My mind can only know so much.
It is only when my heart and soul are fed
that I am forever changed.

MIRROR OF SINCERITY
November 3, 2016We say we are sincere, but are we?
True sincerity, like the mirror on the wall, speaks non-verbally.
We communicate it heart to heart!

Conflicting Hearts
February 17, 2014“what’s that racket?” you asked,
As I flung open the doors
To the sunroom.
All around me countless birds sang!
Feeling the warmth of an almost spring day,
I heard “too cold!”
Basking in the radiance
Of the morning sun streaming
From a cloudless sky,
I heard you closing the blinds
“too much glare!”
My smile faded a bit
As I knew we were together,
Yet in vastly different placed.

Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.

Where Jesus Lives
December 31, 2013
I read somewhere today that we should use our brains as our hearts know nothing. I am SOOO thankful that I know better. “They” can mess with your head and quote chapter and verse to prove their point. The Bible is often the weapon of choice. It is so often quoted out of context. But Jesus lives in my heart. When it is a happy heart He is there. When it is a broken heart He is there. When there are no answers, when there are only clouds, He holds the answers and He is the Son shining. The heart KNOWS because He lives there.

Blessings In A Tattered Cardboard Box
October 22, 2013Blessings do not always come on silver trays,
wrapped in ribbons and festive bows.
Sometimes they come in dusty boxes
lugged by sweaty arms.
Occasionally,
a spider or two may tag along.
When you face life with an open heart,
you discover miracles happen
everyday.
You may even wonder what you’ve missed!
