Living in the Light of Eternity
Eternity is on my mind a lot these days as my sis-in-law, and I talk about mom’s upcoming 100th birthday — if she makes it to it! There won’t be a big celebration. Karen, with her 24/7 care of mom has her hands full already, so there won’t be a flurry of activity surrounding the…
Called to be Influencers
We hear that a lot these days. Influencers. And it’s forever true. We are in the business of influencing. It starts in our homes, our jobs, our casual friendships, our social media posts, the groups we are a part of and on and on. And influencing goes two ways – either positively or negatively. I…
Rainbow in the Rain & the Drought
“There Shall Be Showers of Blessing” — an old song to write, sing and shout about! There shall be showers of blessing:This is the promise of love;There shall be seasons refreshing,Sent from the Savior above.Chorus:Showers of blessing.Showers of blessing we need;Mercy-drops round us are falling.But, for the showers we plead! I was seriously singing that…
You Are Now Entering Your Mission Field
My two youngest grandsons are in Gitega, Burundi Africa with the Mission SOS team for nine days. Each day they go out in teams to share the love and good news of Jesus, and invite people to a nightly festival where the Gospel is shared and people are being healed, delivered, and baptized. I know…
The Green-Eyed Monster
Do you ever think…..”She is so holy; he is so dedicated to prayer; they are always in such a good mood; they are so filled with God’s Spirit that they light up a room, etc.” I’ll admit that I think those thoughts – especially when a gal shared her testimony this week at our prayer…
The Keys to a Happy, Lifelong Marriage
esterday, my blog spoke of the everlasting love of God and the work-out it takes for an everlasting marriage. I know both well. When I wrote that blog, I remembered a blog I posted years ago that received more likes and comments than any I had received before. That means it must have been needed…
I Will — With All My Heart
Many years ago, I stood at an altar as Rev. Herbert Wuerch said these words: “Will you love him all the days of your life?” That was a serious question and as a young bride, I had no idea the journey that would be ahead. I would be replying to not just my soon-to-be father-in-law…
Our Non-Negotiables
Family rules. This is a sign I had made for my “Wuerch” family. When I see it in their home, it reminds me of what family values should look like. Those should be the non-negotiables in our lives. And I’m not just talking about our own family, but it includes our “God” family. He’s our…
Peace, Wonderful Peace
I personally need this blog today. I’m sitting front and center! Maybe you can use it too! We all long for deep and real peace, but where is it when it seems anything, but peace is all around us? I’ve heard it said: “There will never be peace until we’re all laid to rest.” Those…
A Big Drink of Water
At any given time, you’ll see me with my “must-have” 30 oz. Yeti mug filled with water. After a couple of physical issues and how they could have been averted by drinking more water, I know the benefits of drinking water. Nutritionists say we should drink half our body weight in ounces every day. So,…
