I must tell you of the most wonderful experience I just had. We have been in Costa Rica looking for a home to possibly buy and retire down there. It is so beautiful. The people are so friendly and it is just a different – slower lifestyle. They call it the Pura Vida (the pure life) and it truly is. I went out on our balcony to do my quiet time with the Lord and I had the most incredible…..
Have you ever read the story of Job? Oh my goodness, it seems that he endured more than anyone could bear. He was a wealthy man with a wonderful family and very good friends. Everything seemed to be going great for him. Then he lost everything – everything but his faith. He suffered more than I can imagine and yet he never turned his back on God. He knew God would deliver him. He knew the peace of Christ. His…..
When Jesus went into the Garden of Gethsemane He asked the disciples to wait and pray for him. He said, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” (Matthew 26:38) Later He tells the disciples in Matthew 26:41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” Jesus took Peter, James and John with Him to pray. This was…..
Several scriptures in the Bible tell us not to be judging others. It is not our place. God alone is qualified to judge. Only He can see the true heart. He has “walked a mile in their shoes”. Jesus tells us in Matthew 7:1-2 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” That is pretty…..
I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. What a glorious time to celebrate our Mothers. God created Mothers as an expression and example of His love for us. No one loves you like your Mother. She is always there for you. She kissed your boo-boos and made them better. She took you to school for the first time and watched you as you graduated. She held you when your heart was broken and, with only a Mother’s wisdom, told…..
As I age I find myself, not really worrying, but thinking a great deal about the future. Will we remain healthy; will we have enough money and will we be able to take care of ourselves? It is the fear of the unknown that causes us so much angst. We can’t know what the future holds but we know we worship an awesome God. He holds our future. 1 Peter 1:3-5 says: “Blessed be the God and Father of our…..
“Prayer” (CC BY 2.0) by fourbyfourblazer God does speak to His children. We just have to learn to listen with “open ears” – we need to know that He speaks to us and to listen. You don’t have to hear an audible voice to hear God. Sometimes He just places a thought in your mind but you know it is from Him. John 10: 3-4 tells us, “To him, the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear His voice, and He calls His own…..

Is there someone in your life who steals your joy? There is always some culprit who knows the exact buttons to push and get under your skin. I don’t know why this has to be. You can tell yourself over and over that you won’t fall into their trap this time and yet they can get the best of you. We all try to lead our lives as Jesus would have us to do. I loved those bracelets that were…..
I must admit that one of my worst sins is judging others. I guess the Pharisee comes out in me and I think I have the right to make judgments on others. I know this is wrong and I pray for God to keep me from this sin. He is a God of mercy. It is easy to fall into this trap. Some people beg to be judged. They do terrible things, and we know they are wrong. They don’t…..
