Like a Rose

Sing praise ” Above all powers, above all kings, above all nature and all created things. Above all wisdom and all the ways of man—You were here before the world began — Above all kingdoms, above all thrones, above all wonders the world has ever known. Above all wealth and treasures of the earth —…

The Wonder of Snow

Childlike joy is a wonder. It frees adults to mimick the uninhibited fascinations of a kid. God created us all to inhabit His Spirit.

Christmas Poetry

On Friday, December 25, 1863, Henry Longfellow—as a 57-year-old widowed father of six children, the oldest of which had been nearly paralyzed as his country fought a war against itself—wrote a poem seeking to capture the dissonance in his own heart and the world he observes around him that Christmas Day. Henry’s most widely read…

Both Sides

We all could face up to our own faults if we could see our clear need for a Savior. Peter said, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬ ‭KJV Left alone,…

Set Apart

These LaOla girls were set apart as a testimony of God’s plan. They shine with the glow of knowing that they are loved and that God has a plan for their future. Who is our Promise Keeper, our Provider of all good? Psalm 132:15 “I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will…

Malachi

Mumbling and grumbling does NOT reveal trust in God or patience. When the word of the Lord came to Malachi, the Lord was affirming His love for His people. Think how God felt after proclaiming His love and they curtly ask Him; “how have you loved me?” God reminds us in this book “A son…

When I’m Gone

Be prepared to comfort those who get left behind. Write something to them in your Bible. Write a card, or a letter and position it so that it is very easy to find. When I’m gone, I don’t want you to be too sad. Stay silent, save the words, and remember the happy moments that…

Winging It

Wing it well with His wind, His breath, His grace, His mercy, His love, His joy, and His strength. Flying high! Under His wings I am safe, fearless, protected, happy, at peace, resting, and His. Each day the birds wake up and sing. They cause us to look up and trust God for all things.…
