Special and Valued

2578) Having written 2,578 of these minute-devotions, I might have mentioned the following conversation before, but since it’s important, I’ll provide a recap. I had a professor in Bible college who was the best and effective teacher I’ve ever had. He was knowledgeable, practical, and godly. Circumstances led me to his office door one day,

Predictably Unpredictable

2577) A while ago, my mother gave me the baby book she kept as I grew up. When I brought it home, I looked through the pages and found a letter my kindergarten teacher wrote to my parents concerning me. It was short, and yet I nodded my head at the insight this teacher had

Seeking Heaven on Earth

2576) There’s a yearning I believe Christians have, that maybe isn’t always obvious. It causes us to yearn for heaven and the good things it includes. This yearning believes there will be no more tears, death, sorrow, and crying in heaven. Revelation 21:4. Where some of us go wrong with this promise is that we

The Little Things

2575) Though they can become buzzwords, the little things are important. When something is lying on the floor at the grocery store and you pick it up. When you say thank you when someone holds the door for you. When you let someone into your lane on the road. All these things are relatively small,

Farsighted

2574) I had a student once who had been homeschooled until the grade when he landed in my classroom. I noticed immediately that he couldn’t see the information I had written on the board. When I contacted his mom, she took him to get his eyes checked, and sure enough, he needed glasses. Afterward, the

Significance

2573) I know someone who does a job for a company that many insiders may think insignificant. The job isn’t an executive position, nor is it one that would look impressive on a resume. Still, this person does the job with care, making sure their responsibilities are taken care of. In addition, this person always

Take It or Leave It

2572) Have you ever known someone who really doesn’t care where you go to eat or doesn’t have a preference on which movie to see? It’s nice if you’re the one asking because the other person is basically saying, you decide. The one person I knew who said this regularly became a burden because I

Now What?

2571) I watched a video the other day about a man whose imprisonment lasted 38 years for a murder he did not commit. The authorities did some DNA testing and found out he was not guilty. Of course, the man was glad to get out of prison, but he faced some difficulties. What do I

Stand Still

2570) As one who has recently retired, I am still amazed at how much I worked. There was my teaching job and all the work that came with it. Then there are my writing and sewing jobs, which I often had to squeeze in-between everything else I had to do when not teaching. Once retired,

Giving

2569) When I hear or read the word, give, I often think about money. I can give to the church. I can give to a student who may need something. I can give to the Cancer Society. All of these involve giving, but people can give more than just money. We can offer our time.
