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.

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

Some of them are better than others. These thoughts came to mind when I read Titus 2:11-12. Here Paul writes that

Willful Resistance

2372) I was reading a book recently that told the story of groups of courageous people during World War 2, simply titled The Resistance. These brave men and women put their lives on the line by resisting the Nazi forces, and the individuals I was reading about did just that. This type of resistance has

Inventory

2371) I have had a small sewing business for many years. Because I work full-time, most of what I sell, I have to make before I place it in my shop. Because of this, I always inventory all my products to make sure what I’m selling is what I have literally on the shelf. When
