As children, we don’t always remember being generous in our actions, except maybe for the times our parents encouraged us to share our toys with others. I have fond memories of my neighborhood carnival days, advertised by Muscular Dystrophy charity to help them raise money for their charity. At the age of 10, was the… Continue reading Generous – How can we better serve God through giving?

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.
Mountains – Experiencing God through nature and family memories
Sitting quietly with this word this morning, it didn’t make sense to me, but I knew there must be a purpose. The regular words that inspire me and feel drawn to always focus on the positive. But I then I visualize mountain tops and a simple smile of acknowledgement came across my lips. “Yes, I… Continue reading Mountains – Experiencing God through nature and family memories
Calling – Can you hear His voice calling to you?
I have fond memories of my childhood days growing up in a neighborhood full of simple rowhomes, but also a neighborhood rich in both loving families and great friends. Especially during the summer months, all my time was spent outside playing – hopscotch, roller skating (when you needed to use a key for your skates)… Continue reading Calling – Can you hear His voice calling to you?
Angels -There are angels all around us – just be aware
Have you ever had an encounter with an angel? I know I have. Here’s my story. What started out as a beautiful day cruising across the Chesapeake Bay, quickly turned into a dark and stormy end to an enjoyable weekend on our small cruising boat. The blinding and pelting rain, plus increased winds, made for… Continue reading Angels -There are angels all around us – just be aware
Burst! – Finding joy on our journey of faith
Not burst in the sense of a balloon bursting but bursting with joy! That should be our resolution this year – to burst with joy. I hate the same New Year’s resolutions that we profess each year. I vow to lose weight, I resolve to be more patient and kind to others or I promise… Continue reading Burst! – Finding joy on our journey of faith
Knowledge
You have one wish, to either choose between being given knowledge of the mind or knowledge of the heart. Which would you choose? I’ve never claimed to be a person of intellect. I dislike playing trivia games, or any game that requires knowing facts in an instant. I even recall, with a smirk on my… Continue reading Knowledge
Hallelujah!
https://youtu.be/V9ORdDGgzu8 If there was ever a time to use this word it is now. Let's say it out loud, with joy and celebration - Hallelujah - a savior has been born! I did things backwards this week because this song is a different version (my preferred one) of the Hallelujah song. I've used that word… Continue reading Hallelujah!
Gifts
We are presented with many gifts during our lifetime. Some of them are things you can hold in your hands and immediately appreciate. Other gifts are not as noticeable and may take time to fully identify them as gifts. Many times we cringe and would like to just return our gift. One of those so-called… Continue reading Gifts
Tidings
The word tidings is a descriptive word used when announcing recent news events about to happen. It’s like that old commercial when the actor mentions what E.F. Hutton says, and everyone in the room, upon hearing that name, is immediately silent, waiting to hear what he’s going to say. Shouldn’t our ears also perk up… Continue reading Tidings
Prepare
The first thought that comes to my mind, as Jesus whispers this word to me is, “Prepare the way of the Lord.” And that’s exactly what we should be doing this time of year. We are anticipating and preparing for a very important guest at our Christmas celebrations. I have so many fond memories of… Continue reading Prepare
