Keep Doing Good — Harvest Time’s Up Ahead!
Today’s blog inspiration comes straight from our faithful mentor, the Apostle Paul. His words in Galatians 6:9 still roar across the centuries: “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” There it is — a rally cry for every weary do-gooder who’s…
Oh, Yes, My Dear – You ARE a Star!
I can’t help but get excited when I read these powerful words in Genesis 15:6: “Abram believed the LORD, and He credited it to him as righteousness.” And Paul the Apostle echoes this in Galatians 3:6,9: “So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” Those words pack a…
You Just Stand
I wanted to be a nurse, so at age 14, I was a volunteer Candy Striper at a Dallas hospital. The unique title went with the candy cane, red & white-striped pinafores that we wore. I took flowers and mail to patients, refilled their water jugs, and other incidental duties. Those nursing plans were dashed…
Stand Firm or Persevere?
Which is it, God? Do you want me to just stand firm for what I am believing for OR do I persevere in finding the answer? One seems to be “unmovable” and the other seems to be “keep moving”. Of all the little decorative items I gave away or sold when I moved to Austin,…
Oh, Yes, My Dear – You ARE a Star!
At my weekly Bible study group, we were discussing the famous words: “Abram believed the LORD, and He credited it to him as righteousness.” (Genesis 15:6) And then Paul the Apostle added “So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” (Galatians 3:6,9) Those words pack a punch. Abraham…

Day 309 of Photo Inspirations — You Are Loved…..Don’t Give Up Some things just don’t change…..but wouldn’t it be great if they did? The first two kids, Cain and Abel, birthed from the first two parents, couldn’t get along. In fact their sibling rivalry led to the death of Abel. Fast forward to Jacob, the…
Great Expectations
The word, HOPE, means “the exciting expectation that something GOOD is about to happen”. Charles Dickens is well known for his book, “Great Expectations”. With GREAT EXPECTATION I look forward to each day being one that is blessed and joy-filled. I’m experiencing that on this beautiful cruise I’m on. Believe me — it took work…
Don’t Give Up!
This precious, quiet, unassuming, yet amazingly talented woman is representative of what God does when it seems all hope is gone. A couple of years ago, her husband of 40+ years passed away after a long battle of cancer. As if that weren’t enough to cause her to go the way of depression, sadness, mourning…
At the End of Your Rope?
Do you feel like you’re at “the end of your rope”, and are about ready to give up? We’ve all had those times when we felt like we’ve run out of options — can’t find a job, money has run out, being a student with a failing grade, a marriage or an illness that seems…
Nurse Donna On Duty 24/7
At age 14, I was a Candy Striper at a hospital in Dallas. The unique job title represented the candy cane look of the red and white-striped pinafores we wore. Back in those days, I aspired to one day being a nurse, so, like other teenage girls, we volunteered to assist the nurses at the…
