Fruit Tree Lessons
My Daddy grew up farming. He was one of eight children and they barely got by. I’ve often heard him tell stories of the hard work he and his siblings did, out in the hot Georgia sun, plowing the fields with a mule. They ended up moving into town when he was in high school … Continue reading
The Power of Prayer and Praise
I’m participating in an online Bible study on the books of Chronicles. They are the history of God’s relationship with His people. There are examples of both good and bad kings and lots of examples of the downright failure of humankind to stay faithful to God. King Jehoshaphat was one of the good kings and … Continue reading
Why We Come Together to Worship
My hubby and I visited a church for the first time last week. We didn’t know a soul there which was part of the reason why we chose it. It was housed in an old warehouse with exposed brick. As we waited for the service to begin, I marveled at how the congregation elected to … Continue reading
Have a Great Weekend
I have been out of town all week visiting family with no time to write. I hope to see you back in this space next week. Have a wonderful weekend. Wendy 😊
Jesus Knows Your Name
I recently heard a sermon where the pastor talked about the account in Matthew 26, where the woman pours very expensive perfume, Nard, on Jesus. While the disciples were appalled at what they considered a waste of precious resources, Jesus praised her. “Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what … Continue reading
Reflections on an Early Spring
We have been blessed with some amazingly early spring weather this past week. It’s only February and it’s been sunny and in the 70’s. As southerners, we have a tendency to talk about the weather anyway. I suppose it’s in our DNA which stems from our agrarian roots. This week it seems everyone is talking … Continue reading
The Power of the Word
Last weekend, my son, who is away at college, came home for a visit. I hadn’t seen him since the Christmas break so I was happy to have him home. He will graduate in May and this mama is acutely aware that after graduation, he will likely be working and his visits may be few … Continue reading
His Creative Provision
On Tuesday of this week, I complained to my hubby about being bored. Don’t get me wrong, I have lots going on. This season has been particularly busy for me, but I was longing for a creative project. Normally, in January, I get motivated to paint a room or re-do a piece of furniture. But, … Continue reading
Daffodil Reminders
I am not a fan of winter. I don’t like cold weather. I typically have no energy in January and February. All I really want to do is sleep. One year, I was so winter tired, I had my thyroid checked because I knew I must have had a physical issue. My thyroid was fine. … Continue reading
Trusting God with Prayer
As someone who enjoys writing, I try to keep a notebook close by most of the time. I never know when a phrase or conversation might inspire me and I know if I don’t jot inspirations down immediately, I will likely lose them. I have often read about people keeping prayer journals, but I … Continue reading
