Thank You

Wow!  God is good!  I just checked and realized that there have been over 10,000 people who stopped to read my blogs.   I’m humbled.   When I started writing these, I had no idea how it would go or even IF anyone would want to read what I wrote.  I sometimes feel that I’m not saying anything that others have not already said, and probably in better words.  But God is good all the time and has blessed the things I write.  When I first started, I struggled to get 100 words written, the blogs were very short.  Now, I have to remind myself to shut up.  Thank you, to the ones that have and do read what I write.  You have blessed me beyond measure.  I certainly do not deserve any of the kindness bestowed upon me by you the readers or by God.   I pray that I have over the past two years God has used me to encourage you and build up your faith.  Thank you, God, for opening doors that no one can shut.   I love the work God is doing.  I often find myself being stretched by my writing.   What started out as a challenge to journal my devotions and struggles, God has used in ways I never dreamed possible.  God has never let me give up.

What’s That Smell?

To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. 2Corinthians 2:16 Last break!  The shift was almost over. Then the unthinkable happened, this man appeared out of nowhere wanting to know where the flashlights were kept.  As we were on our way to the flashlights, I noticed that this man had a very strong odor.  I thought perhaps I could get in front of him so that the smell would not be as strong.   That, however, was not to be either since; he insisted on keeping pace and walking right beside me. By the time we got to where the flashlights were; I was practically running just to keep ahead of him.  I showed him the flashlights and made a hasty exit.  If you’re like me, you shower and even put on perfume or cologne so that you will not stink.  We are concerned that the smell coming from our body is not offensive to others.  As I write this, I wonder if we are as concerned with our spiritual aroma as ...

Grow Old Gracefully

I’d like to tell you about a lady I visited yesterday.   She is ninety-five years young.  She recently moved into nursing home.  She asked one of the workers how many times she would have to walk around the outside of the building in order to walk a mile.  She said the person told her about ten.   Then she leaned in really close and whispered, “I walked around twelve just to be sure I walked a mile.”  Hahahaha! What a lady!  She loves to keep active, even in a nursing home.  As we talked, I saw no anger or bitterness in her speech or actions. There was only a love for God, a heart of compassion, and a sense of humor. She has befriended the one "prickly pear" at the home because as she said, “I have to love her, so she knows Jesus loves her too.”  Wow!!! I need to live like that!  I want to show that much compassion for those around me that need Jesus.  She loved to talk about God and what he was teaching her. ...

Thank you God for Leading us

Thank you God for how you lead us. Like a shepherd leading his sheep. Sometimes through the words you spoke in the Bible, your written word. at other times, it was the wise words from friends,  coworkers,or neighbors spoken at just the right time. Still other times it was a gentle tug,   a whisper to our heart to move  in one direction or another;  intuition or a sixth sense that one   way or another was right or wrong    Yet, when I listened and obeyed   I found the way was clear, distinct and easy to follow. You never leave us to guess which way to go.                                                                                                      ...
