All for the Lord! – Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving, (Colossians 3:23-24 NIV) Beginning a new year, for me, means how can […]
When Plans Change- Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
What do I do when my plans change? I had plans to visit my daughter in Lancaster, Ohio for the day, but due to the forecast, I canceled. It is a two-and-a-half-hour trip from my home. I did want to be trapped by the snow. God has plans for me each day, so it is […]
Praise the Lord with Singing- Psalm 100:1-2 (KJV)

Be Still- Psalm 46:10 (NIV)

Each Day is a Gift- James 4:14 (NIV)

The Good News! – Isaiah 52:7 (ESV)

When Plans Change- Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
I had plans for today, but they were cancelled. I was supposed to celebrate Christmas with my adult grandson and great-grandson, but the flu bug hit. How do I respond when plans get changed. Am I flexible or do I get upset? I know that I am not in control. I know that it matters […]
Seasoned Conversations- Colossians 4:6 (NIV)
I couldn’t believe the weather this morning. Our temperature was ten degrees with a wind chill of minus four. I think I will stay inside. I have been wanting to bake so this seems like a good day. I wonder if I can be as cold, when talking to others, when I don’t really […]
Food For My Soul- Hebrews 4:12 (NASB)
I have learned and continue to learn about the strength I receive when I read God’s Word. It builds me up and directs my path. It is living water for me. When I am thirsty, I drink a glass of water. When I am spiritually dry, I read the scriptures. I can see life more […]
