New Year’s Resolutions–And a Charmed Marriage
What is your morning routine? Do you read the newspaper, listen to the news, or social media before going to God? Perhaps like me, you've gotten things in the wrong order.
Uncertain Times
Enjoy the day after Thanksgiving. Feast again on the left-overs from yesterday's Thanksgiving meal. Put up your decorations for Christmas if that is your custom. And give thanks. The eternal battle is won!
Promises For Sarah and You
This is to let those who are in deep grief, that the stark sadness will pass, although there is work in getting through grief.
Charmed Marriage – Part Three
Some of you reading this are either widowed or divorced or never married. You can apply this to your roommate, other household members, or even where you work.
A Charmed Marriage, Part Two
It's freeing to be able to communicate honestly with your marriage partner. We believe God intended for marriage to be as close to perfection as it can be on earth. I pray these tips will benefit your marriage, or close relationships.
Home is Best!
It was a great trip. We enjoyed the warm sun one last time before the gray clouds and rainy winter that is ahead of us. We had our travel itch resolved and chased the sun on our flight back west. We were home. And though I love to travel, home is best.
A Charmed Marriage
We often say we are standing on the shoulders of our previous mates. Our previous marriages have benefitted this marriage.
First Things First
I was helped by turning to God's word instead of man's word and I was encouraged! I'm still concerned how this election turns out. We still must pray and I will. Will you join me? And please, take the time to vote and be informed.
You Are Valuable
God made you so you could share in His creation.
Enjoy the Moment
Is that what we do in life? Keep watching in vain for the perfect shot? For something that most likely won't happen? Instead of just enjoying the beauty right in front of us?
We Can Trust
We can trust our Maker. We can only do what we're commanded to do: trust, not knowing the future, and let Him carry us in his arms......Like the shepherd who often carries the lamb.
Smoky Skies
That is true with grief. At one point--perhaps a longer time than you would like, you will get to the other side of grief. I can tell you it's true, for I've been there.
Smoky Fog, Shorter Days
I don't remember his words, but sensed calm assurance and willingness to talk and pray with us.
Trust God: See All
We don't know what's around the next corner, but we do know who will carry and deliver us. That's a promise for you, too.
What Is God’s Will?
What about the command: never stop praying? I admit sometimes I do more complaining about the situation than praying.
Addressing Fear
We are commanded to worship the Creator, not His Creation. Yet, His creation is a reminder of our amazing God and these photos are a reminder of that.
The Wonders
This week, I plan to reflect on the wonders He has done. Will you join me?
It’s OK to Ask Why
What about those why questions? Ask God the hard questions. He's not threatened by them. Ask God to enlarge your understanding of what is good. Realize we can't do this journey of life on our own. Ask God to take this brokenness and make something good out of it.
