Hockin Hosanna

What does Hosanna mean? It is a verb. It is His name, amazing Grace! Matthew 21:9 “Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around Him were shouting, ‘Praise God, hosanna for the Son of David!’ Blessings on the One who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise God hosanna…

Abba Father

How sweet this is to our Heavenly Father to hear His kids call out to Him. “Reconcito de Amor!” What a blessing! In translation it means “Corner of Love!” So before my feet touch the floor, all cozy in my bed, all the plans I have for today get put on pause with a smile.…

Surrender

Never forget how important those seemingly vacant days are. Some days, we produce nothing more than a few lines in our journal.
