Forgiveness
A few months ago when I had just started my blog, I was approached and asked to speak. The topic would be ‘forgiveness’. This person would never have known that I had been speaking with someone that very week and sharing that she needed to forgive someone of a very deep hurt and that would […]
Prayer
Some time ago, I was reading through the comments section of a blog I follow. The topic might have had to do with prayer or something related. The person commenting noted that whenever someone told her of an issue they were facing or an issue in general, she would tell them she would pray for […]
Trust
My daughter and I have a set routine at bed time. Sometimes she needs to get back up after we’re settled into bed and all the lights are off – and I’m too tired to get back up with her. When this started happening, I told her to go, and I’d turn on the flashlight […]
God’s perfect peace
More and more I’m learning that there are some things that are well beyond my control – well, all things, as I was reminded, are well beyond my control. But for some reason, I used to think that control was mine to have, and if I just kept doing what I was doing, that it […]
Cast your cares on Him
Today’s share was already shared on Jul 6th, so I apologize if you’ve already read it. However, I’ll share with you the rationale why I’m choosing to re share this one today. Today’s bible app verse of the day was 1 Peter 5:7 NIV “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. […]
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’.

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 – […]
