Psalm 107:8 (NIV®) “Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind,” Thanksgiving and the holiday season can be the best and worst time of the year. Families gather and that can be good for some and not so good for others. Busy days filled with preparations […]
James 1:25a (NKJV) “But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty…” Have you noticed how everyone is concerned about freedom these days? I‘m free to do this. I’m free to do that. I can say what I want. Don’t suppress my voice. I can do what I want. Stop telling me what to

Psalms 34:1 (NKJV) “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Today I write a reminder to bless the Lord. On more than one occasion this week, I have needed to be reminded. The little word “all” in this scripture sounds impossible but I’ve learned that the
Deuteronomy 30:19 (NKJV) “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;” It is that time of year again.

Mark 8:18 (NKJV) “Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And do you not remember?” Today’s post is a gentle reminder to slow down and focus. We get so caught up in work, games, maintenance or whatever that we sometimes miss what God is doing around us and
Proverbs 3:6 (NKJV) “In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” I’m gradually learning a valuable lesson. It is the simple action of including God in my decisions. All of them. There have been big moves and little moves where I could have easily done what I wanted or what I
Ephesians 5:8 (NIV®) “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.” You’ve seen how creative some people can be. An old milk crate is used as shelves or drawers. A door is used as a headboard for a bed. Even a 50 gallon drum, with

Hebrews 12:1b (NKJV) “let us lay aside every weight, and the sin that so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” I have to say, it is the hardest thing I have done in a long time. I thought I was ready. I felt like it
