Do you not know? Have you not heard?The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar… Continue reading Now You Know!
Weeping
When I was a kid, in school or Sunday Bible class the teachers would often tell us to memorize a Bible verse. Our ‘go-to’ was always the shortest verse, John 11:35 “Jesus wept.” The experiences of life have brought new meaning to this verse. As one who has weeped (literally weeped!) a few times in… Continue reading Weeping
On the Edge
This afternoon after work, I had to stop at the grocery store for a few things. Living in a small town, I almost always see someone I know. Sure enough, I saw two people. But the one who made the biggest impression was the one I didn’t know. As I walked down the isles, there… Continue reading On the Edge
Easter
When I was a growing up, Easter meant always getting a new dress and shoes; white shoes because it wasn’t until after Easter that you could wear white shoes. Now that I am much older, Easter means more than a new outfit. For the last few weeks our minister has been presenting lessons on the… Continue reading Easter
But I Love To!
When my oldest was little and we corrected her telling her to stop doing something, often she would say, “But I love to!” Yesterday was the first day of mowing season here on the farm. I love to be on the mower especially with the sun shining down on me and seeing all of God’s… Continue reading But I Love To!
Turn It Off!
Yesterday, I was behind an SUV at a red light, and I noticed the back windshield wiper was broken off. As I looked closer, I saw that even though it wasn’t attached, the mechanism was turned on. The little stubb without the wiper would move every few seconds, back and forth, side to side. It… Continue reading Turn It Off!
The Comfort of Gray Hair
I believe the Bible is God’s love story to and for us. But I also believe the Bible and its many verses are for our comfort. Lately, as I see the signs of myself growing older, it is even more comforting. One verse in particular I found has become one of my favorites. Isaiah 46:4… Continue reading The Comfort of Gray Hair
Sisters
I almost feel sorry for those who do not have siblings. Both my adult girls live near each other, and I am very thankful. Here’s one reason… Friday, my youngest was attacked by a dog. Now, when your child, no matter the age, gets hurt, all you want to do is run to her or… Continue reading Sisters
The Right Words
Last September when I left school for a new job, it was difficult in many ways. Most people were supportive and some others were verbally and emotionally not. I don’t remember anyone saying anything that made it better. But maybe that’s because we tend to focus on the bad more than the good. I have… Continue reading The Right Words
Beauty
Yesterday morning our electricity flashed several times then finally was off all morning. Turned out to be a tree fell on power lines down the street, but there’s nothing like taking a shower in the dark and trying to put on makeup by flashlight. As I was getting ready for work by the small light… Continue reading Beauty
