Father Weeps

I know how I feel as a parent and grandparent when my grown children and grandchildren have done things that go against what they know is right. I know how I feel when they make mistakes that could have been prevented. I feel sad, I feel hurt, and I wonder what I could have done…

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…

Don’t Underestimate

I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday. We were discussing our busy schedules, juggling the various things in our day. We were discussing the general craziness out there these days, I swear there is a full moon like 6 out of the 7 days a week 🙂 . What was interesting was we…

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…

He Is the Same

I woke up several times last night. Not one of my more restful nights’ sleep. You know how it goes, you try to shut your mind off, but there are just those evenings when it doesn’t want to cooperate. I tried the standard things, counting sheep, deep breathing, counting backwards from 100, ya, no dice.…

Listen to the Pull

Have you ever experienced those moments when you’ve felt a pull to do something? Well, that’s pretty open-ended, isn’t it? Yesterday, we were in the midst of many things. Volunteers came to help us put our Sunday school rooms back in place. Almost a year ago, Hurricane Milton came through and filled many of them…

On the Rock

Do you ever have moments when you have so much going through your mind that you almost feel paralyzed? Maybe ‘paralyzed’ isn’t the right word. How ’bout ‘stuck,’ where you just feel stuck? This morning I was stuck. I had my quiet time as I usually do, talking with Father, although it was a little…

Weathering the Storm

This morning, as I sat and had my morning chat with Father, I noticed the moon. My goodness, it was sooo bright. It’s full, and it’s definitely putting out some brightness. As I talked with Father, I noticed lightning in the distance. It was such an interesting contrast. The thought of storms on the horizon,…

Blessings

I’ve realized lately that Father brings people into our lives for a reason. You might be thinking, “Really, you just realized that?”. Well, no, I’ve known that for a long time and have even said it to many people. I suppose what I mean is that I’m realizing how blessed I am to have certain…

Just Begin

I’m guessing we’ve all had times, situations, challenges where we don’t know where to start. You all know that there are days when I sit down here and I haven’t a clue what to share. I sit and think about things; I retrace my days, and I pray and ask for help from Father. Even…
