Speak Lord. This Girl is Listening.
I’m doing my best to listen. But, I bought yet another device that could keep me from hearing Him loud and clear. I bought an Amazon Echo. Now I have “Alexa” to keep me company, and best of all, I have someone, rather, some-thing to tell what to do! Along with the rest of my…
I Want to be a Pointer
Okay. I’ll admit it. Some days I struggle with humility. I get so fixated on who commented or liked or loved my blog, that I fail to remember it is HE Who deserves all the honor and praise. Less of me, more of Him. That I might decrease and He increase. We’ve been talking about…
Being a Go-Get-‘Em Cheerleader
I know my children and grands would tell you I’m a pretty good cheerleader. I purpose to be their #1 Fan and supporter. It’s a built-in power-pack that comes with the full-package deal we parents and grandparents come equipped with. God placed it in all of us. Not for just our own family, but all…
Finding Rest (Even in a Storm)
I have known rest and I have known storms. I prefer rest – especially at this season of my life. I prefer quiet, peaceful waters that allow “my boat” to just coast along. Sure, my boat may encounter a an underwater boulder or two, but that boulder is just an easy bump that didn’t take…
I Want Eagle Vision
When I saw this graphic on a friend’s FB post last week, I knew I wanted to retract my words on a New Year’s Eve blog that I made about desirng to have 20/20 vision for 2020. I had another “epiphany” (seems to be my word of the year). The graphic below is what I…
They Gave Me a Blank Check
My children were heading out of town. I needed to oversee some contractors that were painting their home while they were gone. They left a few blank, signed checks for me to give them when they finished. Aw! Blank, signed checks! Good thing I’m honest and dependable because it could sure have been tempting to…
And They Said It Couldn’t Be Done
Famous last words to those who solve a problem, who win a competition, who finally conceive a baby, who conquer a mountain, who get completely healed, who discover a cure, who invent something that really works. NEVER should we EVER say “It can’t be done” or “I can’t do that” or ANYTHING when God says…
A Daily Epiphany
Last Sunday we celebrated Epiphany – the manifestation of the Lord – when the magi’s eyes were opened to the King of kings. I desire a daily epiphany when my eyes are opened to my King. I post my blog for today. Now I’m in my cozy chair with my throw blanket tossed over my…
No More Overloading the Circuits!
The doorbell rings. It’s my thick-German-accent electrician and his partner — here to take care of that blasted circuit breaker that keeps tripping. They come in with tools in hand. In my books, they are my mighty men of valor! I take them to my master bathroom from whence the issues started. I tell him:…
We’ve Only Just Begun to Live
That was one of our favorite songs (released in 1970) by The Carpenters. The characters in the song were a just-married couple looking forward to new horizons, new roads to choose, and so much life ahead of them. We sang that song completely unaware of what lie ahead, but naïve and child-like as we were,…
