I was listening to an interview with Kirk Cameron the other day and he said something really profound. I paraphrase. “Sometimes God allows what He hates so He can accomplish what He loves. To accomplish what is good for us.” One thing I believe God is doing. He is teaching us to stop taking so much for granted. A few…

The Gift Giver…
Based on a true story… Can a ten year old little girl be labeled, “The Gift Giver”? I believe “Yes.” Due to the many blessings her family has been touched with, a ten year old learned to share her blessings with others at a young age. Tucked under a jewelry cabinet, inside her room, is a simple baby blue tote…
You are more beautiful today…
I was super elated to find wedding pictures tucked away while cleaning out some drawers. Immediately, when I saw myself, I noticed several things: I was much thinner, much toner, much younger, and much prettier. I did enjoy looking at other family members to see how much everyone has changed. Do you notice something, though, when you look at a…
The gift…a Mother’s Day story
An art teacher at a local elementary school was running low on supplies, but she knew Mother’s Day was right around the corner. She used money from her personal paycheck to purchase supplies so her students could make their mother a Mother’s day card. She never knew the impact her kind-unseen-gesture would play… A very poor little girl arrived home so…

Surrender to your weaknesses or your strengths…
Have you ever noticed when things are running smoothly in your world, out of nowhere, something unexpected and unwanted happens? I believe we all have seasons of life when everything is going our way and then seasons of life when everything just seems to be falling apart. Sadly, Satan knows our weaknesses and he is waiting for the perfect opportunity…
Never too old for cookies!
Back in the day of “Leave it to Beaver”, Mom’s wore their finest clothes to make dinner with their strand of pearls and perfectly done hair, oh and high heels! We cannot forget high heels…WELL, this is truly a depiction of HOLLYWOOD glamour and if we watch an episode today, we laugh. But, there was a Mom, a Mom named Cookie,…
I want to be a good friend…
In my prayer, I said to Jesus, “I want to be a good mother, I want to be a good role model, I want to be a good wife, and most of all, I want to be a good friend to you, Jesus.” You have to be a friend to make a friend. Does Jesus get included in all your…
Edify…
Wow! This is a word that is rarely used in our vocabulary today. Do we even know what it means? Well, it is the opposite of “tearing down”. To edify means to “instruct or improve someone morally or intellectually” or simply, “building up”. We seem to live in a society that is wired to perk up when bad news is…
When we least expect it…a compliment
I think some of the best compliments come when we least expect them to…you know, the days you don’t feel like putting on makeup or shaving (guys) and then BOOM! someone pays you a genuine compliment! It makes you feel really good inside. NOW, we all need to work on accepting compliments too! TAKE it …you deserve it and TRUST…
