What We Need

Sometimes we pray and pray and pray, and it seems like Father isn’t hearing us. Sometimes we think that He’s not answering our prayers. Sometimes we lose hope. What I’ve been learning more and more since my relationship with our Lord has strengthened is that He gives us what we need, which many times is…

Tiny Jesus

Last night, a friend of mine gave me a little figurine of Jesus. Even in His little stature, I could feel the comfort of Him being in my hand. I guess it sounds a little weird, but I truly mean it. When you look at his little face and into His eyes, you can feel…

Father and Friendships

I’m spending this week with some old friends. We’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of the association I was a part of in many ways for more than 15 years. I’m looking forward to seeing old friends, hugging many necks, and celebrating a community that has grown so much over the years. As I look at…

For the Doers

Today is Labor Day. I don’t want to take up this little blog with the full history of Labor Day, but I did want to share this interesting summation of this last holiday of the summer, that I came across from Country Living magazine. “Simply put, Labor Day celebrates Americans who labor. It is a…

A Simple Sunday Prayer

As we all enjoy this long weekend, I thought maybe just a simple prayer for this beautiful Sunday. May your day be filled with a little relaxation, time with loved ones and friends, and time with Father. Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of rest. As we slow down this long weekend, help us…

He Gives

I was reading a post from a friend on social media yesterday. She’s been through a difficult few months, yet through it all, her faith has kept her strong. I talked to her a few weeks ago, and she mentioned that she wasn’t sure why the Lord felt she was so strong, but she was…

The Old Days

Yesterday, after church, we joined our friends at breakfast (as has become the routine). We went to one of our four places of choice. When we were seated and had our coffee, we started looking at the menu. We all noticed that it was different. It was considerably smaller; they had taken many things off…

My Heart, Your Heart

A few mornings ago, I was sitting on the lanai having my regular a.m. check-in with Father. I was asking for prayers for my “regulars,” I call them. Of course, family and friends, but also those who have specific needs, such as the return of sweet Emily Rea. As I talked with Him and prayed,…

The Water & The Kids

Tomorrow is our annual church fishing tournament. Well, actually, we call it our annual “day on the water”. For those who don’t like to fish, there is a boat that takes folks out to an island to shell and sun. It really is a wonderful day for kids of all ages. I enjoy this event…

Present Day Prayer

It’s Thursday, and the weekend is around the corner already. That’s not a bad thing. And…this weekend we have our 13th Annual fishing tournament at our church. This is a fun family event. Prizes for the kids and adults. Lots of food, lots of fun, and lots of stories about the “one that got away”.…
