Give What You Need

1578) The word, giving back, has become somewhat trendy. “So-and-so is actively involved in giving back to the community,” and other similar activities we hear about. I think this is important and a good thing. Paul confirms this in 2 Corinthians 9:7. It tells us God loves a cheerful giver. Have you ever thought, however,

Comparison Shopping

I’m usually candid in my minute devotions I write but not so much in other ways, but today, I need to write of a vulnerability that may resonate with you. The last week has been difficult. First, my husband and I got COVID a second time and in trying to recover from this, I find

Waves

1576) Living on the coast of Maine has caused me to look at waves differently. Before moving here, my idea of waves were things you could ride your boogie-board on and land on the white sugar-sand. Here in Maine, the waves I often see have at least the velocity of those in the South, and

Restraint

1575) If you have never had to restrain a child or a pet when they needed necessary medical care, you don’t know how difficult it is. For me, when I’ve had to take my dogs to get certain medical procedures, I have been asked to help restrain them. My dogs are little guys, dachshunds, but

Foolish and Stupid Arguements

1574) It’s interesting to hear the bickering my students have. What’s even more interesting is what they’re about. It’s usually because someone “stole” something of theirs or someone “said” something about them. We can find almost all of these types of disagreements in these two sources, but I also think it’s interesting that we adults

Anger is like Velcro

1595) Do you know anyone who has a problem with anger? Has it been you, at certain times of your life? Anger isn’t generally considered very “Christian” but, actually, anger in and of itself isn’t the slippery slope to Hades. Instead, it can be the catalyst for standing up for the underdog or spurring you

Peacemakers Not Peace Lovers

1572) Because I have a love for words and what they mean, when I read Matthew 5:9 recently, I got to thinking about the word peacemaker, literally someone who makes peace. My next thought was, this differs from peace lovers. This person will do anything to not rock the boat. These two words and their

Why Pray?

1571) This may surprise you, but there have been times I’ve wondered, why should I pray? God already knows everything that’s going on; he knows my thoughts and reactions, too. Why tell him? It’s like a child telling the same story to a parent over and over and over. Yes, the parent knows the concerns

In the Presence of My Enemies

1570) There is a fact of life I have not addressed in my minute devotions very often and that is, we all have enemies. For some, this may not be a distressing thing. You straighten your shoulders and say, That’s their problem. It isn’t as easy for me. I struggle with the fact that I

The Facts of This Life

1569) I have to really watch that I don’t become a cynic. When I force myself to look at what’s on the news, read up on governmental actions, watch people in the grocery store grabbing up things to ensure they aren’t without them, leaving nothing for others to buy and more, I tend to just
