Psalms 16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. This morning I was reading my little devotional (Jesus Calling) and one sentence seemed to jump off the page and speak to me in a personal way. It said, “Be on…

Look to the Birds
(A poem for all generations) “Most of the situations that entangle your mind are not today’s concerns; you have borrowed them from tomorrow.” __ Sarah Young Preserve me, oh God: for in thee do I put my trust. (Psalms 16:1) Look To The Birds Look to the birds, the fowls of the air. No needs have…
When Mother’s Day is Sad
But everyone has gone the wrong way. (Psalms 14:3) (ERV) (Love Ghost Stories? Go to Creepy Reflections) My heart is relieved with the knowledge that God can bring good from chaos. We’ve all gone the wrong way at least once in our lives; and if you’re anything like me, you’ve taken the wrong road many times…sometimes many times…
You Can’t Fix Everything
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. This verse became ever apparent to me, some 28 plus years ago. My first-born lay in an incubator attached to all sorts of life saving apparatuses. She was a preemie baby. I had stayed diligently by her…

Co-Creators
Psalms 13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy, my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. Trust and rejoice…David’s choice of words for today. Trust and rejoice are active words. They insinuate we not sit idly by as our day takes form, but rather to become co-creators of our day. Trust and rejoice, invites us…
Who’s Staring Back?
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Psalms 12:6 In ancient times silver was purified in a hot furnace. The metal was put into a clay container and heated to extreme temperatures. As the metal got hotter the impurities would float to the top,…
Tear Down Your Walls
For I will restore health to you, and I will heal your wounds, says the Lord, because they have called you an outcast… Jeremiah 30:17 “I used to put up walls to protect myself…However, I learned that if I wall others out, I also wall myself in. If you built walls around yourself out of…
More Than a Feeling
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalms 11:3 True faith is more than a feeling. Our feelings change but the foundation of our faith never changes. That’s not to say we can’t change our opinions, of course we can. I once believed drinking alcohol in any fashion was sin, but I no longer hold…
