“ENCOURAGEMENT THROUGH A PARAKEET“ By now, you’ll have recognized the fact that I enjoy and love animals – all sizes – all types (with a few crawling & slithering exceptions).  In fact, as I glance out my window at 6 am or 3 pm, two little wild bunnies make their daily appearance for pieces ofContinue reading “WELCOME BACK TO A NEW SEASON”

COMPASS THINKING……. Compass thinking is what I introduced to my blog ten months ago.  Call it a new season of thinking…. but my reasoning behind this “new route” of communicating is that I’d like to just share with you some of what the Lord has teaching me in my journey down here. I’ve found thatContinue reading ““It’s Time To Climb Up….Into His Lap” COMPASS THINKING”

It was that time of the year…. a quarterly dental cleaning.  I always enjoy visiting with the dental hygienist, Jill.  She’s good at her job, thorough, yet very gentle.   As she approached her tools, I mentioned that my back tooth seems a bit different.  I could feel that it didn’t that normal smoothness in itsContinue reading “THE “CROWN OF JOY” IN THE DENTAL CHAIR”

Several months ago, I shared that I may take a twist in how I present what I place on my blog.  We all need people in our lives to encourage us and spur us on in our individual walk with Jesus.  Hebrews 10:24 “Let us consider one another in order to stir up love andContinue reading ““IN THE WAITING ROOM””

What room are you living in at the moment?  If you’re in the kitchen, let’s get together for tea or a latte?   Sound good?  There are a number of rooms in a house, but currently I seem to be adapting long term to the “waiting room” … God’s waiting room.  As humans, we don’t careContinue reading “GOD’S UNUSUAL ACTIVITY”

Years ago, God orchestrated a new and beautiful relationship with a lovely woman.  Her name is Norma, and she is one lovely mentor to my heart and life.  She may not realize it, but she is.  She has a great “grace” about her that allows me to bubble forth my thoughts and ideas, and herContinue reading “WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION?”

“A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” Proverbs 16:9 My goodness, God’s Word addresses every area of our walk of faith…. every area.  The scripture above came to life for me the other morning at a local department store.  This department store had “sales” going on just after Christmas, andContinue reading “A DIVINE SHOPPING SPREE”

It was an ordinary day!  You know, errands galore and our last stop was the grocery store.   There must have been an advertisement of a special sale in this particular supermarket, as the line up on the aisle to pay was rather crowded.    I wasn’t obvious at first, but the women next to theContinue reading ““GIFTING OTHERS” AT THE GROCERY STORE”

O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight    For Christ is born of Mary    And gathered all above    WhileContinue reading “O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM”

We’ve all had down, disappointing days, haven’t’ we!  Just a few days ago, I had mine.  I woke up, not in a positive mood.  Have you had that experience yourself?  For no reason, I woke up in a not-so-happy mood. I’m so glad the Bible covers unexplained bad moods.  Jesus knows that we are butContinue reading “HAVE I GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU !”
