Adam and Eve were filled with shame, fear, and they went into hiding. After being tempted and going against God’s plan for them, they faced the consequences for their actions.

His Work
Mary Did You Know
Psalm 95 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if only you would hear his voice….. We loved that last part of the passage as a family and…
Redemption in the hands of a baby: You are not alone
But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, And the Lord has forgotten me.” Can a woman forget her nursing child and have no compassion for the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are…
Spiritual Birthday
December 13 is my spiritual birthday. The day I made a decision to accept Jesus as Savior, and be baptized to honor this most important decision. I was 13 years old. My accepting of His love was so sweet to me. It was a simple prayer service in a small building (not a church), with…

The Man Called Jesus

Natalie’s Cakes and More
I love the verses in Romans 5 that reminds us of our source of strength during sufferings and what sufferings produce …..because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,…
