Easter Song
As we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, may we never forget the price that Jesus paid for our redemption. We live in grace and peace because He bore our sorrows. We have forgiveness because He paid the price for our sins. May God be praised! In the dark of Calvary,In the suffering there,Sorrow labored, Heaven weptFor my […]

Certainty
Anyone who has ever received a difficult diagnosis,or agonized through an illness,or known the heartbreak of watching a loved one die,knows the agony of waiting.We wait for the results of the next test.We wait for the next treatment.We wait for the next heartbeat.We wait through symptoms, and reactions,and pain.We wait for a funeral, signaling our […]

The Cross
Today, I remember the cross,the suffering,the pain,the dishonor,the crueltythat my Savior bore in my place.Today, I thank Himfor His steadfast lovethat held Him to that crossfor me. 17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: 18 Where they crucified him, and […]

Waiting
Enveloped in silenceI walked past puddlesIn the drizzling tears Of a gray, spring sky.Birds and crickets hushed,Graybeard blooms languished,Dogwood petals strewnOver the wet ground.Creation mourned.Remembered.Waited. 33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, […]

Going Home
The day had been long, but it was almost over. I stood clearing my desk as the children visited, quietly waiting for the bus calls. Time was dragging. Then, I noticed a small face peering over the stack of papers on my desk. The six-year-old boy had inched up silently and now stood thoughtfully watching […]

One
I walked out to the parking lot today, and I passed a winter flower bed. I call it a winter flower bed because it was brown and gray. Cold weather and frost had accomplished their purpose leaving a less than beautiful area in need of a master gardener. I stopped for a moment when I […]

Harbinger of Hope
Miniscule blossomsLift flowered heads to the sun.Harbingers of Spring. This morning’s walk revealed many indications that Spring is at the door. Even though February has not yet passed, the warming breeze was refreshing. I walked under silhouetted trees still caught in winter’s grip, showcasing bare branches, and I enjoyed the sight of buds breaking out […]

Enough
As we have faced difficult times and scary diagnoses over the past few weeks, we have felt our faith challenged, and we have been reminded that God calls us to live by faith. The faith that He has given to us has held firm through the storms. Living by faith means trusting Him in the […]

Held
Our Bible study small group has been moving slowly through the book of Romans. We recently completed Romans chapter eight, that heart cry of victory for believers. We talked of and rejoiced in the overwhelming love of God and His steadfastness in keeping His children. Now, today, I am waiting in the hospital with our […]

Loving Each Other
Our granddaughter is currently receiving treatment in a large children’s hospital. The stay is proving to be longer than we first thought, and we are becoming more and more familiar with hospital comings and goings. A hospital this size is like a small city, and every walk of life is represented here. While we normally […]

Secret Place
Written by Moses in the wilderness, Psalm 91 stands as a beacon of strength to God’s children. It speaks of His love, His protection, His strength, His nearness in time of trouble. I read the truths, the confidence, the promises of this psalm and my natural mind says, “no way”. Christians get sick. Christians have […]

Singing Over You
Baby crying in the night, Mama holding him so tight As she sings over him. Calmly puts him into bed, Gently stroking his small head As she sings over him. Angels linger near seeing every tear; God knows your broken heart tonight. He hears every prayer wrenched from your heart of care, And He sings […]

Precious
The word precious means highly esteemed or valued, of great worth or price, cherished, priceless, dear. Our children are precious to us. We call our liberty precious. The memory of our loved ones is precious. The word ‘precious’ is found only sixteen times in the New Testament (KJV), and seven of those times are found […]

Loving God
And he (Jesus) answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself (Luke 10:27) This command first appeared as part of the Shema, which remains a central prayer of Judaism, in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 6. Moses repeated it multiple times to the Israelites, and Joshua […]

More than Conquerors
God gives victory. Sometimes the triumph is miraculous and awesome in our eyes, and for a few minutes we are amazed and in awe of His power. But often the conquest, though no less monumental, is not the success of a champion but the training of the soldier. It occurs in the strength to take […]

Morning
When morning comes,I will have my coffeeas I watch the new daygently unfurl its promise.I will lift my heart to the Daystar, and listen for His voiceas He wakes the slumbering birds. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up (Psalm 5:3).

New Year’s Goal
I am not one for making New Year’s resolutions, but as I contemplate the year before me, I am drawn to Paul’s words in the Philippians, chapter three. “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; (Philippians 3:10 KJV). Rather […]

The Day After
The day on which we celebrate the birth of Christ has passed, but did our joy and wonder pass with it? The gift of Christmas is a gift that changes those who embrace and receive it. This gift does not wear out or tarnish. We can’t outgrow it, but we can let it get lost […]
