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.
Spirit – A fresh look at the Beatitudes during this season of Lent.
I was captivated while watching the movie, “The Chosen”, an inspiring series of Jesus’ life from the start of his ministry. One of the most moving parts for me was the last episode of Season 2. Jesus is preparing to give his most important Sermon on the Mount and practices his speech by reading it… Continue reading Spirit – A fresh look at the Beatitudes during this season of Lent.
Steps – During this season of Lent, let’s recall what steps Jesus took for us, by taking the steps to follow Him more closely.
I remember the first time my husband and I decided, in an attempt to save money, to lay our own flooring in our last home. When anyone attempts to begin a project like that, we know how important it is to just follow all the steps. You don’t get to a quality finished project by… Continue reading Steps – During this season of Lent, let’s recall what steps Jesus took for us, by taking the steps to follow Him more closely.
Saved – We are a new beginning AND always a work in progress
Are you a saver or do you take great pleasure in decluttering? I find myself, as I’ve gotten older, that balancing the importance of holding onto things of sentimental value vs the feeling I get when throwing out the old is difficult. I’ve collected many things over the years. There was the time of collecting… Continue reading Saved – We are a new beginning AND always a work in progress
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
