Look UP
I was taken aback by my physical and emotional reaction to what I saw. I had known all along it was coming, but when the day arrived, I got sick to my stomach and felt teary. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I stepped out of the house last week early Monday morning and looked […]

Change
The other day my teenage daughter came to me with a photo of her when she was a toddler. Because we adopted her when she was older, I didn’t know her back then. She told me what she remembered about the photo and the circumstances. It made us chuckle at the changes that have taken […]

Desired Havens
Stay close to Him and by His side. Stay near the Word of God. Stay next to Christ – in Him abide. Stay with Him in the flood. ~ Hold out your hand to Him alone. Hold fast and stay the course. Hold on when cold winds whip and blow Hold tight when waters rise. […]
