Where You Are Led- 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)
Sometimes, I am overwhelmed by all the mail. I am learning that wherever I donate, others have access to my address. I receive too much. There are so many needs, but I can only give so much. I wonder how other folks do. I can only speak for myself, but I feel I should give […]
Even When I am Old- Isaiah 46:4 (NIV)
I had the joy of spending the day shopping with my eldest daughter, and my mother. At eighty-six, my mother does well. She made it through one store, then lunch and one more store before she had to sit. It is comforting to know that even in our older years, the Lord cares for us. […]
The Joy of Giving- Acts 20:38 (NIV)
What fills your heart with gratitude and joy? I had the opportunity to spend an hour playing Christmas music for a bunch of elderly seniors. I was encouraged when many sang with me. It made me smile as their voices rang out above mine. I went away full of joy and encouragement as one shared […]
God’s Creation- Job 38:16 (NASB)
I was intrigued when I watched a documentary. Science biologists were researching sea life in the arctic. They were on a ship hauling nets that had been on the ocean floor. I saw sea creatures that I would have never been able to see otherwise. I was amazed of all the creatures that God has […]
The Little Things- Psalm 16:11 (NASB)

The Joy of Rest-Matthew 11:28 (NIV)

Sparkles in the sun- John 8:12 (ESV)
As I looked out my picture window this morning, I saw sparkles in the snow across the road. They looked like diamonds glistening in the sun. It made me smile. I see the small little things in nature that are fascinating. God is fascinating in the way He does things. Just like the sparkles […]
In All Things- I Thessalonians 5:18 (NASB)
Me and technology do not always get along. I had to try three to four times to order a few things online. I wanted to be like ‘gosh’! Things shouldn’t be so difficult. I guess, as I get older, they are. My mother has said, “When you get older, things look a lot bigger.” […]
If I Feel Lost- John 14:6 (NASB)
Christmas time can be hectic. Shoppers were busy purchasing items for Christmas. While in the Kohl’s store, the crowds at the checkout counter were long, but the clerks were timely. I thoroughly enjoyed shopping. The only thing that was a bummer, was I lost my earmuffs that my husband bought for me. I went […]
Waiting- Isaiah 40:31 (NASB)
Pacing myself, is waiting to see what God has for me to do. Where can I glorify Him? I have ideas but is it truly what I am supposed to do. I am still recovering from an illness so do I need to go to this family function, or do I need to rest and […]
