We Don't Have to Fear When the Wind Blows

March.... the windy month is here! It’s the month for flying kites and for not worrying about your hair staying in place when you go outside!

Pleasant Words are as an Honeycomb

Have you ever said something to someone and then wished the ground would just open up and swallow you? What your brain seemed to be saying was not quite what came out of your mouth. And of course when the words are spoken you can't exactly take them back. We all have had that to happen at some point.

Who Are We Following?

I love that Facebook gives us memories from previous years. Sometimes these memories take us back to difficult times, but can also make us thankful for where we are today. Six years ago, I shared this.

Don't Be a Secret Christian - What Would it Take to Shut You Up?

Several years ago, my husband preached on the passage Matthew 28:11-15. He spoke of how the guards at the tomb of Jesus were paid off to lie and say that Jesus did not rise from the dead. And as I thought on this I wondered how many believers could be shut up about their faith by some means or other. Thus the title "Don't be a Secret Christian-What Would It Take To Shut You Up?"

Christmas Blessings

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) Doesn't this verse, that we all know by heart, sum up what Christmas is all about?   We are so blessed!  God gave us His only Son that we might live forever with Him.

The Grace of a Stranger

We've all been there. The frazzled mama doing all she can to keep her children from a nuclear meltdown, quietly daring anyone to make a rude comment about her children. If you are like the rest of us, then you've been a witness to a meltdown and even probably thought if that child was mine, he wouldn't behave that way. You never know what is going on in a situation. That is where the Grace of a stranger comes into play.

The Beauty of Feet

Feet are not usually considered beautiful!  There are many who literally can’t stand to look at people’s feet; it makes them sick! They can’t rub someone’s feet or sit on the couch next to someone who has their shoes off.  Many women make their feet beautiful with pedicures. Scrubs, lotion, and nail polish are just a few ways that help in making feet a little more easier to look at.

But you know, God considers our feet a thing of beauty.

Encouragement for Reading Your Bible

Three Things to do Today

Are you concerned about your past? Are you worried what your future may hold? We all have those concerns and fears, but we should never allow them to control how we live.  There are three things we can do today to help us

The Garden On The Hill

I came across this quote while reading a book on prayer, "God cares about everything that concerns you, so feel free to talk to him about anything." Many of us look at little things and don't consider praying about them because they're little.  But you know, if they are something that we care about, God cares about them also.  He wants us to pray for the big things and the little things.

Pure Words

How are your words? Are they what they are suppose to be? If you're like me than they are not. When I realize how my words are, I know they need to be refined. I need to be placed in the refiner's fire, but I'm not going through it alone.

Cast Your Burden

There are times when we need to be reminded of things. We have a loving Saviour who wants to bear our burdens, if only we let him. For whatever reason we are hanging on to the burdens, they are only making our lives harder to live. All we have to do is cast our burden onto the Lord.

Unbelief - 4 Things an Unbelieving Heart Does

Have you even said or thought the words I 'll believe it when I see it? We all have one time or another. But you know, when we allow unbelief keep us from believing and trusting the Lord it's a sin. Not only is it a sin, but we miss out on so many blessings.

Never Give Up

Life is hard. Everyone experiences things in life that are unpleasant.  No matter what it is, we are not going through it alone.  There are times when it feels like we are alone, but know we are not.  With God anything is possible. Because of Him, we should never give up.

When We Experience It Ourselves

It's amazing how we sometimes find the outcome of an experience surprising. It's something we've heard over and over but have yet to experience it. And when we do experience it, we're quite surprised.

I Saw Jesus In You

In every situation, people watch us. Many times God places us in the perfect place and time so another can see Jesus. No matter who we are or what our situation is are we living a life so others can say,"I saw Jesus in you"?  If we are not, we need to consider we may be the only Bible others see.

How Do I Love Thee?

Are we loving others when they do something for us or meet the standards we have for them? Or are we loving others like Jesus?  

Choose to Serve the Lord

Serving the Lord is not always what we want to do, especially after a tiring day. The Lord understands we get tired and He rewards us when we go the extra mile for Him.  It pays when we choose to serve the Lord.

Reach Out to Others

We hope you enjoy this post from the archives, posted December, 2014.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature ( Mark 16:15).

The study of world history is an interesting study. One theme weaves through time and that is during all time, people have worshipped something, whether the true God, a god, or a man. The Old Testament tells us that many times, Israel left serving the one and only true God to worship false gods of the nations around them. Each time God had to take action to bring them back to him.
