The Gift of Never-Ending Grace
I work in the office of an elementary school. One day this week, a sweet lady came and delivered a basket of treats for our faculty and staff. She was from a local church and they bring a basket a couple of times a year. She’s a retired teacher and she said that she knows … Continue reading
The Blessings After the Showers
Yesterday, I barely made it home before it started raining. It was a pretty decent shower with a couple of thunder claps. As I looked out my kitchen window, I silently congratulated myself that I didn’t get caught in it. I was in my house, safe and dry and my car was parked safely in … Continue reading
Breakfast Lessons
Last weekend, my family went to visit my parents. My daughter who is in college, was home for a couple of days for spring break and my mama was giving her some patio furniture. We were going to deliver it for her and Mama was going to ride along to see my daughter’s place. All … Continue reading
The Spirituality of Technology
Last weekend, I was out shopping with my hubby. Our son was out of town on a school trip. My cell phone began to blow up with texts. Many were from a remind service I had signed up for, telling me what was going on during my son’s trip. They were instructions like, “meet back … Continue reading
The Freedom of Letting Go
Last Sunday, I had to drive myself to church. My hubby was staying afterward for a meeting and I had to be there early, so we took two cars, which is certainly no big deal. On most Sundays, my hubby drives and I usually text our daughter, who is away at school, a good morning … Continue reading
A Call to Plant
Last weekend, I looked out of my bedroom window and saw a white iris standing tall and in full bloom. It made me catch my breath for a moment. There are lots of things in bloom right now. It’s spring time in Georgia and the pollen count is through the roof. A blooming iris is … Continue reading
Using Our Circumstances
As I write this, my son is in New York City with his high school marching band, getting ready to march in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Needless to say, he was super excited to get to be a part of it. St. Patrick’s Day is one of those holidays that retailers have come to … Continue reading
The Gift of Empathy
I received a text early one morning last week, that my co-worker had an ear ache. She was in lots of pain and was going to the doctor. I felt horrible for her. I had frequent ear infections as a child. They were terribly painful. I can remember doctor visits, ear drops and yucky pink … Continue reading
Choosing to Be Malleable
We sang a song in church on Sunday called, “The Potter’s Hands.” It talks about being made and molded by God’s hands. It’s beautiful imagery. The idea of God as a potter and His people as clay is always a reminder that the clay doesn’t get to decide what kind of art it becomes. The … Continue reading
Standing on the Promises
When I write in this space, it’s usually to share glimpses of God that I have witnessed, with fellow Christ followers or those who may be seeking Him. I like to try to share encouragement and hope with those who may desperately need it, hope that God has a plan and that He’s always busy … Continue reading
