My Fear Doesn’t Stand a Chance When I Stand in Your Love
Early this morning, I was hearing (in my head) Josh Baldwin’s song: “Stand in Your Love”. I thought about the lyrics when I read this friend’s post so I commented: “I know why I was thinking about this song this morning before I read your post. Sweet girl! You are such a valiant warrior and…
Do You Recognize a Holy Moment?
It’s the first Sunday of the month and I am a Greeter at my church. This particular Sunday I can’t stay for my full shift because I need to leave about ten minutes early for a meeting. I ask my fellow greeter who is posted at a less-traffic door if she’d switch with me today…
What is Your Sweet Spot?
“I would appreciate any positive prayers or scripture verses you could send my way.” Those were the words that I saw on a friend’s Facebook post yesterday. This sweet gal has had some very rough times, so I was quick to give her a couple of my favorite scriptures and a prayer, but when I…
The Best TREAT Ever – Happy 96th Birthday, Mom!
Molly and David fell in love, were happily married, and then on October 31st, 1922 God gave this happy couple a precious gift from heaven. It wasn’t a pumpkin or a ghost or a goblin, or any other TRICK. They must have been very, very good because He gave them a very special TREAT! And…
How Do You Fight Your Battles?
How Do You Fight Your Battles? Do you bear any bruises and scars from battles that you may have been in lately– maybe in the political arena or even in your home or workplace? On Sunday, I encountered a very well trained cashier at a store who was courteous, friendly, and even gave me a…
What Are You Passionate About?
After our Walk for Life yesterday morning, I made it home in time to hear the announcement that Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed as Supreme Court Justice. I thought about the passion that had been displayed during this process by the opposing sides, the media, the senators, the activists that pounded their way into the chambers;…
I’m Praying for You!
Someone said to me “Don’t bother praying for me because prayers don’t work!” Oh my. He had no idea about the lioness that was about to become unleashed!!! I told him my story. “To the contrary, prayers do work. I am a widow and were it not for my prayers and the prayers of others,…
Take the Leap of Faith
Hanging with my sweet grandson always leads to talking about animals — after all, he has 32 animals of his own. Seems we integrate some kind of animal story into just about every conversation. After all, I’ve dubbed him the “animal whisperer” because all of those critters seem to calm in his presence. I heard…
No Prayer is too Small
Yesterday was a day of hearing “Please pray for me.” and “Please pray for her and her family.” and “Please pray I do well on my test” and “Will you please agree with me in prayer for….” Hearing “Please pray” so many times in one day certainly put the onus on me TO PRAY. I…
It Only Takes a Spark to Get a Memory Going
Over the last few days, I’ve been attracted to watching some PGA golf (certainly not my usual choice for TV-watching). Maybe it was because my son was playing in a golf tournament this weekend. When I turned on the TV yesterday afternoon and the women’s 2017 Solheim Cup was on, my mind was flooded with…
