I say I’m sorry, they’ll take advantage of me. If I confess that… Read More What God thinks about Rationalizing

Thank You, Lord, that this is the day that You have made. I will rejoice and be glad in it! Lord, You didn’t attach any conditions to these verses.

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? You feel you need to stay away from them as much as possible, just to protect yourself from the negative vibes that they dump on you whenever you’re around… Read More How to Pray for those who have hurt you

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

The Just Shall Live by Faith

Have you ever read Scripture and tried to understand the passage from an opposite angle? Sometimes I like to do that.  I find this to be particularly helpful when I have heard a passage many times, and I really think I understand it. Then I find out that, surprise! There’s something I had missed! (I… Read More The Just Shall Live by Faith

The Lord is my “Chauffeur”?

Not long ago I was chosen to sing the tenor voice in a duet to be performed with the choir at our church. My duet partner and I practiced our parts separately, each with our own CD, for weeks before we arranged to practice together. On the evening that we met to practice, we decided… Read More The Lord is my “Chauffeur”?

Do You Want to See Jesus?

I was reading the story in the gospel accounts recently about the Gerasene demoniac that Jesus healed. Here’s this man who has been in physical and spiritual bondage for quite some time. He is hurting. He is violent. He lives in the graveyard. He spends his days and nights acting insane. “Constantly, night and day,… Read More Do You Want to See Jesus?

Tenth Commandment – Overcoming Discontent

I had no idea that there were so many ways to break the tenth commandment. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.” Exodus 20:17 But after observing the… Read More Tenth Commandment – Overcoming Discontent
