The word warmth takes me back to my childhood.  With colder weather approaching, I am reminded of the warmth I experienced, living in our family’s two-story row home.   As a child, I would very often squeeze behind our living room couch and put my, then petite, frame smack up against the heating register.  I enjoyed… Continue reading Warmth

Have you ever felt it?  It may have been in the midst of chaos or even a quiet moment to yourself.   Suddenly, without expectation, you feel it, as if it seems to wash over you.  Maybe, at that moment, you can’t explain it and wonder what that feeling is.  Many even ignore it, attributing it… Continue reading Feeling

A common question asked during a job interview is, “Are you a leader or a follower?”  If you were ever asked that, do you remember what your answer was?  And if you had to answer that question again now, would your reply be different?  To describe ourselves as followers may seem, to some, to be… Continue reading Follow

Now there’s a positive word!  Many of us think of ourselves as a Christian and that’s the true path Jesus desires us to follow.  However, there are many that would consider that word to be a negative, which is most unfortunate.  Their impression of that label is, as Christians, we think we are better than… Continue reading Christian

I have to admit (can you?) my patience seems to run thin way too often.  Waiting never seems easy, and many times painful.  Do we choose to pray for answers, or should we be praying for the patience to endure instead?  Waiting causes us to grow weary, instead of being appreciative of the wait.  I… Continue reading Patience

Who doesn’t jump at the chance to be included on the invite list of that special party everyone is talking about?  If we find out through the grapevine that we were left off the list, it causes us worry and even a little jealousy. My husband and I used to have an annual “after tax… Continue reading Invitation

I couldn’t get this word out of my head. When I awoke in the middle of the night, it was foremost in my thoughts and kept going around and around in my head.  Why?  I trusted that’s what we’re supposed to focus on this week – strength.  Where do you get your strength?  I’m not… Continue reading Strength

What does your prayer time look like?  Do you have a special place or time of the day that you sit quietly with Jesus?  Or are you talking with him throughout your day? I wonder if we did a survey, posing those same questions, if we wouldn’t be surprised by the answers.  I must admit… Continue reading Prayer

The power of touch can come in many different forms, but each one is just as important to our well being. When was the last time you received a hug from someone?  It may have been just this morning. How did that gentle hug or a kiss from a loved one make you feel?  … Continue reading Touch
