Highlighting God's Presence to Inspire Your Life!
Yes, day by day, even minute by minute, God does work everything out for our good!
Some of you faithful readers or people that know me personally might recall that three years ago I was transferred to a new position at my work place…Basically demoted because of my college degree and part time status.
As usually happens when something, not in “our” plan, happens we might not see God’s hand at work in the situation until later. Continue reading “DAY BY DAY”
A Bible verse that I have always grappled with not quite being able to wrap my brain around it, as the saying goes, until this weekend that is. The part that was hardest for me to understand was the “perfect love casts out fear.” Continue reading “PERFECT LOVE”
At a Good Friday service this year, I was reminded of a person mentioned in all four Gospels that has an interesting parallel in our lives hence my thoughts this week. Maybe you will be able to reflect on something you might not have thought about previously.
As you can probably guess from the title of these thoughts, yes, the man I am referring to is Barabbas! Continue reading “I AM BARABBAS”
This Holy Thursday afforded me another opportunity to experience something I had not witnessed before. It was another case of seeing God’s providential hand where one event leads to another and another producing good adventures!
It all started when I drove by a school where I saw a musical was going to be presented. Having a friend’s birthday coming up and wanting to do something special and different I asked if she wanted to see the musical. What are the chances that it happens to be one that is one of her favorites? I couldn’t get tickets for the day we really wanted so picked another day that had some tickets available. As soon as we walk in the school I bumped into a couple who I have known through the years. And, what are the chances that their assigned seats were exactly right behind ours?
As we were waiting for the auditorium doors to open we were conversing and heard about a Maundy Thursday program at their church. My friend and I both thought it sounded interesting and said we would like to go. So that is exactly what we did! Continue reading “LORD, IS IT I?”
Have you ever caught yourself thinking your life is not that important?
Maybe you are just a plain, ordinary person interacting with one person at a time in your life rather than being a famous, well known actor, singer, artist, etc. I think a lot of us might just fall into that category of ordinary people! Continue reading “JUST ONE”
Did you ever think about how a deck of cards can remind us of the Bible and even help us to pray?
I will be honest and say I never did until a friend of mine shared a video with me where a magician was talking and performing a trick using a deck of cards. Hence this week these thoughts are expanded upon what was originally shared with that video. Continue reading “A DECK OF CARDS”
This week I have a simple but hopefully powerful image for you that I heard a speaker mention. It bears sharing in my humble opinion…..
For something a little different this week, I have an interactive writing! How can that be you ask?
Well, I thought a visual, personal encounter this week might be a good exercise for you!
Two little words, a simple encounter, that ended up with multiple blessings in retrospect!
Yes, two simple words a gentleman spoke to me as he handed me his empty cart to use, despite me not having a quarter to give him for the cart, at a local store; actually at a store that is at a further location from my “normal” one! BLESSING #1
My thoughts turned to those words this week as I sat loving a little boy in the NICU who I learned was indeed going home that day after being born 24 days earlier!
As you might know, my week is always blessed extra when I call the NICU on a Sunday morning and hear those words “Yes, we have some little ones that need some extra love.” After a six week hiatus it was music to my ears. Continue reading “GOING HOME”
Let me start off with asking you a question today. Do you have a bucket list and if so, do you have several items on it?
For me, I really only have one item on my bucket list.
A few people I know have done a form of this within the last few years which has inspired me to think about how much I would love to do it someday. Continue reading “MISSION REFLECTIONS”
