Causes me to think of God’s children when they hung their harps in the willow trees. They were sad, downtrodden, and in a strange and hostile land. They could not sing songs of joy, but, God delivers them from bondage. Joy comes in the morning after our Savior leads us through the night. Dad

God’s Table of Blessings
Rushing around cleaning house and my table stopped me in my tracks. God said to my heart, “Stop and notice.” I could either race around in a feverish pursuit or stop and be thankful. On my table with food crumbs underneath and dirty dishes in the sink, I purposefully choose to see what good things abound…
Rejoicing!
Connect the dots. Remember my previous post on the “one star” and Vivian sending me a text? (How Great Thou Art post) On the morning of my exam for my Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Parish walked me out to my car bright and early in the morning. We have a lot of trees, but nestled between…
Homemade Bread
Having access to Panera, bread machines, and grocery stores we have forgotten the fun of making home-made bread from good old-fashioned yeast and flour! Twenty years ago, my husband and I started making bread from scratch after ordering our free cookbook from Fleischmann’s Yeast Company. Below is a link for bread recipes that includes Fleischmann’s…
How Great Thou Art!
Waking up this morning my mind was resting on all the things that needed to get done and the loss of a child my friend is experiencing. I begin to pray. I did not have any immediate answers but what God did was just remind me of how GREAT and AWESOME He is. It was a 5…
A Reader’s Response…. folks are praying….
Love this song Anna! (Cry out To Jesus song and post) I listened to this song a lot during all those difficult years. There are still days I need to hear it to remind me of who loves me most & who is in control. I know that when I cry out to Jesus he hears…
He is drawing us
The Circle Maker small group began last night. Our leaders shared a profound spiritual beginning: God is drawing you to Himself not challenging you. As a back drop to the study they emphasized a drawing of God’s love and not a battle with Him in which we feel inadequate and exhausted. “I have loved you with an everlasting love;…
A Beautiful Life
An ordinary afternoon at Starbucks is a moving experience and they never knew. Maybe I should have told them but how could you share something so deep with a stranger and expect them to stick around in such a public place to listen. Sitting down in the brown chair and hooking up the laptop, ready…
A Marriage Made In The Garden
I’ve been married for 23 years, and dated Parish for 2 years. We’ve been getting to know each other for a long time. I’ve been to marriage retreats, read marriage books, watched the movie Fireproof, and attended marriage small groups. I can quote you most verses on how the man is supposed to love you…
My Daddy’s Songs
As I write, my dad and I talk about the songs He has written and how they match or convey the message of the post. These two songs were recorded by Jimmie Davis, but my dad wrote them. They reflect the previous posts about Heaven and The Woman who touched the Hem of His Garment. …
