Don’t Count the Candles
When you are young, you can’t wait to get older. When you are older, you realize you aren’t getting any younger.
Peace in Pain
I encourage you to go to the One who can give you peace and comfort in your time of need.
The Resurrection brings Peace
A long time ago, I would do a lot of hiking and mountain climbing with my husband Bill. We also would climb rocks--big ones--for "fun." He enjoyed that much more than I did but one climb I'll never forget was one clear, spring day more than twenty years ago now.
The Resurrection of Jesus means Presence
What an assurance we've been given. Jesus is always present with us through the Holy Spirit.
Faith to be Strong
There have been many times when I've cried out, "I can't go on! It's too hard!"
Brief Moment in Time
We can't stop the clock. We can't control the future. But we can lean on and trust the One who holds the future. He knows us. Knows our days. Most of all, loves us and wants a relationship with us.
Jewels, Heaven, Perfection
I want to study more about my future abode in heaven. There are more and more people in heaven now than when I was younger. I look forward to meeting them again, but what honestly sounds the sweetest to me is that God promises to live with us there.
Sorrow is Better than Laughter
What about you? Are you in pain, or so sick you almost wished you would die to be relieved of the pain and discomfort? Are you watching someone who is ill or in a severe depression? This may be a gift from God...
An Angel?
The gospels tell about angels appearing to ordinary people, like Mary and Joseph. The apostle Peter. And Jesus in the desert.
A Moment in Time
And only this time of the year, when the sun comes through, it touches an arrangement of flowers on a coffee table.
