The Joy of the Lord
The Joy of the Lord resounds in my heart, When I think of His love-filled deed, On the cross, when He tore my sins far from me – On the day He tore the curtain apart. The Joy of the Lord makes my soul rest in peace, When I give Him my troubled mind, When…

Obstacles
While walking through the woods this morning, worries were weighing me down. I prayed and ask the Lord for wisdom. It was then that I came upon a tree that was blocking a bridge I was about to cross. It must have fallen in the night. It was too heavy for me to move, and…

Thrown Out!
(Just did some house cleaning … sure feels good!) I finally did throw you out! You cheat and lie when I’m about. You let me step all over you. I’m done with you! With you I’m through! You wobble back and forth all day. Why am I looking down your way? I want to cry…

“Forever is a long time!”, someone said to me today as we were contemplating the meaning of a forever family. I am reminded that forever is indeed a long time, when I think not just about our time on earth but also eternity. Forever is a long time. It means eternal love and security for…

I love dead-heading my flowers. Early in the morning and in the cool evening hours I go out and spend time trimming away, especially at the Petunias in hope it would encourage more blossoms, which in turn attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Today, in the midst of my summer bliss of chopping away at the plants,…

Be Bold
God faithfully ministers to my heart. He draws us His with His powerful love, Straight into His presence. The following song is a powerful reminder for me. I pray it might encourage you as well.

Words Galore
Your words are as endless as sand on a shore, Strung together in books And in blogs galore. You speak them with vigor and zeal the same As if you’re vying for spots In Christendom’s fame Your words sit on tables and nightstands – piled high Proclaiming your wisdom Your thoughts and advice. I sometimes…

No Temptation Has Seized You
Every time I see the following video, I am reminded of 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape,…
