Fight the Battle-Philippians 4:8
Do you ever get attacked when you are sleeping? I do. Bad dreams that don’t make since, feelings of failure and thoughts of who has wronged me fill my mind. Often, hopelessness creeps in. It is not until I gain my bearings and realize who is attacking my mind that I take captive these thoughts […]
It’s Time For A Time Out- Proverbs 22:6
It is time for a time out. Can we just kick back and rewind? We all need a break from technology. Technology can be a resourceful part of life, but it also can consume us. Everywhere I go, I see people with their cell phones in front of their faces. It seems they can’t stop […]
Take Time for One-Another
I enjoyed a wonderful day with my mother and older sister today. Our mother had a Cardiology appointment in a neighboring town, and we decided to make a day of going thrifty shopping and lunch. It doesn’t take much to put a smile on my mother’s face and today, she smiled a lot. I think […]
A New Creation-2nd Corinthians 5:17
I became a great-grandmother yesterday. What a blessing! My great-grandson makes our fifth generation, and I am sure a photo will be taken to celebrate. A new birth is exciting, but it can be tiring.

Friends- Proverbs 17:17
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. (Proverbs 17:17) It is so nice when a friend calls to meet. Wonderful friends are those who, even though it has been a long time since you last got together, pick right up where you left off, never missing a beat. I […]
Too Busy?
Lists and more lists. I make a list and then need can’t remember where I put it. I like to be organized. I find that making lists helps me to focus on the tasks at hand. I used to be able to complete a long list each day, but as I grow older, […]
First things First- Matthew 6:33
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. (Matthew 6:33 NASB) I have found in my life that when I put God first each day, He supplies for all my needs. I cannot possibly know everything that I have need of. Unexpected things can crop up. […]
Older Women, teach the Younger-Titus 2:3
Older women are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips, nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good. (Titus 2:3) I had the privilege of speaking with a young woman today. We talked about managing money and working in harmony with her husband. As a woman believer, it is important to be […]
Abide in Love-John 15:10
“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” (John 15:10 NASB) I am learning how to abide in love. I know I am a work in progress. Like the Apostle Paul, I find myself doing the things […]
