HOPE is Great Expectation
My husband described HOPE as “Something good is about to happen to you!” He/We never gave up hope….even until his last breath, we stood by “Nothing is impossible with God so we will continue to HOPE that something good is about to happen.” How beautiful to live with expectancy instead of living in hopelessness. Even…
The Butterflies are Dancing — Are You?
A couple of weeks ago, a group of us did the Walk for Life and when we were gathering our belongings to get to registration and the start line, someone said, “Donna, look at the butterfly on your car!” I quickly took this photo because I knew there would be an upcoming post from this…
THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!!
Last Sunday was “Ascension Sunday” – the day of remembrance of when after Jesus had been raised from the dead and then He was seen venturing in and out of places to assure His believers that, INDEED, He was risen. On this day, He gave parting words to His disciples before He ascended to heaven.…
How About a Life Changing Walk With Jesus?
Life-Changing: Having an effect that is strong enough to change someone’s life; having a powerful effect; compelling, game changer, unconquerable I’ve loved seeing the Easter photos of families enjoying their Easter celebrations – their new Easter clothes, dinners and egg hunts. It was hilarious watching my 16 and 17 year old grands hunting for eggs…
Passion Week — Holy Monday
At this time in March, last year, I was inquiring about a Holy Lands trip. The “inquiring” became a PASSIONATE “YES, I’m going!” and soon I made my full payment for the trip. That full payment changed my life forever. I was THERE where my Lord walked, taught, healed and most importantly became my Savior.…
Clean Up Time — Getting Out the LINT Roller!
Clean Up Time — Getting Out the LINT Roller! I, accidentally, threw a towel into my wash with my black slacks. Oops! Lint – those little fibers from that towel got all over those pants. I proceeded to pull out my trusty, sticky lint remover roller and I got all those tiny balls of lint…
The Via Dolorosa & The Holy Sepulchre
I had a very different kind of excitement about yesterday’s pilgrimage. We all dressed in black to express our respect for the holiness of what we were about to experience. If we were representing the resurrection of our Lord, I’m sure we would have been in the brightest of colors. Think about how we dress…
Oh, What a Beautiful Morning, Oh What a Beautiful Day!
Oh, What a Beautiful Morning, Oh What a Beautiful Day! Joy, Hope, Peace, Comfort, Life Everlasting Came This Morning! Jesus’ tomb wasn’t for the dead. It was a birthing roomfor new life. That tomb became a Delivery Room. The Apostle Peter said in Acts 2:24 “God raised Jesus up, loosing the PANGS of death, because…
Easter is the Answer to EVERYTHING!
As I was on my morning walk, I saw this sign in one of the neighbors’ front yard. I looked around at other homes, and it occurred to me that there were no other reminders that the Easter season is here. Even at our local stores — Easter décor is pretty slim pickin’s. To think…
Change My Heart, Oh God — Make It Ever New — To Be Like You!
Today (Ash Wednesday) starts the season of Lent. It continues…40 days… through Holy Thursday just before Easter. It’s the time when we begin preparing our hearts and minds for Easter. It’s a time of intentional laser focus on HIM. Often we hear the word “Lent” and we think “lint” — those little fibers that get…
