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

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

The word seek wouldn’t necessarily be identified as a positive word.  It would depend on what you are seeking and if you are successful in your discovery.  Is it fame or fortune?  Or maybe you are seeking peace or just want to be loved.   Another thought came to my mind when that word spoke to… Continue reading Seek

Safe

I felt this word deeply due to a recent incident that a close friend experienced.  It made me think back to when in my life I haven’t felt safe.  I apologize for taking the negative on this word, but I think until we feel unsafe, we don’t realize how blessed we are when we ARE… Continue reading Safe

“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.
