Trusty Steed — Trustworthy Men & Women of God
While having my morning devotion yesterday, my eyes became fixed on the painting across my living area from me. I remember when my husband and I purchased that painting decades ago. We bought it because we saw King David (thus, the small bust of David that sits below the painting) and his muscle-bound, trusty steed…
Predictable or Unpredictable
Ever since my grandson, Payton (now 18), was just a little guy he’s loved playing the piano. It started with my husband who could play anything but loved Christian music and jazz. “Little” Payton jumped on the piano bench to plunk out notes while Papa played. The first song Papa taught him was “Chopsticks”. He…
I Keep Trusting the Lord With All My Heart
When I lived in Tulsa and headed up a Life Group in my home, I bought several of these little plates to give to the gals on their birthday. I’d add some yummy treats to the gift, but the words from Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart” was the most important…
Audacious, Unwavering Trust! I Want to Live Like That!
We’ve all been part of coaxing our little one to take that first step “Trust me! I won’t let you fall!” Or that little new swimmer-in-training “Let go of the wall! I’ve got you! Trust me!” Or that high flyer when Daddy says, “Jump! Trust me!” Those walk-of-faith, swim-of-faith and leap-of-faith times mean the child…
Can You See Me Now?
Remember that old Verizon commercial and the guy trying to find good phone reception and kept saying “Can you hear me now?” What about that visual connection and those words, “Can you SEE me now?” Like any parent or grandparent, I love to watch my family excel in their specific talents and abilities. I get…
When You Choose HOPE, Anything is Possible
HOPE, means “the exciting expectation that something GOOD is about to happen”. Yesterday, I knew what that’s about — based on my grandchildren’s GREAT EXPECTATIONS about what last night held for them. When the tickets could first be bought, my grandson, Payton Wallace purchased tickets for his whole family (me and his friend included) to…
Where Oh Where is Donna?
Yesterday, someone I just met said, “So where do you live?” It was the first time I needed to explain this season of my life. So I said, “Well, I fly by the seat of my pants, so wherever I land!” LOL! So, here’s the way I roll. I do my best to trust that…
Temple Tuesday Was Just That
Tuesday of Holy Week could be called “Temple Tuesday,” because in Matthew 21 we read how Jesus spent this day of Holy Week at the temple — teaching and using parables to make his points. He was constantly confronted by religious leaders. They challenged his authority to teach the people, and lamblasted him with unreasonable…
Worry Less; Smile More Often
Worry Less; Smile More Often I’ve posted this photo before, but it is such a powerful reminder of the childlike faith and trust that we all need so much. I just had to share it again for you AND me. Don’t you just love watching a baby sleeping? His/Her adorable little smiles that just indicate…
The Thing Is NOT The Thing
Day 35 of Photo Inspirations — The Thing is NOT The Thing! I saw this photo of an iceberg and it reminded me of the Alaskan Cruise we took several years ago when our ship docked in Juneau and we took the tour to the Mendenhall Glacier. This amazing glacier is 12 miles long, a…
