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 !”

What are your “current priorities?”  Yes, I realize it’s the Christmas Season, but I still challenge you and me with the question of our “current priorities.  It’s a heart-felt question, isn’t it!  For what we hold “dear” to us really occupies the priorities of our heart. I don’t know about you, but I find itContinue reading “HAVE YOU ANY ROOM IN YOUR HEART FOR GOD TO WRITE “HIS STORY?””

How many times in a day do you and I “look up?”  That may be an odd question at first.  If a poll was taken, I’d guess that not everyone here on earth looks up at the sky every day.   Our eyes are drawn to down-to-earth living.   We often speak of being on vacation andContinue reading “KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE CLOUD”

FROM GEORGE MULLER…HIS GLEANINGS ON PRAYER Get your heart in a state that “it has no will of its own in a matter.” Don’t leave yourself to feelings or impressions…so you won’t be filled with delusion. Seek the “will of the Spirit of God…in connection with the Word of God”           God will never leadContinue reading “PRAYER & WAITING ON GOD”

In moving ahead in our life we need to look to Jesus….who knows all the routes offered to us, as well as the pitfalls as well. He always knows the best route. When we remember the Israelites running from their pursuing Egyptian enemies, God led them the “long way around” to the Red Sea. TheyContinue reading “COMPASS THINKING”

What do you think of when you hear the word “walking?”  I think about the incline in the road my husband and I walk on in the evening that brings on a huffing and puffing sound from my anatomy.  Now I know that’s negative, but it’s a reality with proceeding up that incline.   Yes, IContinue reading “WALKING WITH GOD”
