In the almost 49 years of marriage (officially September) my husband and I have called four different residences our home. With each move, we saw it as the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for us, while still holding onto the many fond memories of each that we still reminisce about today. In addition… Continue reading Carry

Fresh
During these warmer summer months, the cooling word of fresh brings so many images to my mind. I can picture the clothesline in our back yard that held freshly washed sheets and that wonderful fresh fragrance that now only comes in the form of dryer sheets or fabric softener. I think of summertime and the… Continue reading Fresh
Grace
This is scary. So many times, this word comes to mind, but I’m never quite sure how to put something down on paper. Today, the word grace whispered to me, but I, again, chose to file the word for another time. Then, I went to do the scripture readings for the day. What was today’s… Continue reading Grace
Freedom
I remember taking a school field trip with my fellow classmates to the city known for freedom – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. What impressed me the most was seeing the Liberty Bell with its infamous crack and reading the story behind it. When we were younger, did we really understand what freedom meant and how blessed we… Continue reading Freedom
Women
You may assume you know where I’m going with this very special word, but I may disappoint you.

Complete
I need to take a positive spin on this word. Complete brings up a little shiver inside me, as completing tasks is a challenge for me. When I’m cleaning the house or working on a project, I find it very difficult to focus and complete a room. Maybe you’re one of those individuals that find… Continue reading Complete
Change
A memory came rushing to me as I was sitting in church, upon hearing that word whisper in my mind. I was sixteen years old again and sitting on my parents’ front porch listening to my record player and singing to the song “Hey Jude” by the Beatles. The boy that I had met the… Continue reading Change
Behold
If you have been reading From God’s Lips this past year, you’ve probably noticed that our family of three took a giant leap and moved to the sunny coast of Florida. There were many reasons for the location we chose, but there was an additional bonus we didn’t expect. We are approximately an hour and… Continue reading Behold
Litany (of thanks)
Are you still in pilgrim mode? I pray that you are still walking with me on this journey towards “your sacred place.” Were you able to walk the labyrinth last week in contemplation? If not, there is always time to make a commitment to walk with God. Remember, our journey is not… Continue reading Litany (of thanks)
Pilgrim
Do you remember the definition of Pilgrim? Just a reminder – “a person who journeys to a sacred place for religious reasons.” Can you imagine the necessary planning the pilgrims of long ago must have done, preparing for the long journey to a new and unfamiliar land? Their goal was… Continue reading Pilgrim
