Selective Hearing Comes in Handy
My iPhone must have selective hearing. I’ll be audibly texting a message and the message comes out not anything like I said. My text message to my sister was supposed to start out “Hi sweet sis!” But, it sent “Hi, sweet the ass.” She replied “This is too funny. Read your text 4th word.” I…
Welcome to my SANCTUARY!
While having my morning devotion time, I looked at the sign on my fireplace hearth, SANCTUARY, that I see every day. But yesterday it resonated with me more than ever. I looked at the back of it to see when it was that my friend gave it to me. It is dated October 10, 2010.…
In Only You May My Soul Be SATISFIED
Satisfaction: fulfillment, gratification, contentment, comfort Remember that old Rolling Stones song: “I can’t get no satisfaction”? What is it that causes us to be completely satisfied? A great meal, a good night’s sleep, a day’s good wages for a day’s good work, receiving a pat on the back for a job well done, having a…
Be a REFLECTION of What You’d Like to Be
REFLECTION: an image that is seen in a mirror or on a shiny surface; something that shows the effect, existence, or character of something or someone. I love how God gives us “thumbs up” on decisions we make. I typed up this blog early yesterday morning before I left for an event so it would…
Forward…..MARCH!
In honor of this month of MARCH, and in honor of our service men and women who, on our behalf, are MARCHING to the beat of the love of their country, my word for today is MARCH. It’s MARCH 4th — the only day of the year that can also be a sentence — MARCH…
Our WORDS Matter
If you follow my blog or my Facebook posts you know that I’ve determined to have a “word of the day” every day this year. Having that focus has sure helped me with my subject matter. God highlights a word to me and then I run with it. My WORD today is WORD: a single,…
GRACE…..so AMAZING!!
GRACE is a word I’ve heard all my life because I heard my sweet Mom singing “Amazing Grace” throughout our home and I heard it sung worldwide as an anthem of praise. Why would that old song still be relevant, especially when there are so many wonderful songs of praise that are written and sung…
Commandments or Keys to a Blessed Life?
My word for today is COMMANDMENT: an authoritative command or order; mandate; precept. What was God thinking? Ten Commandments to live by? After all, we have just one life to live and shouldn’t we live it with no restrictions and no holds barred? Weren’t they just suggestions? Those questions almost seem sacrilegious, don’t they? By…
Love Means Saying “I’m Sorry”!
My word for today is: APOLOGIZE – to express regret for something one has done wrong; saying “sorry”, asking for forgiveness; asking for pardon Today is the last day of February, the month I deemed early on as the LOVE month. What a better way to end it than with an appeal for us to…
Forgiveness is Unlocking the Door to Freedom
Forgiveness is Unlocking the Door to Freedom FORGIVENESS: to wipe the slate clean, to pardon, to cancel a debt. When we wrong someone, we seek his or her forgiveness for the relationship to be restored. Forgiveness isn’t granted because a person deserves to be forgiven. Instead, it is an act of love, mercy, and grace.…
