An Ungratefully Received Gift

I was again reminded so much of our life needs to be based on being grateful to God, even when it’s not obvious. A book called “One Thousand Gifts” reminds us even our salvation is based on first believing God sent Jesus and being thankful for the sacrifice Jesus made. I don’t know I have… Continue reading

Holy Week Mixed Feelings

Holy Week has always been difficult for me. After all I’m the person who cries over touching commercials. I don’t handle Hallmark Channel well, but I’ve come to know this week and Easter does hold something for me, and I hope some new idea or a reminder of things for you. A blessed week and… Continue reading

Sometmes Quietly

I love the days of quiet spirit. I sometimes forget to write about them, concentrating of the ‘urge to vent’ or get out the churning ideas and feelings. But today I record the quiet days feeling… enjoy. Continue reading

HALFWAY GIVERS

The ideal of Christian living is giving myself totally to God. We all talk about it, but it’s never been easy for me to do it in reality. What does it look like for me? We like to think we fully trust God immediately after becoming a Christian. But sometimes what’s possible and what really… Continue reading

“Whatever….”

The new year does something to us. It stirs something in us. We always have hope for something new, even if we are doing the same things. I don’t know why we think this will magically happen. I decided to go a different direction and say ‘whatever’ to God. But it’s not quite the disconnect… Continue reading

The Spirit of Thankfulness

What if I quit listing things that I’m thankful and just sigh, “God, thank you for my whole life?” Not as much fun, but wonderfully all encompasing. Blessings to all. Continue reading

My Way or God’s Way

I have often noticed how we as humans do things backwards from the way God does. Is 55:8 aludes to that, and the whole chapter is about God’s work. This devotion is the result of several things I’ve read lately about people who love animals and hate people, who love a cause and kill to… Continue reading

Asking, Seeking, Knocking and Finding

It amazes me how quickly my attention and asking what’s next shifts from you to what’s happening around me. And I get frustrated when I don’t get answers. In my devotions I was reminded (again) the answers I get from secular places only satisifes the secular. If I want Life answers, I need to ask… Continue reading
