Give Thanks! -Psalm 92:1-3 (NASB)
I am thankful for all the little things I see and experience. The snow falling, a cardinal at my feeder, pumpkin pie and hot chocolate with whip cream. It does not take much to make me smile. I was happy to hear that my daughter in Florida invited a stranger who had no place to […]
Declutter-Luke 10:42 (NIV)
Declutter God is showing me my need to slow down. Slowing down can be difficult. After all, I have obligations to fulfill and assignments to complete. Being in the hospital with sepsis has opened my eyes. I am not as young as I used to be, my schedule does not need to be as […]
Laziness- Proverbs 10:4 (NIV)
Cold, rainy days make me lazy. I want to take a nap and sleep the day away. I know that that is not very productive, but that is how I feel. I know that I could fall asleep spiritually too. It happens when I do not take the time to read God’s word and take […]
Give Thanks-Psalm 136:1 (NIV)
I celebrated Thanksgiving early this year. My children came on the 22nd and filled my heart with joy. Each year, my family gets larger and my distant family has branched off to host their own dinner.

God Never Slumbers or Sleeps-Psalm 121:3

Positive Thoughts-2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV)
Positive Thoughts Positive thoughts bring positive words. I know I do not always have positive thoughts. Someone comes to my mind that has wronged me, and if I do not resist the thought, it will take root and then my words will become negative. It takes work to keep my mind in check. I […]
Let’s Be Givers-Acts 20:35 (NIV)
In everything I did, I showed you by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus Himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35 NIV) My husband has had his old 1995 pick-up since 1997 and has put 387,000 miles on it. […]
God is Good-Psalm 145:9 (NIV)
God is Good God is always good in all he does. He knows what is best for me. It may appear, when illness comes, that He should heal me right away, but I know He works His will through it. I depend on God alone. I have been learning, for many years, that He is […]
Divine Appointments- Acts 8:26-28 (NIV)
I pray for divine appointments. I want to be in the right place at the right time. When it happens, I am still amazed. I met a nice woman yesterday. I was out at one of the retirement homes, playing music. After I finished, I had an amusing conversation with a delightful lady. I discovered […]
