Listening for love.
Fast and Slow
True confessions. I am a terrible faster! On a normal day I don’t think much about food but if I decide to fast for any reason, food is all I think about! Can you relate?
Believing!
“A short-cut!” my husband exclaimed and off he traipsed across the lake-bed. I was a small distance behind and watched as he blazed a new trail only to end up thigh deep in mud!
Peace Be With You
Sometimes when I read a passage I can feel the Holy Spirit ask if I’d like to hang out a while. The invitation felt irresistible this morning as I read Jesus’ words, “ Peace be with you!”
Here I Am, Lord
Moses was about the business of a normal day when he encountered God. I doubt he was expecting to meet an angel on route to the west side of the wilderness, let alone in the middle of a blazing fire!
Beautiful For Jesus
I love words that make me smile and have some definite favorites! “Nard”, for example. Say it and see if you don’t smile! Now I admit that it was this word that caught my attention today as I read Mark Chapter 14…
Jesus Wept
I love that Jesus wept. Initially, I didn’t understand why Jesus wept for Lazarus when He must have known that He could raise Him from the dead!
Take A Minute...
When I look out the big picture window in our home my eyes are immediately drawn to the peak that seems to stand watch over us. It’s irresistible! I can’t help but look at it every day, several times a day because its face changes with the light and I don’t want to miss even one of its beautiful declarations!
In All Circumstances
What is God’s will for me? This is likely a familiar question for many of us who read this verse. In my work as a spiritual companion, I’ve sat with many people from age 9 to 90 who earnestly and sometimes, desperately, want to know God’s will — “Which, what and where, Lord? Help me to find and follow You.”
I Can't Know That!
“How come you have five toes? Why are your eyes blue? Where do caterpillars come from? My 4 year old granddaughter and I were sitting crossed legged on the floor playing when I asked her these silly questions.
Dwelling
Tax prep-check, load dishwasher-check, shop for dinner-check, doctor appointment-check. Wait. The man in the hospital elevator wants to talk?
