Happy Tuesday morning:) It is quite beautiful outside my window this morning. Not sure if this is our “Indian summer” or not but the temperatures are supposed to be about twenty degrees higher than they have been lately and the sun is just too lovely shining through the fall-colored trees. There is a perfect balance… Read More A Fall Morning Encouragement
We have reached mid-October. Although well into the PSL season (which seemed to start forever ago), technically autumn is in its earliest stages. Outside my window, summer’s sunny skies have been absent for quite a spell but the leaves have barely begun to show their colors. Evenings are cool – hooray for sweater weather! –… Read More I’ll Deal with Winter – in the Winter
The promise of Heaven changes everything! I started some thoughts on that last Tuesday and had planned to wrap them up with my next post; however, Friday was my favorite link-up, Share Four Somethings.

And such… Read More Hope that Changes Everything

Or perhaps you more closely identify with one of the more “undistinguished” personalities found throughout scripture. I personally love reading about… Read More The Common Theme of Sacrifice
This weekend is my youngest son’s Heaven birthday. The day God took him to Heaven after an eight-month struggle with an inoperable brain tumor. That was fifteen years ago. Fifteen. Most days – probably more accurately most years, or at least, most seasons – I find much joy and even a peace (that often passes… Read More Three Reminders for This Mother’s Grieving Heart
What is God’s will for my life? No doubt, every Christian has, at least, pondered this question and, at some point, even agonized over it. Knowing that our Heavenly Father has lovely created each of us – designed us with specific and unique strengths (and weaknesses), abilities, and talents in order to fulfill a very… Read More A Key To Knowing His Will
