PAVLOVA WITH A PURPOSE

Have you ever heard of a “pavlova?”  It’s a delicious dessert of meringue, cream and fruit on the top.  It’s a dessert I enjoy making and eating.  Whenever we have friends over, I’ll often serve this as a special treat for them. The appetite and craving for this dessert began years ago when I firstContinue reading “PAVLOVA WITH A PURPOSE”

AN EARLY MORNING BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

Good morning!  I think that’s an appropriate start to this sweet story.  Were you aware that God gives us “clues” on how and who to choose as friends. Proverbs 12:26 “The righteous should choose his friends carefully.” There are two beautiful people God designed for my friendship many years ago.  They are Carolyn and Ann. Continue reading “AN EARLY MORNING BIRTHDAY SURPRISE”

STAYING IN STEP WITH JESUS

“A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” Proverbs 16:9 I don’t know how long you’ve walked with the Lord, or perhaps, you’ve never considered walking with Him.  Since God not only creatively designed you and me, He bestowed upon us our first breath as well.   That took place when youContinue reading “STAYING IN STEP WITH JESUS”

We’re all broken!  Just look around.  I’ve often wondered if I’ll ever be “normal.”  We live in a fallen world…with a fallen and sinful nature.  That came with our packaging in the womb. No one has their act together, regardless of their post on social media. We’re all living in the same “camp-ground” of aContinue reading “ONE WHO SENSES THEIR BROKENNESS”

GOD IS MORE INTERESTED IN WHAT WE ARE BECOMING……………. THAN WHAT WE’LL EVER DO FOR HIM After people spend time with each of us, listening to us, watching us, observing our behavior, attitudes, and responses, WHAT DO THEY THINK OF HIM ? Our lives speak volumes, don’t they! We are either a “construction site” orContinue reading “GOD’S INTERESTS ARE DIFFERENT THAN OURS”

MOMENTS AT THE CROSS Did You Overlook This One?

I trust your heart and mind has been thinking about the events of the Passion of Jesus Christ (John 18 – 20).  It will take a “forever” to absorb all the truths displayed in His obedience to His Father to not only open the way to have a relationship with God and receive forgiveness forContinue reading “MOMENTS AT THE CROSS Did You Overlook This One?”

“PURPOSEFUL LIVING”

COMPASS THOUGHTS ON…….PURPOSEFUL LIVING God has “gifted” every one of His kids here on earth, for heavenly purposes!  Have you found your gift (an area of ability that God has given you)?  If so, is it being employed somewhere?   I don’t mean just for a church service, but anywhere and everywhere?  In your neighborhood, atContinue reading ““PURPOSEFUL LIVING””
