To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and...
Psalm 90:12 says, So, teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. I was thinking about this verse again today as I believe it is a key for our walk with God. I have studied this scripture since the beginning of the year, it intrigued...
Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 I see many becoming weary in the body of Christ. Trust me...I understand that feeling. I must choose to not become weary these days. It is a...
Falling short. We have all felt it. Either in our natural life or perhaps in our spiritual life. I was reminded today of a conversation I once had with my daughter. This reminder caused me to begin to think about how most of us struggle with falling short. In our...
Momentum: the strength or force that allows something to continue or to grow stronger or faster as time passes The Bible says, “Do not despise the day of small beginnings” (Zech 4:10.) What does that mean? I believe one thing it means is to watch closely and praise God even...
So, let me share a funny story – funny but insightful. This past Saturday, I picked up some cucumber plants, strawberry plants, and Kennebec potatoes to plant for this year. I had already planted onions a few days before. As I carried my plants and potatoes in the house, I...
Recently, I was reading through the Psalms when I came across a familiar passage. I have read it hundreds of times I am sure, but that day, I was overwhelmed by the benefits that belong to someone who reads and obeys God’s Word. Let me share that Psalm with you...
“Is fear a sin?” I heard this question in my spirit one day. I didn’t respond. Still, the question continued to play over and again in my mind. I was at a lesson with my granddaughter (horse riding) when this question kept coming to me. I was watching as the...
“The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'” Billy Graham We have all felt deep discouragement from time to time. No...
This week I have been helping my grandson, Bryson, complete some research papers for school. As we were working, I thought about something. There are two times a year Bryson needs a bit of help with his writing assignments. One is the very beginning of the school year. It seems...
It was one of those days when God had a plan for me other than the one I had for myself. Each time I began to work, He had me stop and call someone on the phone, just to encourage them. After the third time God had me make a...
Today, I want to share with you a dream I not too long ago. In the dream, I was with my mom. We traveled to visit my uncles, on my dad’s side. These men are all with the Lord now. In the dream, we arrived at the home of...
As I was studying this morning a scripture caught my attention. It is found in Ecclesiastes 11:4. I am going to share it with you from the Amplified Bible: He who observes the wind and waits for all conditions to be favorable will not sow, and he who regards the...
On Saturday morning I walked outside like I normally do on the weekends. I headed out to the back porch to fill the bird feeders. As I stepped outside, the atmosphere arrested me. Something was very different. Atmospheres have always been important to me. God had given me the ability...
My 80-year-old Mom calls me nearly every morning, bright and early. It was in one of those conversations that what I am writing to you today was conceived. We were about to hang up from our conversation when I said, “I feel like there was something else I was going...
Today I came across a personal letter from a long-time partner. Her letter included a personal gift. Later that day I sat down to send her a thank you letter. As I wrote, the Lord spoke something to me about the gift she had sent. He said it was His...
