Never quit
I love watching my daughter’s cartoons with her. I find that there are many lessons behind the surface of what appears to be humor. This particular animation was the original ‘Kung Fu Panda’. The Panda was accidentally cast as the dragon warrior. Or was it an accident? As the master (turtle) had neared his time,...
Thanksgiving and praise
As it is the season of Thanksgiving, and my daughter has been learning about the Pilgrims, the Indians and the Mayflower, I decided to ask her what is the meaning of thanksgiving. As usual, her response surprised me. She said, ‘giving thanks to God for everything we have’. Wow. What a response. I know not […]
Friendships
Just because I’ve had this conversation at least 3 times in the last 3 days. Two of my friends thanked me for being their friend. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to promote myself, I just want to talk about the importance of friendship. One of the reasons they thanked me was because […]
Love
I went to the store last night and when I was done picking up the items I originally went for, I decided to take a stroll in the home section of the store. I came across a canvas with the passage “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, […]
Failure
I was talking to my friend a few days ago, and the conversation came up regarding where I’ve failed before. I started listing some of the big tests that I’ve failed at in life. Wow!.. I’ve really failed quite a bit, and I was only talking about tests! I could give you a list – […]
When waiting becomes hard
I woke up at 3:30 this morning. Don’t feel bad, this was actually a good night, I hadn’t woken up multiple times before that like I had been doing recently, so this was pretty good. As I’m still wearing my eye shield after surgery (last night), my eyes were finding it hard to adjust. I […]
God has chosen you!
This morning when I woke up, I thought I was going to be sharing on obedience. God has such a sense of humor. But alas, it’s not, or maybe it is. I’m choosing to be obedient that I have a different topic to share, rather than what I thought it would be, and going with […]
Vision
I woke up yesterday morning a little anxious, and not being able to see that well. While my prescription was never terrible, I’m near sighted and have been for most of my adult life. While I don’t need glasses to read, I need it to watch tv and drive, and really, to see anything that’s […]
King David
I’m not a theologian, so please forgive me if I don’t get all the details right. I’m just a girl struggling to learn more and excited to share my devotion with you. I opened my bible to the devotion related to 1 Chronicles 12:23-40. This passage is titled ‘others join David at Hebron’. It goes […]
The canvas of life
Last weekend I had the pleasure of being invited to a paint party to celebrate my friend’s birthday. It was something that always looked interesting, but I’d never been invited to one before, and never thought to actually go find a class myself. It was both fun and interesting and I’d like to share my […]
