The Blessings in the Uneventful
As I sat down to write today’s post, I wasn’t sure what I would write. I had a blessedly uneventful weekend, with no children with an appendicitis. I bought groceries and cleaned my house. On Sunday, I returned my parents’ dogs to them and got to hear a little bit about their trip to Niagara … Continue reading
Lessons from a Leper
Last week, our sermon was on the ten lepers that Jesus healed. Lepers, in the Bible, lived on the edge of society. They had to call out to anyone who came near them, to warn them they were unclean. Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem for Passover when the lepers cried out to Him. … Continue reading
Acorn Inspiration
As Fall attempts to show itself in my neck of the woods, the mornings are much cooler. Some of the leaves are turning colors, but at the moment, most of our trees are stubbornly holding onto them and most of them are still green. But, one of the biggest signs for me that Fall is … Continue reading
Trust and Obey
Our Old Testament reading in church last week, was on Naaman. I have always appreciated that story and found myself reading through it again. It’s found in 2 Kings 5. Naaman was a valiant warrior and the Bible says that through him, the Lord had given victory to Aram. We might want to take note … Continue reading
Open the Eyes of My Heart
Last Sunday morning, our praise and worship team lead us in the song, “Open the Eyes of My Heart.” The song asks God to, “Open the eyes of my heart Lord, I want to see you.” It continues to a chorus of, “Holy, holy, holy, I want to see you.” I love that song. I … Continue reading
Happy Fall
My kids have the day off today. We have a very short fall break, so I’m taking this day to enjoy my family and soak up the beauty that only comes this time of year. We certainly have a creative Creator. I hope you have an awesome day! Wendy 🙂
Answered Prayers
On September the 10th, I wrote about my friend, our school nurse, Ivy. I shared that she has ALS and that she was on medical leave. I shared that she’s a woman of very strong faith, a true prayer warrior. I wrote about her sharing with me that she believes that she will be healed. … Continue reading
Puff Ball Wisdom
A couple of days ago, during our morning rush in the office, a little kindergartener came in and tossed a medium sized puff ball on the counter. “This is not my puff ball!” he said angrily. I took it from him and chuckled to myself wondering why he was so offended by a small fluffy … Continue reading
Mustard Seed Perspective
Our sermon last Sunday, was about Jesus and the mustard seed faith discussion found in Luke. I have always enjoyed that part of scripture because I knew that mustard seeds are small, but a few years ago, for a middle school Sunday school class, I actually went out and bought some mustard seeds so the … Continue reading
Watching for the Flags
On Sunday after church, my family decided to go for a walk at the Botanical Gardens. We all had individual projects to work on, but the weather was so wonderful, that it felt wrong for us not to get out an enjoy it. We are big believers that God has His fingerprints all over nature … Continue reading
