He bore the cross
He bore the cross To save the lost Beaten and bruised Stricken and abused Mocked and slanderized Spat at and ostracized As nails pierced through His skin All to save us from our sin He holds the scars That were meant to be ours Yet often we pay Him no mind Just acknowledge on our…

Beautifully equipped
The cardinal was my grandma’s favorite bird. She especially loved the bright red of the male cardinal. There was something extra captivating about the red against the white snow of winter. We have a male and female cardinal that visit us frequently and I smile as it makes me think of her. It is so…

Love with intention
She watched over me when I was little, and my parents were both working. She would let me play beauty shop, and she was my client; and I did not do her justice, being a little girl with a makeup brush and a comb. But she didn’t care, she just laughed and built me up…

Teach in the way of Christ
I’m going to say something that is not of popular opinion in today’s culture. This is not just based on my opinion; it is also Biblical. It is not cute when you encourage and laugh at your child’s bad behavior. Such as, swearing, dressing inappropriately and allowing them to listen and watch things that quite…

Guided by God
Trusting God means full submission Trusting in all that He’s commissioned Letting go and letting Him lead Knowing He will provide what we need He does not guide us where we mustn’t go As we trust Him, our faith does grow How blessed are we to have God as our guide Knowing that with Him,…

Grace
I won’t ever forget her. I don’t exactly remember what she looked like. But I remember her in her kindness towards a stranger. I never got her name, though if I picked one for her it would be Grace. I remember that she was dressed in humility and she was wheelchair bound. She was blind,…
