Happy Monday morning! I had thought I would avoid the computer – particularly the “land of blogs” – today as I knew (or suspected) there were plenty of posts recapping lovely moments and sweet events from yesterday. And I just did not think it best for me to read through…

Succeeding In What Matters
Last week, I left you with a quote from Dwight Moody that I had been mulling over and suggested that I would share some of my own takeaways from it with you. Well, I went on to join some link-ups and wrote some other posts last week and, truthfully, almost…

How Was Your Week?
When I enter a group – at church, for instance – after saying hello (of course), I typically ask, “Have you had a good day?” I might inquire about a “good week” depending on how long it has been since we last chatted. I’m not exactly sure when or why…

When It’s More Than Messy Hair
The struggle is real. This morning, apparently, the struggle was real for me to get this post up. Sigh. Some days, it is simply a “bad hair day” but whatever the struggle, we probably can all relate in some way. Usually, when we hear (or use) the phrase, we just…

A Fall Morning Encouragement
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. …

I’ll Deal with Winter – in the Winter
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 –…

My Relationships Change As Well
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. But I did want to add a final thought to how the truths of Heaven make…

How Heaven Changes Me
I mentioned the promise of Heaven – the comfort that gives and the hope it offers – last week. I have received several sweet comments, thoughts, emails, and prayers…and I am so very grateful for each one. Without a doubt, they have made a difference. As I said on Friday,…

Hope that Changes Everything
The last day of my latest attempt at a writing challenge. I wasn’t exactly successful completing it; however, I really enjoy the use of prompts. I enjoy stretching my thoughts and the challenge of expressing myself in a limited amount of time (and words). Today’s prompt is hope. Hope. Such…

The Common Theme of Sacrifice
Do you have a favorite Bible character? A hero of the faith? Maybe you never cease to be encouraged by a well-loved and well-known saint found in Hebrews 11 – the Hall of Faith. Or perhaps you more closely identify with one of the more “undistinguished” personalities found throughout scripture. …

Three Reminders for This Mother’s Grieving Heart
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 Key To Knowing His Will
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…
