If you’ve been following us (that’s Jesus and me) each week by reading From God’s Lips, you probably know a little, through the stories shared, about some of my experiences and faith journey. But my stories are no match for the story we celebrate this coming week and every Christmas past. How can any of… Continue reading Story

Nativity
It’s that time of the year again, although the stores and television commercials seemed way ahead of me. For my husband and I, it’s been a week of busyness, pulling out the many, familiar plastic bins and boxes full of carefully wrapped Christmas decorations and ornaments. I must admit, especially as we age, this time… Continue reading Nativity
Real
At the time, when this word spoke to me, I had been feeling a little lost and struggling with making time for prayers each day. I remember praying that morning more urgently to Jesus to feel His real presence, like I have experienced so many times in the past. Now, especially with today being the… Continue reading Real
Wise
What is the first image that comes to mind when you hear that word? It’s an easy answer for me – the three wise men following the star.

What does this special time of the year mean? I looked up the definition which inspired me right… Continue reading Arrival
Celebrate
In the quiet of the evening, as the sky starts to darken, my eyes wander around our house, looking at the results of our many hours (days) of Christmas decorating. In our family room alone, we have displays of so many special Santas, snowmen, treasured lighted houses, and nativities. These are collected treasures over the… Continue reading Celebrate
Today
How often do we live in the past or worry about the future? We tend to ignore the beauty of today – the opportunities of today - the blessings of just today. I was reminded of this during a telephone conversation with my sister. She was sharing with me her traditions in the start of… Continue reading Today
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
