His Work
The Power of Words
The power of words! For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on…
Seeds planted years ago will grow in God’s timing….
The things we do as parents bear fruit years later. As I am growing older, I see the work of God and His faithfulness. My oldest is getting married. In my cleaning, preparing, and organizing, many life events from our past are coming forth. I found a letter she wrote to her “Beloved Husband” in…

Wonderment
“Mommy! You’ve got to come see this!” My little one came running up the stairs this morning with the biggest smile of wonderment and joy, begging me, as she grabbed my hand, to see God’s glorious handiwork written in the morning sky–the sunrise! That sweet girl knows how to break away the cynicism and melt…
