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…
Like a Dove
I read Psalm 55:6 “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.” That reading took me back to Frisco, TX and the mama dove who nested above my fireplace vent. When I realized she had made her family’s home there, she already had two eggs. Soon…
Peace is my Governor
Yesterday, I spoke about the “default settings” in electronics. We also have default settings and the ideal ones are having gratitude and the Fruit of the Spirit. A couple of days ago, I walked into a room and a situation that caused me to do an about-face. I was about to react negatively, but instead…
Power-Up, Brain!
My precious mom would say to her doctor “Doc, some mornings I just don’t want to get out of bed!” He replied: “The day you decide to do that, expect to be bedridden very soon!” In essence, he was saying: “If you don’t use it – you’ll lose it!” I’m sure Mom’s doctor’s words were…
Worry Free Guarantee
This blog today may sound like the sequel to my blog from yesterday which was about not letting fear grab hold of us. This blog is icing on the “Do Not Fear” cake. “Don’t worry!” You may be saying “That’s easy for you to say. You’re not facing what I’m facing today.” Perhaps not the…
Peace is my Governor
The governors of our states have certainly had a higher profile since the start of Covid-19. At least that’s my take on it. Though their responsibilities are tremendous anyway, they have had the power to keep us in our homes or not, wearing masks or not, having school at home instead of at school, closing…
Untangling the Knots
When I moved, I had a brilliant idea to hang my necklaces and chains on a couple of hangers with a plastic bag pulled on from the bottom up. Or so I thought it was a brilliant idea. Not so much. I’m still untangling the tangled! And there are many of us whose lives are…
Don’t be a Slouch
These days, with all that’s going on in our personal lives or a family member’s life or in our world, it’s enough to make us feel like we’re carrying the weight of it all on our shoulders. And all that weight causes us to slouch. My mama wouldn’t let me be a “slouch”. I hear…
When All is Said and Done
I’m in Austin visiting my family for several days. I was amused when a friend of theirs visited. She put her hands to her ears when the election came up in conversation. She couldn’t deal with any thought that President Trump could lose the election. I want to shut my eyes and ears too, but…
Lord, Please Give Me PEACE about this PEACE Sign
While being my kids’ dogs’ sitter, I’ve enjoyed the inspirations at their home for my blogs. After I blogged a few days ago about the peace-sign hand on my daughter’s wall where she does her video shows, of all things, when going to look at one of the books under it, I knocked the hand…
