It’s Christmas Day. Our tiny savior, Jesus, is born to Mary and Joseph, the very epitome of a gift from God for all of us. There is no need for a story today from me because He already holds the best story of all! I chose the word gloria because the song you’ll listen to… Continue reading Gloria

Why follow From God's Lips?
In our busy world, our soul desires quiet time with God. His desire is that we spend time with him, focusing only our building our relationship with him. He wants to hear our words speaking to Him - our needs, concerns and definitely remembering to give Him thanks for everything - both in joy and sorrow. God is calling you to spend time with him through the positive words He has placed in my heart. I hope you will, along with me, share and grow in His love.
Behold
If you have been reading From God’s Lips this past year, you’ve probably noticed that our family of three took a giant leap and moved to the sunny coast of Florida. There were many reasons for the location we chose, but there was an additional bonus we didn’t expect. We are approximately an hour and… Continue reading Behold
Still
Let’s face it, for most of us, it’s not in our nature to be still. Many of our days are filled with appointments, tasks, and checking off items on our to-do lists. For myself, looking back over the past three years, which included selling two family homes, downsizing furniture, and items too many to mention,… Continue reading Still
Celebrate
In the quiet of the evening, as the sky starts to darken, my eyes wander around our house, looking at the results of our many hours (days) of Christmas decorating. In our family room alone, we have displays of so many special Santas, snowmen, treasured lighted houses, and nativities. These are collected treasures over the… Continue reading Celebrate
Sharing
Only remnants remain of our Thanksgiving celebrations, however small or large. Now, we are continuing on the next part of our journey into Advent. The three wise men were definitely pilgrims, being guided towards a very sacred place, a simple manger in a stable, holding the Christ child. Their plan? Following a… Continue reading Sharing
Tabernacle
Where do you feel the Lord’s presence most on your journey as a pilgrim? The word Tabernacle literally means “place of dwelling and was so called in the belief that God literally lived within its sacred confines.” Wherever the Israelites made camp on their journey, the tabernacle was set up in the precise center of… Continue reading Tabernacle
Litany (of thanks)
Are you still in pilgrim mode? I pray that you are still walking with me on this journey towards “your sacred place.” Were you able to walk the labyrinth last week in contemplation? If not, there is always time to make a commitment to walk with God. Remember, our journey is not… Continue reading Litany (of thanks)
Pilgrim
Do you remember the definition of Pilgrim? Just a reminder – “a person who journeys to a sacred place for religious reasons.” Can you imagine the necessary planning the pilgrims of long ago must have done, preparing for the long journey to a new and unfamiliar land? Their goal was… Continue reading Pilgrim
Pilgrims
Giving thanks during this upcoming month is our traditional focus; and it’s pretty much assumed that we will all experience the visual of that perfect Thanksgiving meal that includes that golden, juicy roasted turkey, stuffing, apple pie and all the trimmings! I can even smell those familiar aromas escaping from our kitchen. Every year we… Continue reading Pilgrims
Sparkle
How many things can you think of that sparkle? It may be the sequins neatly sewn on your daughter’s princess Halloween costume or maybe it’s the sparkle you see in the eyes of someone that loves you. The word sparkle brings to me both new memories being made and old ones that I cherish. New… Continue reading Sparkle
