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!

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

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

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

When we are growing up, we don’t understand how the world looks at and deals with money and its value.  I saw my allowance of 50 cents a week definitely as riches to me at the time.  My husband will roll his eyes, but still laughs, when I recall a few of the stories from… Continue reading Riches

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
