My 88 year old MIL passed away a few weeks ago. It’s been so hard. Even knowing she was called home to be with Jesus and is sitting with her Heavenly Father, reunited with family, friends and pets – doesn’t make it easier on this end. That’s the irony of death. They’ve moved on andContinue reading “Pieces to Remember”

2014 Pieces
I found my first “Pieces Journal,” dated January 22, 2014. It seems so long ago, but it also shows me the walk I’ve taken along Jesus; is just a moment a time, and my faith has continued to grow; year after year. I’d like to share with you some of the earlier “scraps of paper,Continue reading “2014 Pieces”
Forgiveness
Much is written and talked about regarding “forgiveness.” It’s a difficult concept for the human being to comprehend, all situations that need forgiveness are difficult. It’s AS hard to forgive, as it is to be forgiven. My Christian walk had been littered with plenty of unforgiveness, until through bible study and my own personal devotion,Continue reading “Forgiveness”
Eastertide
To be honest, I had never heard of “Eastertide” until today, and as a new-to-the-Episcopalian-faith, I wanted to make sure I was understanding it correctly. It seems to be a beautiful time of celebration. It is based in Christianity & Judaism and although I attend a “certain” church, I do not believe that Christ putContinue reading “Eastertide”

Icicles
Out my window I see a very large icicle, dripping. It will likely be gone in a couple of hours, for today – the temp is heading to 40. But it is winter here in the heartland and tonight it will get cold enough to freeze drips, turning them back into icicles. Icicles remind meContinue reading “Icicles”
God’s still small voice
When listening for God; He is in the still, small voice of your heart. The more we share with Him, the lighter our burdens become, He wants to hear from us, He wants the heartache and grief, the anger and frustration, the pain, whatever we are feeling, He wants us to share it with Him.

Agape Love
Webster defines “agape” as being in a state of wonder. I often felt the meaning was to “love as Jesus loved,” it also involves faithfulness, commitment, and an act of the will. It is distinguished from the other types of love by its lofty moral nature and strong character. Agape love is beautifully described inContinue reading “Agape Love”
Friends are great, but…..
I’ve learned over the past 4.5 months, that what God needs from us, when we are down and out, is to draw closer to Him, than our friends. He wants ALL of us, He wants our focus on Him, so we can learn how beneficial it is, to know our Savior. To trust that HeContinue reading “Friends are great, but…..”
