Freedom
The deceitfulness of the human heart is far greater and deeper than we can comprehend, but the love of God is deeper still. Each day we should set out on the task to understand both better than we did the day before. * Lord, humble me and show me my own deceitful heart. Make plain […]

The List – Turned Around
The list I held in my hand grew longer with each moment I sat in the car. I was about to walk into the store and tried to think of anything that did not make it on the list. I sensed anxiety trying to make its way up from my stomach into my heart as […]

Silence
The house is quiet. The seconds drip out of the clock into my ears. I remember my grandmother’s clock – and different seconds ticking away. Slower ones made their way across a quiet table, set for two. Time for quiet. Time for silence – Only the dripping of seconds. I don’t remember what was said […]

Peace and Rest
Slow me down and quiet my heart. Blind me to the distraction that keeps me from seeing You. Deafen me to the noise that draws me away from You. * Your hand is visible all around me. In stillness and peace I can see and hear. * Help me not to live this day to […]

Come, Walk With Me
Come walk with me into the night. Come to the fields with me. No man-made light, no city glitz Pollute your eyes to see. * Just look into the night sky here. Just wonder like a child. Let deep within you awe and fear Arise and move your mind. * They say that all this […]

We can allow our memories to either nourish or poison our soil. A forgiving heart, which both can humbly receive forgiveness and graciously pour it out, […]

Your Love
Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. * “Father, the thought that You are singing over me is too much to comprehend. Your love […]

IN IT
Driving through the countryside at this time of year is beautiful. Trees are stunningly displaying the creativity of our Maker. Looking at these trees can bring sweet comfort, knowing that all too soon the earth will covered with a bitterly cold blanket. I was staring at the beauty of our maple tree a few days […]

Just A Moment … Or Is It?
“We do not remember days, We remember moments.” Cesare Pavese * I was walking out into the early morning. The air was heavy with a crisp fall fog. Trees were standing like giants in the mist and their beautifully colored leaves were slowly making their way down to the ground all around me. God spoke […]
