Keep Doing Good — Harvest Time’s Up Ahead!
Today’s blog inspiration comes straight from our faithful mentor, the Apostle Paul. His words in Galatians 6:9 still roar across the centuries: “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” There it is — a rally cry for every weary do-gooder who’s…
Soul Rest
A dear friend — a loving wife, sister, mother, and grandmother — was recently diagnosed with cancer. Just weeks before, she was in full mom-mode, helping her daughter prepare for the wedding of her dreams. The photos were pure joy: decorating the venue, fixing every detail, and beaming with love. Then came the diagnosis. Life…
Fainting Goats and Fainting Hearts
Have you ever seen a fainting goat? I have and it alarmed me! But ten seconds later, he was up and at ‘em — cool, calm and collected. One moment, they’re trotting along, minding their business, and the next — BAM! — they stiffen up and topple over like bowling pins. It’s both comical and…
ENOUGH Already!
Ever said these words? “I’ve had it!” “Enough is enough!” “I can’t take it anymore!” “I’ve had ENOUGH!” “ENOUGH already!” ENOUGH (in the context of “had enough”): outraged, tired, sick, weary, disappointed, fed up, up to here, teed off We’ve all been there – to the crushing point of exhaustion. We’ve long stood for an…
Keep Doing Good — Harvest Time Up Ahead!
This blog today is inspired by my DEAR son, Larry, and his new John DEERE tractor. Larry is a do-gooder by nature (the “goods” are beyond numbering for this blog). So, what does God do, but give him the desire of his heart, his tractor. This blog was also inspired by my good friend and…
Enough Already
I write this blog today with dear friends on my heart. One is still in the hospital after months, waiting for a heart transplant. I have a nephew and a cousin who are dealing with the potential loss of their eyesight. And others who are facing major financial issues from the loss of work during…
I Just Want a Gold Star
I was in a bit of a funk yesterday. Even though I’ve succeeded at getting quite a few household things done, as well as served in many ways during this time of quarantine, and posted my daily blog, still I’m not satisfied. As the doors for restaurants, businesses, and even my church are starting to…
Rest for our Weary Souls
I’m here at Children’s Hospital and a young mom with a special-needs child in a stroller along with two kids in tow, one of which has a break or fracture in her arm. I offer to push the stroller for her to the fracture clinic so she can attend to the injured one. She is…
ENOUGH Already!
Ever said these words? “I’ve had it! Enough is enough! I’m sick and tired and I can’t take it anymore! I’ll never be good enough! I’ve had ENOUGH!” ENOUGH already! ENOUGH (in the context of “had enough”): outraged, tired, sick, weary, disappointed, fed up, overwrought, up to here, teed off We’ve all been there –…
