Don’t Waste Christmas
On Christmas we remember and celebrate the birth of our Savior, what many think of as the beginning of his life. While it was the start of his life as a human being on this Earth, it was also a continuation of his eternal being. John chapter one tells us that he was in the […]

Joy to the World
If we could speak face to face today, you might just tell me that you are overwhelmed with all the disastrous happenings in the world. I know that some days find me scratching my head and asking, “what else, Lord.” Even in this season of peace, shooters attack unsuspecting people, earthquakes shatter, volcanos erupt, war […]

A Child is Born
The birth of a child – what a momentous occasion. We love to talk about the births of our children. Our first born arrived after many hours of labor in a hospital and city where my husband and I knew no one. On that day before Thanksgiving, her tiny self sparked joy that has never […]

Unto Us
To a world gone awry, In the darkest of nights The Child brought His light. Hopelessness reigned, And sorrow was king In this sin-weary world. But God Sent his own son To a stable poor. His light pierced the dark With hope and with joy. Shining bright in Earth’s night Over years, over time, His […]

Prepare Him Room
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart (Luke 2:18 – 19, KJV). The legends and lore of Christmas intertwine with the simple story of Christ’s birth creating scenarios that only vaguely resemble the […]

He Shall Be Called
Wonderful Counsellor bearing my pain, Holding my heart as I come once again. You calm my fears, my worries You bear. Wonderful Counsellor, You take every care. Almighty God, You are mighty to save. You overcame death and came out of the grave. You give me strength to take my next step. Almighty God, You […]

Thanksgiving Day
Turkey and dressing, pudding and pie – Eating so much that I think I must die. Mounds of potatoes, mountains of rolls, The table is piled with bounty untold. The family is gathered; the feast is all spread. We smile as we look over each loved bowed head, and we offer great thanks to our […]

Find Us Faithful
Today is preparation day. While many people do all their preparation on the day of Thanksgiving, certain facts have me doing a lot of preparation on the day before. Those facts (we eat at noon on Thanksgiving and there will be a lot of people) are now joined by the truth that I am slower […]

November Came
November came today, Swept in on blustery breezes, And autumn leaves danced a jig Beneath a dome of gray. November came with streaks, gold and crimson, weaving through evergreen. Grapevines showing off. November came In celebration and prophecy Of year’s end – Announced in colorful abandon. Ecclesiastes 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: […]

Continue On
No time to stop. Keep on telling. Keep on loving. Keep on reaching to a drowning world. The world’s ship may be sinking, but we have hands to grasp, hearts to hold, mouths to feed, work to do. Some will turn. Some will hear. Some will live. For the Gospel’s sake, continue on. I Timothy […]

Confidence
Philippians 1: 6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: When I stop and think about how God has allowed me to walk with Him through this life, I am blown away by the multitude of blessings that […]

Addicted
1 Corinthians 16:15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) I said I was not going there again. But then the fall candy showed up. I had to buy some for the Trunk or Treat […]

Your Word
When troubled I lean on Your Word to calm me in the fray. When blue skies shine, Your Word is still my frail heart’s hope and stay. My heritage, my teacher, the lamp that lights my way. Correction when I turn aside, my joy when life seems gray. No other words call to my soul […]

I Know
Sometimes I am confused. Sometimes my soul is shaken by the evil in this world. Sometimes Psalm 82:5 describes my life – “All the foundations of the earth are out of course.” – and I feel like I am trying to step where the land is falling away, stone by stone, under my feet. My […]

IF
If we could see beyond the mists of this world into eternity, If we could view God’s power and His presence as they truly are, the burdens would seem lighter. Our days would be brighter. And we would walk with confidence and joy. I Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor […]

Follow
Peter, that disciple we seem to most identify with, the headstrong, the determined, the outspoken, the foot-in-the-mouth one, followed Christ from the moment that Jesus called him from his fisherman’s nets. Peter slipped sometimes. He trusted the wrong voice sometimes, and he often spoke when he should have been listening. He messed up royally, but […]

Candle
For Thou wilt lighten my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. (Psalm 18:28) Father, Light my candle with the fire of Your Spirit and the brightness of Your glory. Let it shine into corners and rooms where hearts are captured by hurt and hatred. Let it shine through falsehood to reveal Your […]

A Prayer for Growing Older
I really identified with this prayer. Perhaps you can, too. Proverbs 16:31 The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, If it is found in the way of righteousness.

Eyes
Father, Let my eyes be on You. Too often I place my eyes on others. Then their very humanness becomes my focus, and my image of You diminishes and grows dim. Let my eyes be on You, on Your glory, on Your love, on Your perfection. Then, the radiance of Your glory will overshadow the […]

Mercy Rains
Mercy rains Pouring over sin and shame Cleansing the most wretched name Refuting Satan’s evil claim and setting captives free. Mercy rains Running down the cross He bore Dropping from the crown He wore Saving me forevermore and calling me His own. Mercy rains. I will run for joy in His mercy, splashing through the […]
