Peace is my Governor
Yesterday, a sweet new friend I’ve met here in Austin, asked me for the website for my daily blog. Not only do I blog on my Google website, but I also post it here on Facebook: http://livinginthepeacezone.blogspot.com/ I started blogging years ago, back when it would have seemed I had every right in the world…
And That’s The Way It Goes!
My mother-in-law, who has always been known for her wit, called me a couple of nights ago and she was on a roll. Typically, it is just a “check-in” call to see how things are going, but this night she was recalling some stories of her childhood and how she and her brother got into…
What Medicine Do You Take?
If you’re like me, your medicine cabinet has just about everything you need in it for the common cold, headache, cuts, scrapes, bug bites, sunburn, tummy ache, etc. I’ve got aspirins, ointments, sprays, oils, ice packs, heating pads to help conquer the ailments at any given time. Yesterday morning, while getting ready for my day,…
What is PERFECT Peace?
A couple of weeks ago, I awoke with the words “perfect peace” going on in my mind. I’m always quoting Isaiah 26:3 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” I don’t think I’ve ever thought about PERFECT peace before. What is PERFECT peace? I did…
Do You See What I See?
Day 362 of Photo Inspirations — Do You See What I See? Though most of the festivities are over, the joy and peace of Christmas still lingers. I’m still captivated by the flickering lights that are still glowing brightly. I just love the sweet and tender atmosphere of Christmas. But, most of all, what reassurance…
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…
God Wired Us For Thirst
God wired us for thirst – a “low-fluid indicator.” If our fluid level is low, the signals will flare — dry mouth, achy head, weak knees, unclear thinking, even fainting.. If we deprive our bodies of fluid, our bodies will tell us. In the same way, if we deprive our souls of spiritual water, our…
One Man’s Trash is a Raccoon’s Treasure
I live in a new community where five homes are being built to the east and west of me. The good news about being the first to build in a new subdivision is you have your choice of lots (mine backs up to a beautiful pond). The bad news about being the first to build…
Take a Deep Breath, Chill and Relax….God Has Got This!
Day before yesterday, I had the privilege of waiting with a dear friend as her husband was in back surgery by the same Neuro Surgeon and in the same hospital, that my sweetheart was in four years ago. I had a flood of memories as we set there, and I reminisced to my friend about…
Peace, Sweet Peace — Priceless
It is possible to have peace when storms are raging around us. I know, because I’ve experienced that peace. When “they” say “no more hope”, there’s the temptation to retreat, and to run for the storm shelter. We were no storm chasers, but we did know how to outwit the storm. This is the day…
