Lean on ME

Yesterday, I posted about getting ourselves off our minds, and to understand why God placed us here — at this time and this place. What if He has us here for a bigger-than-life purpose — to be here as His messengers and His hands and heart extended to others? A year ago, this week, devastating…

No Man is an Island

English poet John Donne penned the words: “No man is an island”, which paved the way for this beautiful song: “No man is an island, No man stands alone. Each man’s joy is joy to me. Each man’s grief is my own. We need one another, so I will defend Each man as my brother,…

At the End of Your Rope?

Do you feel like you’re at “the end of your rope”, and are about ready to give up? We’ve all had those times when we felt like we’ve run out of options — can’t find a job, money has run out, being a student with a failing grade, a marriage or an illness that seems…

Peace, Sweet Peace — Priceless

It is possible to have peace when storms are raging around us. I know, because I’ve experienced that peace. When “they” say “no more hope”, there’s the temptation to retreat, and to run for the storm shelter. We were no storm chasers, but we did know how to outwit the storm. This is the day…

His Sheep Listen to His Voice

Funny cartoon — but, the message is clear and VERY real to our lives. Jesus said, “My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” (John 10:27) . Wonder if He had in mind how difficult “listening for His voice” would be in 2014? And, more than ever, we really need…

WE WIN!!!

I’m so thankful to be on the winning team! Life, with its ups and downs, is still just temporary — this place is NOT home. We’re simply on a journey to get home, and along the way, we have to fight some battles and conquer some wars…….and I’m so grateful to know — come what…

You’re the Apple of His Eye

“If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If God had a wallet, your photo would be in it.He sends you flowers in the Spring, and a sunrise each morning.You’re the apple of His eye and the delight of His heart.”-Max Lucado I’d say that makes you and me quite special. To know…

Reach Out and Touch Someone

We all know the power of a caring touch. The doctor who treated us, the teacher that dried our tears, the hand holding ours at a funeral, the hand of our sweetheart reaching out to hold ours, or a handshake of welcome at an event?Shouldn’t we be reaching out touching others also? Many of us…

Cherish the Moments

A few years ago, I received my daily “check-in” call from Staci while she was picking up Payton and Alexia from school. In the background, I heard Alexia say, “Payton, that’s my side!” Payton responded, “It’s my turn to sit on that side!” Then Alexia, “Mommy, Payton pushed me!” Then Payton, “She pushed me first!” Before…
