He speaks and I write!
When lost for words…
Have you ever felt lost for words, just wiped out of energy to even speak? There could be many reasons for this, both good and bad. I was at the Yankee game last night and was just amazed at the energy that can come from so many voices saying/screaming the same message! There was a bad …
Shadows will fade!
The title of this devotional is from the words of a song I’ve been listening to lately. It’s been a great encouragement to me as I walk through a “valley of a shadow.” Like this runner, we can’t stop when the shadows of doubts and discouraging words pop up in our minds. Our emotions and …
Cherries and other good choices.
I don’t know about you but I absolutely love sweet fresh cherries, especially when they look like this with the stem and leaves still hanging on. So pretty! I bought some cherries today and, of course, I can’t stop popping them in my mouth. Even though too many are not good for your sugar levels, …
Hold your breath
Here is a challenge. When you wake up each day, hold your breath until it’s uncomfortable. Then breathe again and thank God because He is the one who gives you your breath each day. He gives us life. It’s His to give and His to take away. Here are a few scriptures for your reference. …

Discouragement, you’re not welcomed!
Hello Friends, I hope this little devotional will lift you up. The image above is sadly accurate. Discouragement is like a dark cloud that settles over our minds. It causes us to look back and we usually hear things like, “I should have/I could have,” or “Why did or didn’t I do this or that.” It’s …
With A Heavy Heart
With a sad heart today, I’m praying for God’s comfort. My heart is broken for my childhood friend Bizzy (Elizabeth), who this very moment is walking through the valley of the shadow of death. I cannot take this cross from her. All I can do is offer my prayers and hope for that better place, …
Brand spanking new
Good morning! Who doesn’t like new? I guess there are those who only like antiques and such, but I think most really enjoy the new! The new smell in that new car, a new house, new job, new sneakers! I’m happy to report a great victory for a nephew of mine. He’s one year into …
Suffer the little children…
Last Sunday was cold and windy. As I was looking out the window, I began to write about what was in my heart… As the day moves on and the evening is approaching, the wind is picking up and I can hear my chimes getting louder. The clouds were darker earlier with some snow falling, …
