The Creator Seen, Behind the Scenes!
Everywhere Jesus went, there was an atmosphere of peace and joyful praises to His heavenly Father.

A Blessing in Disguise
I have always loved the flavor of many different teas. I was in the process of steeping a cup of tea, when I noticed some information on the wrapper. It said, “The first tea bags were used for organizing samples of teas for buyers, who mistakenly brewed the tea still in their tiny silk bags.”…

ONE THING
Our Lord Jesus emphasizes that the most important thing that a child of God should do is sit at His feet as He explained to Martha who was so busy and criticized her sister, Mary for not helping her. He told Martha, “Only one thing is needful” (Luke10:42). He told the self-righteous young ruler, “One…

His Masterpieces in Progress
We can’t imagine how Jesus could take this situation and make a masterpiece with it but we know with Him all things are possible (Mat.19:26). Jesus’ life was broken as an alabaster box and His life was released for all to receive. As we cooperate with our Lord allowing Him to work in our lives,…

Jesus’ Secret Service Agent
He whispered to a heart today His very special request. He wants a service done for Him with no one seeing. She could be Jesus’ secret service agent! This particular family has been on His heart since before the foundation of the world. He has given an assignment to bless these in His name. When…

Fallen Hero
Fallen Hero We honor still Always remembered Reaching for the grail Protector of the lives residing Keeping watch with Jesus tiding Once more we lift His name on high Raising His banner to the sky Hear the sound of reveille Awakened to eternal victory No longer fallen But raised with Christ Who made the supreme…

Focusing, How do we?
There are so many voices in the world, so many distractions. I’m sure so many things are just time consuming. Sometimes this life presents an accumulation of too many events that accomplish very little for Jesus. We can become overwhelmed with each day’s activities, never coming to an understanding of what Jesus has for us…

Changed to Fly!
When I think of the many attributes of my heavenly Father and how He is changing me by His Spirit to be like Jesus, I am so humbled. In this process, I am changed to fly! I think of words such as His love, peace, joy, righteousness, goodness, mercy, faithfulness, kindness, grace, glory, light, truth…

I was appointed to pray
This morning when I woke, I sat in the breakfast room where I sit to talk to Jesus. I lifted up my family and friends to the Lord especially our daughter’s neighbor, Jack. He has a serious leg injury. I was appointed to pray for him and through a series of events he will be…

New Volunteer
When I woke this morning I prayed asking the Lord for new friendships and to be a part of a new volunteer ministry. I walked into the kitchen to pour a cup of coffee and heard the doorbell. Who could that be? It was Fed Ex asking me to sign for a flower delivery. I…

The Right Diet
When you hear the word “diet,” do you think as I do; starving yourself from things that you really love to eat? Well, I have to admit, when I write or drive; being a little more sedentary, I’ve gained a few pounds. I’m thinking, “I just need the right diet!” My friend said, “I can…

Are You A Fisherman?
Jesus is sending you and me out to catch fish. He says, “From now on you will be catching people!” (Luke 5:10 CSB). Are You A Fisherman? Peter fished for a living. This is how he fed his family. When Jesus finished preaching on Peter’s boat, He told Peter, “Now go out where it is…

Fruitful Boughs
One morning, I was driving down a street in my neighborhood, and a very impressive sight caught my eye. I saw a brick wall with a fruitful bough of oranges spilling over the wall into the street. This was such a lovely sight. It reminded me of how the Lord likes to see our lives,…

Moments with My Master
He is so wonderful to let me see Him in my ordinary day; which some might consider being mundane. I think of these precious times as moments with my master. He reveals Himself to me in the quiet of the day. He let me see the sunrise this morning; my puppy sniffing a petunia flower.…

Harvest is Plentiful
Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful.” I can just hear Him say, “Reach this one for Me.” When Jesus walked the earth, He saw people, not as a mass of humanity, but individuals whom He loved. Many had a form of religion but didn’t know the reality of God in their lives. His heart was…

It’s All in the Pattern
Some of us have had the privilege of being part of a family of talented mothers, grandmothers and aunts that do crewel embroidery or other forms of art with thread. Even if you haven’t, maybe you have held a work of tapestry that was in the making or stood back and gazed at it hoping…

Willingness to be Used for His Purpose
All the flower petals that we pluck in life should be our “willingness” to choose the demonstration of love. True love should be revealed not as chance but as a choice to demonstrate “willingness” every time a petal of a flower is plucked. It should not be “here’s a willingness * here’s an unwillingness *…

His Portrait Magnified
Anyone that visits our home can see what I collect. My collection of photography is unending. I am trying to develop new ways of displaying all my precious loved ones’ pictures. Some are pictures of loved ones of days long past and some are precious loved ones who have gone on to be with Jesus;…
