Hope Continues…

  Lamentations 3:22-24- The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.  “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.”   My grand-daughter Coco just...

HOPE

  Hope is a rare commodity these days. With the New Year in just a couple of days, I think hope is something to ponder. Not just for ourselves, but for others too.  2 Thessalonians 2:16-17-May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his...

The Lord Gives and the Lord Takes Away. Be comforted.

This is Hard!  My dear sweet daughter, Kiley, lost her baby last night.  She miscarried.  Here is the last picture of our “Little Bean” that was taken weeks ago. This little one does not look like this now in heaven. I am convinced of this. But, he/she is a cute...

Living in a Box

Have you seen the video of the cat named Maru who loves to lay and just simply be in a box? It’s very funny and makes me giggle when I see this silly cat squeeze his fat furry body into any box left by his master.   Of course, you know me, I began wondering how it...

The Morning After

The Morning after I wrote the blog about grousing, we woke up to find 8 inches of water pouring into our basement from a broken pipe outside in the yard.  The work is not finished yet, but well on its way-That was almost two months ago. I’ve been afraid to blog ever...

To Grouse or Not to Grouse-That Is The Question.

I’ve been thinking about the condition of my heart lately. Not my physical heart, but my spiritual one. To be honest, both need my attention, but lately, the one where God dwells has been heavy on my mind.   Grousing comes to mind when I think of my heart condition....

Son Shine

                              Readers beware-extensive bragging ahead!  Our son, Bill Jr. just came up for a visit. It was whirlwind, too fast for my hubby, who shed tears on his pillow knowing Bill was leaving the next day, but it was well worth it to see him and...

Hidden in the Shadow of His Wings

            I feel like dry bones. A better description might be the proverbial hamster on the wheel-going around and round, feeling exhausted, but not really going anywhere.  I know we all feel counter-productive at times. Ours days are reactive instead of organized...

Heavens Been on My Mind

Heaven has been much on my mind of late. When a good friend dies and you know without any doubt that he now abides there, it does cause you to long for heaven a bit more than you did before.  Confidence in his destiny comes from knowing of his faith in Jesus. He knew...

The Tale of the Hard Heart

My heart grew hard.  Crazy thing is I didn’t know it. I went along from day to day thinking everything was okay-it wasn’t. I wasn’t.  God knew I had a broken heart. He knew I had good reason to grieve. And, He would have comforted me with His love and His Word, had I...
