Our home with Him

I so enjoy watching before and after house renovation projects. Mainly the ones where the buyer purchases a house that no one would want. The ones falling apart and that requires the most work. I love how these buyers take a place that was abandoned and left for ruin and make the house a home.…

Happy endings

I love happy endings. The ones where something positive is the result. Being reunited with loved ones, the sick being healed, someone turning the hard into a triumphant story. You know, things like that. Even if your life is pretty good, life isn’t always positive. It is not always easy. Sometimes we go through things;…

Common Good

I think ants are incredible little creatures. I love how they work together for each other’s common good. I think as humans, we need to be better about that. We often can be selfish or competitive. Though God calls us to love and care for one another. It’s a beautiful thought to think of how…

True faith

You can know scripture but not live by His word You can sing praises, but not listen to what is heard You can be giving but is it coming from the right place Call yourself religious just to save face I’ve met many who claim to believe in Him But even the enemy believes and…
