Beautiful gardens have always captured my attention. There is something peaceful in shaded gardens of trees and flower lined paths where a person can find renewal from the hustle and bustle of the world. Jesus and his followers regularly got away to the Mount of Olives. It is there we enter the Garden of Gethsemane. … Continue reading A Garden of Grief (Day 45)
Oh! How beautiful is He! (Day 44)
I love to be outside when the temperature is agreeable. Today, I spent most of the morning working in flower beds and cleaning pollen from my front porch. A nice breeze blew gently, and it felt pleasant … until noon. But while outside, I began thinking of Jesus and His disciples in the Garden late … Continue reading Oh! How beautiful is He! (Day 44)
I AM HE! (Day 43)
God is for us! Scripture repeatedly affirms, God is for us. He desires that no one should parish but all to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, His Son (2 Peter 3:9). As a result, Jesus’ earthly ministry fulfills the Father’s will not wasting one moment on the unessential. Jesus stayed in tune … Continue reading I AM HE! (Day 43)
Humble King & Messiah (Day 42)
As I stretch to make it through this last week of my “no dairy, no sugar” fast, I remembered a book written by my pastor. Pulling it from the shelves, I eagerly began digesting the scenes described in detail of my Savior’s Last Week. Join me each day recalling what He experienced. Travel back … Continue reading Humble King & Messiah (Day 42)
“Lord, open our eyes that we may see” (Day 36)
The news hit me like a ton of bricks! How could anything good come from it? But just as soon as my thoughts started to go down the wrong road of “what if’s,” I immediately turned to the Lord asking for spiritual wisdom, and to give me eyes to see just as Elisha prayed for … Continue reading “Lord, open our eyes that we may see” (Day 36)
A Sweet Finale (Day 31)
This month of “no dairy, no sugar” has been super! and I would say, my best “fast” yet! While my writing daily is completed, my restrictions for my fast will continue until Easter, April 17. That Sunday will be a huge celebration of worshipping our resurrected Lord and breaking my fast with cheesecake (requested by … Continue reading A Sweet Finale (Day 31)
Sheer Delight (Day 30)
The desire is so strong! “Father, what can I put into my mouth to bring me joy?” Reading the Scriptures and picturing sitting at His feet, my first inclination is instant gratification for the craving of my taste buds: a creamy latte, a yummy scone, a hot cinnamon roll right out of the oven; on … Continue reading Sheer Delight (Day 30)
An Attitude for Gratitude
“Thank you, Gram!” I cannot tell you how those 3 words melt my heart! But they surely do! A face lighting and heartwarming experience like none other for a grandmother. So just think how much our Creator loves to hear gratitude dispatched from our lips. Suppose someone had to tell by your face if you … Continue reading An Attitude for Gratitude
IS ABLE (Day 28)
So much to do, so little time! I am determined to do what is truly essential. Striving not to get caught up in that which is not productive for the Kingdom of God. Not wanting to waste my energy and time on the things that do not bring Him the greatest glory! Now to him … Continue reading IS ABLE (Day 28)
Yet Not I but Through Christ in Me (Day 27)
The Shepherd's Church Another Sunday, another day worshipping with like-minded believers in Jesus! Since joining our church body in 2017, the Lord has blessed my heart with amazing-led worship and expository preaching. Today was another glorious, Christ-centered representation of what to expect when we are gathered around the throne of God! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! … Continue reading Yet Not I but Through Christ in Me (Day 27)
