Jesus wept
“Jesus wept.” The very shortest scripture verse in the Bible. Yet, there is such heaviness and meaning behind it. Jesus came as a man and felt the pain of this world. He empathized with the heartache and the hurt. Yes, even Jesus cried. It truly is okay to cry. I heard a saying, I believe…

Rest in His care and His love
It was a pretty cold morning and the frost had kissed the ground. We passed by a small lake and floating atop the water were some very pretty ducks. Behind them from the frigid water temps, you could see a trail in the water from where they had just come from. The cold-water leaving imprints…

Go where He calls
God is awesome. I watched a video of a man today stand in front of his congregation and talk about how God called him to become a pastor. This man, had cerebral palsy. He admitted when he first got the calling, he doubted it. He initially didn’t know how God could use him with his…

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.

Out of state and at a zoo with my family I found myself lost. I was seven or eight years old and I had gotten distracted by a monkey exhibit. I still remember placing my small hand over the mold of a monkey’s hand in comparison. Then for some reason I thought I saw my…

Time swiftly passes by
I remember the days of remote-control cars with my oldest son. Now these days my oldest seems to be controlling mine. The small hands that once held a small remote, now are big hands, wrapped around the steering wheel of my Toyota. My youngest these days seems to have simultaneously outgrown being held in my…

So kindly given
My first Christmas when I was a single mom was something quite unexpectedly beautiful. I didn’t have much money to give my kids much of anything that year. I had bills to pay, mouths to feed and presents were a luxury that I couldn’t really afford. It broke my heart that my kids wouldn’t have…

Gift of love
I can hear what was once my grandma’s clock sing in the background. Every time that it plays the memory of her floods in my mind and I smile. I miss her a lot. But she lived a pretty good long life. Though like most would say, it would’ve been nice to have her well…
