Picayune

As I was driving home last night, I noticed what I thought were weird clouds in the distance. The closer I got to home, the more I realized these weren’t clouds; this was smoke, and like a lot of it. By the time I got home, the smoke had made its way from the southeast…

In a Little While

Every now and then, you come across a song that just hits the spot. If you’ve been following this little blog for long, you know that I have a few favorite Christian performers/bands that I listen to. I have my playlists, and most days, I just put them on repeat 🙂 . When you find…

A Thankful Heart

I found a prayer this morning that is specifically for Fridays. It’s interesting because on my walk this morning, one of the things I asked Father to do was open my heart and fill it with His love, so that I might share it more fully with others. In reading the “commentary” on this Friday…

Better Than Yesterday

My simple prayer this morning as I rode my bike with Father is the title of today’s little blog. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had slightly changed my morning routine. Instead of just sitting on the lanai and spending a few moments each morning with Father, I spend a little more time…

The Light of Christ

One of my favorite services during Holy Week is the Saturday evening service. It’s known as the Great Vigil of Easter. I won’t go into all the specifics about the service, that’s for another blog, but what I will say is that it is one of the most beautiful services you’ll experience. The service begins…

With his sacrifice, He gives us the gift of life everlasting with Him in paradise. All things are made new in Him. Celebrate the joy of the resurrection…

Three Sacred Days

They begin today, the three most sacred days of the year. It’s called the Triduum and spans Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. The passion of our Lord lived out across these next few days. On Maundy Thursday, we relive the last supper and Jesus washing the feet of His disciples. It’s at the…

God Speaks

There are times when he does, you know. If we allow ourselves to be open to listening, truly listening to Him, we will hear His message to us. This morning, I’ve been asking Father with more earnestness than usual to guide my steps and give me strength to accomplish a task today that won’t be…

Morning Words

I’ve shared before that I have a wonderful little book that my husband bought for me a few years ago. He has his own copy; it was his mother’s. The book, “The Practice of Religion,” is filled with prayers, hymns, daily readings, etc. My edition was published in 1950; I do believe the first printing…

Quiet

I walked this morning. I got an earlier start than usual, not by much, but it was earlier. As I walked and began my morning conversation with Father, I noticed how quiet it was. Talking with God and listening to the quiet, it was a very peaceful feeling. I found myself walking and just listening…
