WERE YOU THERE TOO?
I can STILL hear His footsteps as He dragged the heavy, rough cross along a seemingly endless path . . . sweat and blood dripping . . . knowing what was to come . . .and He did it for me.
GIFT OF A LIFETIME!

You Choose!
March 26, 2018IN THIS LIFE . . .
Are we on a quest to DO what is right,
or to always BE right?
These two are rarely synonymous
and one is HOPELESSLY inefficient!

FACELESS
March 24, 2018We walk the streets .. .
the buzz of digital noise . . .
and echo of animated humans . . .
yet we do not hear nor see them. . .
they are faceless . . .
We wonder what the world is coming to . . .
we ask where is the Lord in this . . .
He looks lovingly at His lost creation . . .
and weeps .. .

FOCUS AND REFLECT
March 12, 2018When we keep our eyes
focused on Christ,
we cannot help but reflect
His love and grace
on this hungry world
which so badly needs Him!

Suddenly!
March 10, 2018It began like an ordinary day . . .
then suddenly
the sky lit up with the peace and joy that only the Light of the world can give!
They all accepted Jesus in their hearts!
Forever after, life was truly changed!
LOVE WON THE VICTORY!

Positive over negative
March 2, 2018Be blessed by my friend’s words. The Lord and His love radiate through Lois!
Instead of focusing on the negative, I am being convicted to concentrate on the positive and live into God’s call to be His hands in the world. He has a plan for my life as He does all of ours. The difficult part of that is setting aside my worries, fears, guilt,anger, regrets, self pity and doubt. And I need to understand is that not everyone is going to get it. The old adage that that you really don’t understand someone else’s life until you walk a mile in their shoes seems to be true. I need to stop expecting others to understand my life.
Many may think we are weak if we need someone to lean on. But do those people realize it takes a very strong person, in their weakness, to admit need, and for someone to lean on, to care, to be there in times of heartache…
