Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. People who despise advice are asking for trouble; those who respect a command will succeed. Proverbs 13:12-13 From childhood through maturity, hope keeps us desiring more out of life. Dreams are a key element for our yearnings for tomorrow. ThatContinue reading “Hope Keeps the Heart Alive”

Once upon a time, creation was put in motion. The universe, stars, earth and all they contained established the foundation for life. The Lord God in His Trinity created all that. No one has or ever will surpass this magnificent orchestration. The human body, with its brain and heart can only come close. When weContinue reading “Trust is the Only Hope”

Diligence is to be rewarded. Hard work is admired. Yes, we should be persistent, but be sure we are on the right track. There are so many projects and objectives to keep us busy and to live productively. When we look back on our lives or someone remembers us when we are gone, what weContinue reading “Be Persistent, But Be Sure We Are On the Right Track”

Jesus taught a parable about dealing with weeds that the enemy plants. There are times when we unnecessarily spend our time fighting and resisting evil interferences in our lives. We might be more productive in our spiritual harvest to spend time nurturing the Word of God and maturing in our faith. In life, we areContinue reading “Sort Out the Weeds”

Come unto Me and I will give you rest is a paraphrase from scripture that offers many rewards. We can find comfort and inspiration when we stay close to the teachings of Jesus. Taking responsibility in our actions that memic His actions is when we learn to live according to His ways. We find restContinue reading “Our Rest is Sweet”

Do you know anyone that seems to crave being in the limelight? Their behavior may be self-centered or it may be a result of insecurity. Or the other hand, to reframe our perspective, let’s think of Jesus. Yes, it is a grandiose comparison! We surely agree that He was not a crowd seeker although crowdsContinue reading “For Such a Time as This”

Keeping a healthy attitude toward others is aligned with a pure heart toward God. How can we have a cold and insensitive core and yet express anything differently to another person. The highest priority in life is to have a right relationship with God. It helps to remember; it is not we that have pureContinue reading “Stay Connected”

“No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 5:8 NLT We plead, we lament and we ask other people, “What should I do?” I regret to say thatContinue reading “This is What the Lord Requires of Us”

Just as Joseph went into Egypt to save his family from famine, God goes before us to provide and protect us. One lesson I am learning is how God provides for TODAY and therefore, it is needless to be over concerned of matters like health or provisions for tomorrow. Today is the ‘present’ (time frame)Continue reading “Rejoice in It!”

Pray with me today for our wellbeing in 2022:  “Lord, You are the Living Well for my physical and spiritual health. You keep my life from being stagnant and infested. You give me refreshment and You give me hydration to fill my spirit with a healthy attitude and renewed love to extend to others inContinue reading “Fill Me Up, Lord!”

A New Year always brings a refreshing ray of hope regardless of circumstances. Most of us think life offers hope 365 days a year. It doesn’t. Life doesn’t always turn lemons into lemonade either. We have a role to play. Our choices make all the difference. Sure, ‘life happens’ and we must ride the tide.Continue reading “Life Offers Hope”

A new year and a new leaf … what is the difference? Each day offers new beginnings. But for the sake of the calendar, treat this day as if it were your first and your last. Hmm, didn’t expect that, did you? If this were our last, what kind of FIRST day would you likeContinue reading “New Beginnings”

Are we pressing forward toward a goal of excellence? A goal that shares the plans God has intended from the time of our conception? Maybe it never entered our minds to consider a joint effort! The plans we make for ourselves are so limited. They may be excellent, but how do they compare to theContinue reading “What Lies Ahead?”

When our lives are in synch with the Spirit of God, we will have the true Spirit of Christmas every day of the year. However, since the calendar tells us that December 25th is the day to celebrate, let me add my words of harmonious greetings of love to you with all the others. WeContinue reading “Christmas Day Everyday”
