I know How You Feel

890) Sometimes, perhaps without realizing it, we insult others in their sorrows and grief. We may say to them, with all good intentions,” I know how you feel.” Maybe you have also dealt with cancer. Maybe you have also lost a job or your dignity. Maybe you have suffered from poor choices but it is

The Sacrifice of Saying, “No!”

892) As children, it can be very hard to go against the wishes, beliefs, or values of your peer group; especially for teens. Why? Because everyone wants to be accepted and to fit in with others. This desire doesn’t really change as one moves into adulthood. We still desire acceptance and validation, but have you

The Grace of Good Intentions

891) We have all heard the matronly voice of someone who spews platitudes and often rubs us the wrong way. One such example is, “Well, you know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.” I have been mulling over this phrase lately. There have been so many times when I have done or

Just Around the Bend

890) Have you ever been slapped with the horror that this life can give? Did you sit in a stupor and think, “I didn’t know when I woke up this morning that a ghastly event would happen today that would change my life as I know it.” Fortunately, these types of things don’t happen often,

A Beautiful Thing

889) It’s really easy to forget (at least for me) that in using the gifts and abilities I have been given, I can do them as an act of worship. I get caught up in, this is my job, this is my responsibility and other such ideas when, maybe, I need to remind myself that

Read the Signs

888) My husband teaches in a high school where he works with students in welding, residential construction, wiring, lobster trap making and more. I wonder how he does it so well because I know that my younger students have difficulties following directions. Out of need (and probably frustration), my husband has a sign he has

Important Ministries

887) We are all good at something. You may be good at math or understanding human nature. You may sing beautifully or you have the knack for organization. These abilities were given to us by God, and none of these gifts are “better” than others. If you think you’re giving of your time to clean

The Greatest of These . . .

886) In my language arts classroom, every Monday we study the lyrics of four songs as we listen to parts of each one. We look at figures of speech that may be present; we discuss the author’s purpose, as we see it, and just plain appreciate the beauty that words and music can form together.

Spitting Image

885) There is a conversation that takes place in Mark 12:13-17 that caught my eye. Here we read that the “religious” leaders in Jesus’ day were trying to trap Him, so they ask Him a question that either way would make Jesus look guilty. They ask Him if they should pay taxes to Rome. If

Prayer Considered

884) I must confess that I have hesitated in writing about the topic of praying for specific things. I think it’s because sometimes I ask God for something and He grants it and there are other times (and it seems like many to me) when I ask God, and He answers no or, “worse yet,”
