Spread joy
My husband is the friendliest man I’ve ever known. Anywhere he goes, he seems to make a friend, if only for a moment. Its like he lives to bring others some form of joy. Hes just kind. I admire this quality. It’s one I’m needing to work on. It’s a Christ-like character, that I’m still…

Godly woman
I always respected my grandmother. She seemed to have this gentle sense of grace to her. She spoke when necessary but did so gently with intention. She was respectful and kind. She was modest yet so very pretty. She had a soft, meekness, that is of godly character. She loved her husband, her children, people,…

Be wise
King Solomon was so very wise. God had given him great wisdom. Yet, he still made a series of bad choices. Wisdom without action is a wasted gift. Though I, too, have done this. There have been times when God has given me wisdom, and I chose to listen to emotion instead. As expected, it…

Lens of love, not judgment
A man walked into my salon today. He looked a little tough and serious. He wore a long ponytail and was direct when he spoke. I prayed that the Lord would be with me. I thought that he might be difficult. I was kind to him still from the beginning, though also skeptical on the…

Looking with gratitude
Growing up, it was cheap shampoo and cheap bar soap. It was off brand mac and cheese and ramen noodles at times. We weren’t rich, but I was cared for. Times were hard, sometimes, but I also had what I needed. Occasionally, things I wanted. Like my junior year prom dress. It may not have…

Love in action
Dark chocolate covered pomegranate candy. There is often always a bag in our fridge, as my husband frequently keeps them in there for me. He does this because he knows they are my favorite. It’s a sweet gesture and another way to show his love for me. Love notes in the front pocket of his…

One true God
It’s unfortunate how, as a society, we put so much glory into celebrities and the like, and not enough in God. It’s misplaced, praise. Treating certain individuals like gods, instead of praising the only one true God. There’s nothing wrong with having respect for and appreciating others and their gifts. The problem wherein lies putting…

Use our gifts
She used some sort of clay to design this beautiful work of art. I was amazed at how talented she was with her gift. As I watched her mold and then paint this masterpiece, it was a reminder of how we are all gifted with each of our own special gifts. Everyone is, all of…

Revere His word
My husband and I were reading Proverbs in the Bible last night. We talked about how the Bible really doesn’t sugarcoat anything. As it really doesn’t. It doesn’t try to appease everyone or tiptoe around things. It’s pure, honest and tells it like it is. Though it does so from a place of protection, wisdom…
