God hears kids too!
While we were away, my daughter met some friends at the kids club. They became her ‘best friends’ within a matter of hours. Gotta love the friendliness of kids. Before we departed from dinner the night before, we agreed to meet up the next morning – but with a very loose agreement with no specific […]
What’s your choice?
My daughter and I were in the airport early one morning. As we had not had breakfast, I asked her if she wanted to stop and eat at a fancy restaurant – or go to McDonald’s. As I knew she would, she chose the Golden Arches. After thinking about it quickly, I realized that wasn’t […]
Our Father Loves Us Too Much…
Last week my youth class and I were discussing what happens by our Heavenly Father when we do things that we know goes against His will: we are chastened. In other words, our behavior is corrected. The Bible states: “because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.” Proverbs […]
Kindness begets kindness
I have used the quote to end my emails for nearly 15 years ‘It is difficult to give away kindness. It keeps coming back to you. Cort Flint’ and this message has not changed. I have found that the more you extend kindness, the more it comes back to you. My colleague and I enjoy […]
Hold on! Change is coming!
This week was a hard week. It was challenging in so many regards. But then I had to change my demeanor as I changed from role to role from a career woman, commuter, mom, daughter and friend. For each role I played, I had to show up for the part and try to be there […]
A braying washing machine?
A few weeks ago, I started a load of laundry. There seemed to be nothing out of the norm. I started it and went on to do my other chores around my home. When it got closer to the spin cycle – it sounded like there was a donkey in our home – which of […]
A God who sees our needs, and wants
Have you ever read the stories in 2 Kings 4? The chapter is broken down in four distinct stories: The Widow’s Oil; The Shunammite’s Son Restored to Life; Death in the Pot; and Feeding of a Hundred. I see these stories as a God who provides for our needs and sometimes what we didn’t even […]
What is your storm?
I’ve heard Priscilla Shirer share: ‘you’re either in a storm, coming out of one, or about to enter one’… What a true statement. This topic has been on my heart for the last three weeks to share with you, and this week, it came up at least 5 times, so I know it’s definitely time. […]
What is your purpose?
You ever wonder what purpose some animals or insects serve? My daughter and I spent our last vacation cruising on the high seas. The particular ship we sailed was affiliated with Guy Harvey, a marine biologist. He designed the hull of the ship, and he even had his own tv channel on the ship. My […]
What are you praying for?
On one of our most recent trips, my daughter saw a lady and decided she wanted to spend time with her. As we were all a part of the same excursion, I gave her the ok. I’ve also observed that she typically sees in others what most tend not to see. The lady had been […]
