Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. The dark still lingers. Coffee perked. The morning sounds beginning. My farmer and girls; still milking. The pause before the day begins. One of my favorite times of day. It is the time I feel most in tune with my Savior. The time when my heart is full. When I feel strong. It is after my feet have touched the floor. The moments where my soul has been refreshed in ... View Post
Blessings in Best Buy Day # 25 of Thankfulness
Each person has a story to tell. The fabric of their life woven together. Some of the stories we know. Others lie buried deep within. Sometimes our lives intersect. A chance meeting. Social Media.

My lost item had been found. A sweet sensation spilled over my being. An unexpected surprise. In gratitude I shared my find. Sometimes we are lost. Looking and searching for that which we can not find. This year has been full of continuing changes. My dad getting new digs in a nursing home, Clarissa graduating and leaving for college, ...

Waking From A Dream
I woke from the dream. Wracking sobs as I fell to my knees in the kitchen. Sobs that came during the first days as we learned of Elijah's homegoing. The same gut wrenching realization. Piercing. Ache. Reality. Harsh. My pysche must only be able to handle this in my dreams. For when I woke. Truth confronted me. Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. The power of knowing that we are His ... View Post
