It happened just yesterday. I was taking down our Christmas decorations. It wasn't that I just hadn't gotten around to it. I purposely left our decorations up for most of January. I'm never in any hurry to bid Christmas goodbye. Thankfully You, Lord, and everything this holiday means stays in my heart all year round....
When did we first meet, Lord? Six years ago? He and his wife bought a nearby home. Snowbirds escaping the cold north for a few months each year. Until sickness and other maladies kept them away. We took full advantage of their early winters here. It didn't take long for his wife and I to...
I don't mean that colloquial expression: "All dolled up in fancy clothes." I mean dressed to turn something alive into something dead. Dressed to kill that something, literally. Once and for all. Thanks to You, Lord, this happened to me twice today. Concerning two enemies that needed to be put out of my misery. One was a large...
It was one of those offhand remarks. A "by the way" comment added to the end of an hour-long conversation. A "by the way" comment that went off in my spirit like fireworks! All because of You, Lord. You and Your Amazing Grace. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on...
It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime Divine Appointments. No human being could orchestrate it. No "blind luck" or "coincidence" could explain it. And, by Your Grace, Lord... it happened to me. My husband and I were traveling over the holidays. Flying from state-to-state on a Christmas "tour" designed to reconnect us with beloved family in...
I didn't have a Need List that day, Lord... or even a Wish List. I wasn't coming to you as a Kosmic Kris Kringle. I just wanted to be with You. It was early, well before dawn. I tiptoed through the house into the guest bedroom. Where my War Room (prayer closet) is. But I...
Yes, Lord... Tis the season to be JOY-FULL! How better to spread the WONDER and BLESSING of this most precious season than to BE a living testimony of that priceless hymn? "Joy to the world! The Lord has come!" Your Spirit came on me suddenly as my day of travel began, making my JOY Mission...
I've been struggling with this post, Lord. Son-day is a time for reflection about my recent encounters with You. One in particular stood out to me the moment it happened. Somehow, I knew instantly it would become the subject of today's post... ... even though I haven't yet fully grasped all the ways You want...
I'm enjoying the rhythm of these Son-days, Lord. Reflecting on our Adventures together during the past week. Thanking You for each Encounter that filled my cup to overflowing! Like this one... I met her for the first time a few days ago. On my front porch. She was there to help one of my neighbors....
In this new blog, Sundays are Son-days with You, Lord. Reflecting on one of the many God-encounters You and I have shared in the previous week... hoping it will bless others, too. Like this one... She had always towered over everyone and everything around her. A HUGE Blessing. But now she was dead... a Clear...
