Some time has passed and I’ve been away from my computer…and for good reason.   After having a rendezvous with the optometrist a few months ago, she informed me that the cataracts on my eyes were growing; and it was now time for me to consider “clearing the horizon of my vision.” All that transpired onContinue reading “EYES TO SEE”

                                                                                      June 23, 2023 Good Morning This may appear to you as an “unusual” post– and it is.  Each morning as I shower and dress for the day, I enjoy listening to the teaching on the URBAN ALTERNATIVE, with Dr.  Tony Evans. Many of you may be very familiar with his program.  He is anContinue reading “WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE?”

  “A man’s steps are of the Lord:   How then can a man understand his own way.  Proverbs 20:24 “For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He ponders all his paths.”  Proverbs 5:21 Are you ready for a read and a “cuppa tea” or “coffee?”  Today is theContinue reading “WHAT A SURPRISE!”

Its been awhile since I’ve posted anything….and there are reasons for that. But at the moment, I’m going to introduce a new method of blogging. I still am not fond of that word, but you know what I mean. lol I thought that from now on, I’d just write as though you were sitting onContinue reading “HELLO !”

Well, it has been about 5 months since placing a post on the blog!  As I mentioned last November, we were in the transitional phase of moving from Surrey, B.C., Canada to Goodyear, Arizona, U.S.A.  Let me tell you, it was a BIG MOVE and I’m still settling into our new location.   With an internationalContinue reading ““HELLO THERE””

Corrie ten Boom [Corrie’s father would use this analogy to teach her to trust in the Lord in all things.] “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”  Proverbs 3:5, 6 JANUARY 1, 2023Continue reading ““When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.””

Father, You’re such a “personal” God and Father.   One of the first characteristics that comes to my mind about your physical appearance when You were here on this earth is your HANDS.  Your HANDS were pierced for me, my individual sins and rebellion, anger and indifference.  My heart had a coldness and deadness before YouContinue reading “PRAYER FOR MY HANDS”

Good Morning! Each morning I receive, by email, a short “devotional thought” from Dr. Charles Swindoll. He is the senior pastor of Stonebriar Community Church. His service can be listened to by using YouTube on your television or cell phone. This morning’s post is “wonderful & practical.” I felt compelled to share it on thisContinue reading “LIVING MERCY”

Good morning ! My husband and I are currently in the middle of an international “move” from Canada to the U.S.A. (Arizona, specifically). My days and weeks have been rather “full.” I’m moving towards the end of wrapping up our lives in Canada, and this morning, as I was having my time with the Lord,Continue reading “NEW STRENGTH”

Most of my delightful encounters have occurred in a very ‘ordinary’ way.  You know, when I’m minding my own daily business.  I was stationed in our front yard armed with my shovel and prepared for some serious plant removal.  Within minutes of beginning my “dirt” project, a thought appeared on my brain’s radar: “Dianne, takeContinue reading “MEETING A NEIGHBOR IN HER PAIN”
