Peace, Goodness and Mercy in the Storm
I love to share about God’s peace, goodness and mercy that follows us all the days of our lives (Psalm 23:6) but then comes along another storm that rocks and reels our world. Hurricane Ida came in with a vengeance. I was thankful to see my Louisiana friends mark themselves as safe on Facebook. But…
Let’s Get in Victory Formation
I apologize up front. I can’t help myself. I must report again on my early morning daily walks in my community that has many water features. My walks seem to open my heart to a greater appreciation for God and His handiwork – the skies, the wildlife, the people passing by. How can I possibly…
Attend a Funeral for a Wake-Up-Call
Yes! Attend one that is a celebration of life of one who lived to love and serve God and others with all his heart. And, when the last “Amen” is said, you are determined to step it up in your own life. This one packed a punch — songs sung that stirred up the sweetest…
Solid Rock Foundation
Having been in real estate for many years, I know what poor foundations look like in homes. It is a major deterrent to a sale when the home inspector detects foundation problems. The resale value of a home with a failed foundation, even one that has been repaired with a lifetime warranty, will be substantially…
Getting Older Doesn’t Suck
Just living a while longer in the magnitude of the light that shines so brightly from my birthday candles! And, really, thank God, I’m not serious – no cake could support that many! But I am living in the light of God’s goodness and mercy to still be alive and well! I remember working closely…
When You’re a Hugger and an Encourager
That’s me. I come from a family of huggers. These arms were meant to reach out and hug. So, throw me into a world of social distancing, and I’m very uncomfortable. I was amused when someone reacted to my “Are You Vaccinated?” blog with these words: “Jesus would be first in line to get the…
And God Said…..
“Tada! Here’s Donna!” It’s the day when I made my big debut on planet earth. And since I’m still here, I must not be done! The fanfare started last night when the Wuerch clan showed up with the party. When asked where I wanted to go for my birthday, I told them “my place”! And…
Are You Vaccinated?
Several times, recently, I’ve been asked “Are you vaccinated?” It was first asked at our women’s Bible fellowship group and quickly the leader said “We don’t ask that question here. It is a divisive question.” It was her response also when someone asked if they were Catholic or Protestant. I loved it when she replied…
Jesus Loves Me — This I Know
Life happens. Often, it happens because of negative circumstances and people. Your car gets rear-ended by another car moving way too fast. You bumble the opportunity to encourage someone. You fail at having a good attitude at that appointment. You have trouble forgiving someone for THAT thing they forgot to do. Your feelings get hurt…
MY Mercies are New Every Morning
I said “Lord, have mercy!” several times in my blog yesterday. I wish that those words were my words. I mean MY mercies. I read this scripture: “The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies are new every morning.” (Lamentations 3:22-23) I know those words…
