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

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.

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 –
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!
“Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God.” Feel Jesus’ invitation for peace during this coming Holy Week.
We look at this last Beatitude on peace during Holy Week. This week is not a celebration until that stone is rolled from the tomb and our Jesus has risen – for us and for our sins. So, peace is our focus this week. Humor me - Write on a piece of paper, “If… Continue reading “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God.” Feel Jesus’ invitation for peace during this coming Holy Week.
Meek – How do we follow Jesus’ example of meekness?
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” There are so many thoughts that come to mind when I read these holy words from Jesus. What is He trying to tell us? I’m thinking, who wants to be labeled as meek? In our world today that’s a sign of weakness, isn’t it? Can… Continue reading Meek – How do we follow Jesus’ example of meekness?
