To Whom Much is Given, Much is Required
Those were the words that came to mind as I contemplated something that had happened and my reaction. I had allowed myself to use my gift of speech to send a fiery message. I can probably say that what I said wasn’t wrong, but it was the attitude and tone that I used that was. […]
Wisdom and Grace
Have you ever had to have a difficult conversation with someone? How do you approach it? Do you say whatever comes to mind, or do you take time to pause and ponder what and how to say? Sometimes I find myself needing to have difficult conversations, that I do not enjoy. I’m learning not to […]
Generous Hearts Pt 2
Last week I shared about the generosity I encountered over the course of the prior week. As I prayed on what to share this morning, waiting for the answer, the Bible app’s verse of the day arrived and says this ‘A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed’ Proverbs 11:25. I can’t […]
Generous Hearts
This week was filled with blessings beyond any that I could have expected. It started out when a friend asked if I’d heard from a mutual friend. I answered in the affirmative. That friend had had some extra groceries and she said God laid it on her heart to share with me. She delivered them […]
Blessings of Obedience
As usual, it’s writing time, with my very tight deadline, and nothing to say. So I do what I normally do, take a deep breath and ask God to tell me what to say. As I was speaking with a praying friend, I even recruited him to pray on my behalf. I read one of […]
Consistent Faithfulness
This week was filled with highs and lows. But I can say it was a week filled with God’s grace and mercy. I heard of the passing of someone I grew up with. I’m a few years older than her, but we were in the same circle of friends for many years as I had […]
Pre-Mashed Up Food
Today’s blog post is inspired by the devotional I read on Friday from Proverbs31.org that has convicted my heart. The author shared how much of a foodie she is. She loved all types of food and does not discriminate. She mentioned if a new restaurant was opening that she would read all the reviews and […]
Take the Leap
As we have closed out one year and entered in a new year, I took some time to review the goals I had set for myself at the end of 2020. I by no means accomplished them all, but, I’ve made progress as I’ve taken intentional steps in the areas I set. This morning as […]
Happy Holidays, and… Thank You!
On this last Sunday of 2021, I want to say I hope you’ve had a fantastic holiday season. I hope it was time spent in a way that was meaningful for you and your loved ones. It always amazes me when the time seems to fly so quickly and it brings to mind a saying […]
Call Upon Me
These are the words that are on my heart this morning. It could be that it’s because it’s close to the verse on the bottom of the page of my journal found in Jeremiah 29:11. While I love what that particular verse says, there’s just something special about the verses right after. Jeremiah 29:11-13 states […]
