Surprised by Great Love
In these in-between days from Jesus’ resurrection to His ascension, I enjoy reading about the beautiful “surprise” stories that verifies that Jesus really came back to life and moved about to prove it. At first those who witnessed Him alive were startled and then they were elated that their Savior lived. I love the story…
Forty More Days of Easter
HOLD IT! We’re not done yet! I took the bunnies and Easter eggs down from my front door’s vignettes, but the cross still hangs along with Springtime decor’. I am still reminded that there were 40 days before Christ’s ascension. The Easter season (the resurrection of our Lord and His time on earth before ascending…
We are Everywhere and We are World Changers
We have been in the Easter season up until today which is notably called “Ascension Thursday”! It has been 40-days since Jesus was raised from the dead and eyewitnesses saw Him showing up to give them His “famous last words”. Acts 1:3 verifies it: “After His suffering, He presented Himself to them and gave many…
Don’t Give Up Too Soon
“Don’t give up, on the brink of a miracle!Don’t give in, God is still on the throne!Don’t give up, on the brink of a miracle!Don’t give in, remember you’re not alone!” That was a song we sang as a confession of believing “NOTHING – no-thing – is impossible with God!” On a personal note…..I can’t…
Thirsty Thursday — Holy Thursday
Thirsty Thursday is what they call our social every Thursday night where I live. We are offered many beverages of choice to quench our thirst along with snacks to satisfy our hunger. Jesus had our thirst and hunger in mind on this Holy Thursday. Once upon a time, on social media, we would classify Thursdays…
Are We Minglers?
A mingler is one who mingles, interacts, associates and mixes with others in a social setting. I’m a mingler – a far departure from the girl and woman I once was. I like to think I take after my big Brother – Jesus, Who was a mingler of gigantic proportions. I found Him that way…
Peace. Be Still.
Troubled in your heart and soul today? Wondering how you can solve this problem or circumstance or make that hard decision? Perhaps, today, it’s time to slow down and let your mind rest and trust in the Peace-Maker! Remember Jesus saying the words “Peace. Be still!” to the winds and the waves? “Then He arose…
Only a Walking Stick will be Needed
See these photos of me with my walking stick? This was at Epiphany Ranch in Rusk, TX where my children are laying the ground-work (literally) for the future location for a retreat center and homes built for restoring people’s lives. This day, we were dedicating the property to God for His use and our commitment…
The Secret Sauce
I missed sharing about the Holy Trinity on Sunday — the day of focus toward gratitude to God for giving us the “Three-in-One”. It boggles my finite mind to consider it. I’ll speak to this wonder after I tell you about another “holy trinity” that I found out about when a guest chef came to…
Let’s Go for a Walk
The Everleigh monthly calendar where I live is full of activities. I pick and choose those that appeal to me. After all, I have my own activities calendar: writing blogs, intimate devotion times, the fitness center, hanging with my children and grands, encouraging and counseling others. Yesterday was different. A new 9:30 am Walking Club…
