Lovers

2382) I lived for several years in the beautiful state of Virginia. Rolling green hills, beautiful farmland, acres and acres of crops. The motto of Virginia (at least when I lived there) is Virginia is for Lovers. Though I don’t think Virginia’s motto is what John had in mind in 1 John 4:8, we will

Training

2381) I have always admired runners. When I see someone running along the side of the road, I nod my head toward them out of respect. The work and time these people put into it are often evident when I see them. Though I am not a runner, there is something else I can train

It’s Temporary

2406) The older I get; time seems to change. What used to seem like an eternity when I was a child seems to be as quick as the blink of my eyes. And yet, as I experience times filled with tears, grief for the dead, and a body quivering in pain, time seems to stand

The Purpose of Gifts

2380) There are different occasions when we are given gifts. Birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s Day, etc. When we receive these gifts, what do we do with them? Do we sit back and enjoy them? Do we share them with others? Do we add other things to them to make a “set” of some sort? All of

Tag, You’re It

2379) Anytime we are working with youngsters, as a parent, grandparent, teacher, etc., part of our job is to guide them into living successfully in this world in all areas, including character, socializing and responsibilities. The goal is to help the young become the best people they can be independently. Did you know Jesus sought

Just a Matter of Time

2378) When I read my Bible, specifically in the New Testament, I read of a Savior with whom I would love to spend a lot of time with. I yearn to see him, talk with him, laugh with him, and listen to him. For many years, I have assumed this will only be when I

Two-Way Conversation

2377) When I read familiar verses, I try to look for things I haven’t noticed before, or at least didn’t pay much attention to. The verse for today is Jeremiah 33:3 – Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. (ESV) When

More Than That

2376) I have a friend who is trained in specialized care. When I came to her in need, she gladly helped me – for nine years. Never did this friend ask for money nor say she was tired of helping. In addition to this, she often helped with other needs I had, unconditionally. Because of

Our Specialist

2375) I am grateful I don’t have any major medical problems (yet) and though this is true, I’ve wondered about what it’s like to have this kind of difficulty and be far away from medical health. What if this happens? What if that happens? I’ve thought that if I were going away from close medical

Restored Wholeness

2374) I like to watch someone restore an antique. How they can look at an old and sometimes decrepit piece of furniture and see what it can look like restored is a wonderful ability. Reflecting on this, Isaiah 43:1 comes to mind. Here, the prophet says as God’s spokesman, Fear not, for I have redeemed
