It was an “ordinary day” when I headed out for my morning walk. We were living in Arizona at the time. It was in the middle of December, and my morning walks were refreshing, cool and enjoyable, as opposed to the hotter seasons. I’d often see others out walking, but this day, I was aloneContinue reading “A SWEET DELIVERY”

ENCOURAGEMENT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS
Have you ever looked at something, say a book, and found yourself moving it forward to get a better, clearer view? Well, we can just imagine what age bracket you might be entering or residing in. A few years ago, my husband and I found that our eyes were changing. We’d gone through the “accordionContinue reading “ENCOURAGEMENT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS”
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.

OUR WORDS !
This year the Lord has continually brought the following verses & phrases to my life. They are becoming a real “compass” to my words and walk. May I share them with you? I’m finding these verses a good road map…. James 1:19 “Let every man be quick to listen but slow to use his tongue,Continue reading “OUR WORDS !”
A TIME TO SING
Hello! I’m a Song Sparrow & do I have a story for you! Hi! I couldn’t allow the day to pass without sharing about a “new feathered friend” that adorned our yard. She had been there for several weeks and I never heard her sing. You know why? Because even though I puttered around inContinue reading “A TIME TO SING”
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”
ONE WHO SENSES THEIR BROKENNESS
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’S INTERESTS ARE DIFFERENT THAN OURS
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?”
