Are You a NO Respecter?
As I sat down for my morning devotions yesterday, I read these words of St. Peter from Acts 10:34 “I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER of persons”. RESPECTER: a person whose attitude and behavior is influenced by consideration of another’s rank, power, ethnicity, religion, culture, social class, wealth, etc. A “No RESPECTER” is someone…
Christmas is All About Giving AND Receiving
These photos capture a day of Christmas “love” like none other! I met Susie Jennings in October. Susie is the Founder and President of Operation Care. Susie stepped out in faith and obedience to God when she resigned from her nurse supervisory position at Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas in 2011 to become a full…
Love God and Do Whatever You Want
Love God and Do Whatever You Want I heard that St. Augustine quote on Sunday and I thought “Did I hear that right? Do whatever I want?” How can that be? The answer is shocking at first. It sounds like a license to sin and a way to avoid responsibility. Anything I please? The key…
One Moment Can Change Everything.
I was a “single” teenager (age 17), but in one “I now pronounce you husband and wife” moment, I was a married woman. I was a happily married woman, and in one moment, when my precious husband took his last breath, I became a widow. Now I know how a single moment can change everything.…
Happy Anniversary #51
A few days ago, I was with a group of ladies, and in casual conversation, I asked the gal beside me how long she’d been married. She said “44 long years – some days I think ‘That’s enough, already!’” Then she laughed and I knew she was just kidding, but that didn’t stop me from…
Increase the Love Dosage
This little gal is one of Bryson’s friends. Her shirt inspired me — “Do all things with love!” 1 Corinthians 16:14 “Do everything in love.” Valentine’s Day ended four days ago and I wonder how many are still enjoying the outpouring of love they received on that day. And, what about those who are thrilled…
What’s Your Rhythm?
Rhythm — a strong, regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound. This morning I woke up, looked at the clock and first words out of my mouth were, “Thank you, Lord, for getting my sleep rhythm back to normal.” For me, that is a regular, repeated pattern of at least 6 or 7 hours of…
L-O-V-E Let Our Voices Encourage
Day 19 in this Month of Love: L-O-V-E Let Our Voices EncourageI love encouraging women about their place in God’s great scheme of things. The Bible speaks of older women training the younger women – and that’s not only in age but in spirit. I’m here, Girls, to show you – you do survive!!! How’s…
The Best TREAT Ever
Day 298 of Photo Inspirations — The Best TREAT Ever Once upon a time there was a beautiful lady named Molly who fell in love with a handsome man named David. They were happily married for many years and then on October 31st, God gave this happy couple a precious gift from heaven. It wasn’t…
A True Romance is Going On
Day 269 of Photo Inspirations — A True Romance is Going On So I’ve known romance. My husband was the truest romantic EVER. He loved candlelight, love songs, little “I love you” notes, surprise date locations, slow dancing, surprise gifts, and though I knew I wasn’t the most beautiful girl in the world, he made…
