I apologize. It really is the word that spoke to me this morning. It’s not a positive word on the surface, although most picnics that we’ve experienced hold some great memories and fun. But to connect picnics and Jesus? I think this may be my biggest challenge. I do recall a memory of one of… Continue reading Picnic

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.
Awake
This word brings to mind a story for me that helps me connect to how important it is to always be awake. My husband always teases me about the time we drove to visit his brother in New Hampshire. One the way up there, the day was gloomy and rainy. He jokes (but unfortunately, it’s… Continue reading Awake
Safe
I felt this word deeply due to a recent incident that a close friend experienced. It made me think back to when in my life I haven’t felt safe. I apologize for taking the negative on this word, but I think until we feel unsafe, we don’t realize how blessed we are when we ARE… Continue reading Safe

Is there a difference between the word like vs. the word love? I’m sure you’re nodding your head - of course there is! I think loving someone would be a part of a deeper and committed relationship. You don’t just call them on the phone or spend time with them out of obligation. No matter… Continue reading Like –

Positive – Although my focus on these weekly words “from God’s lips” are always words that have a positive spin, I felt drawn this time to use that very same word – positive. Do you consider yourself a positive person – you know, glass half full versus half empty? For me, if a worry arises,… Continue reading Positive –
Clear – Open your eyes and see!
“The Sound of Music” is one of my favorite all time movies. I have fond memories of my mom taking me to see the movie when I was only 11 years old. I also love one of the songs, “My Favorite Things”, sung by the star, Julie Andrews. Another thought that comes to mind, as… Continue reading Clear – Open your eyes and see!
Thank you – He listens with an intentive ear for our thank yous.
How many times do we forget to say thank you to not only the ones we love, but even to a stranger? I know I try to be very aware of saying my thank-yous. While out to dinner I once asked our waitress, who was taking care of us, “How often do customers say thank… Continue reading Thank you – He listens with an intentive ear for our thank yous.
Light – Be the light of Christ for all to see
I remember visiting the Luray Caverns, located in the Shenandoah mountains of Virginia as a young girl, with my parents. Many years later, I returned to that area with my husband and, again, took the tour of these amazing caverns. The guided tour we travelled has lighted pathways, illuminating our way so we could all… Continue reading Light – Be the light of Christ for all to see
King – Bow in the presence of true royalty
I have to admit I’ve never met a real King or, for that matter, been in the presence of any royalty (except the time I saw Lady Diana drive a Mini Cooper out the gates of Buckingham Palace). Being in a King or Queen’s presence requires paying attention to proper etiquette and showing the proper… Continue reading King – Bow in the presence of true royalty
Crosses – We rejoice in the cross today – Hallelujah!
Crosses are a sign of hope and they also hold a special significance in my life. During Lent, I lovingly choose a different cross necklace each day to wear, each holding its own story of where they came from. Our 40 days of Lent have been a time of sacrifice and reflection, recalling the story… Continue reading Crosses – We rejoice in the cross today – Hallelujah!
