He looks out for us all
I love my children so deeply. I pray for them daily. I do what I can to give them the best, safest, life possible. Although I know I can’t be with them every second and I can’t protect them from everything. Though I feel a sense of peace knowing that God can. That He covers…

Light of mine
I don’t recall my age, though I know I was quite small My youth group instructor had a song meant for us all “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine” We sang with a great cause We sang it loud and clear I’m sure it rang throughout the halls I remember…

Enjoy all our blessings
We played ball with my dog yesterday. I don’t know who was enjoying the good game of fetch more; my husband and I or our dog. The birds were singing, the temperature was comfortable, it was peaceful. It may have been not an extraordinary moment, though it was joyous. The other day my youngest son…

Be Neighborly
We have these amazing neighbors who seem to always be looking out for us. They’re so thoughtful, encouraging and caring. They are always bringing us goodies, offering help and even fixing things they don’t have to. When I came home from the hospital last year, they got my family and I take out. They’re less…

You’re enough
Many, many, years ago I knew a young man who was not very kind to me. He told me I wouldn’t amount to anything. He said many unkind things. Though everything mean he said that I was, I am not. Everything good that he said I couldn’t accomplish, I did, with the Lord’s help. I…

The next best thing
On the floor were the last two delicious peanut butter balls. Likely now covered in animal hair and surely now deemed inedible. Standing above them was my youngest son, apologizing. Having much too much to carry in his hands, he had dropped the bowl with the rest of the treats. My husband and I immediately…

A place of love
You’re too much, you’re not enough, you’re too this, too that You’re much too skinny or you’re much too fat Your hair is too short, your hair is too long You’re much too weak or you’re just too strong You shouldn’t wear that, it just isn’t cool You’re a little odd, so you must be…

World made new
Wouldn’t it be grand, Wouldn’t it be great If we lived without sin, I often contemplate For how much better would life be Without all the pain from sin Where goodness always resides From a place within No animosity No cruelty, no hate Where love is always Our constant state Where we all acknowledge the…

Bloom again
Last year I had a major health scare, and I almost didn’t make it home from the hospital. Though God and His goodness spared my life and I’m grateful for it. For there is so much more I’d like to do yet here. I went home feeling a lot of emotions. Both trying to process…

Kindness for all creatures
I love animals. All different species. From cats to dogs, to Lions and elephants. Though I’m aware as to which ones to have as pets and which ones to enjoy from a distance. I do have a handful of pets, all of which know they are well loved and cared for. Now I know that…
