I love receiving early Christmas presents! Yay! I just received this one from my friend, almost-relative, gifted artist, and fellow blogger, Beth Stone. Please check our her site HERE.
The award has a catch, but a good one I am to answer the following questions in one word, then pass the award on to five other bloggers.
Here [...]

“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Matthew 7:11
TMI. That’s what this post probably is. Who wants to know where I’ve spent a lifetime of Christmases? But the Lord’s faithfulness [...]

“A friend loves at all times.” Proverbs 17:7
For the next few days leading up to Thanksgiving, I’d like to practice thankfulness by sharing some things for which I’m personally thankful.
Today, I am so thankful for all the dear friends I’ve come to know or communicate with on the internet. Though we aren’t able to talk over a nice latte or [...]

And these are only a [...]

Another birthday! Thankful for the days and years the Lord has given me to experience His love and grace in my life! I could share so much—but in the midst of visits with our family and fellowship with dear friends, I will wait for another time.
For now, my birthday wish and prayer is that my readers would [...]

“For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Galatians 5:13
I found a booklet in our little library from 1976, entitled “Who is My Neighbor,” [1] in which John R. Stott discusses the example Jesus gave of love, and specifically, the who, [...]

“Love your neighbor.”
After my last post on loving our neighbor, I brainstormed the age-old question, “Who IS my neighbor?”
This question, from Luke 10:29, was originally posed to Jesus by a lawyer, who was “wishing to justify himself.” [Some things never change ]
The Greek word for neighbor comes from plesion, which means “the [...]

“Love your neighbor.”
A challenge to heroic love:
“Love your neighbor. Perhaps he rolls in riches, and you are poor, living in your little cottage side by side with his lordly mansion. Every day you see his estates, his fine linen, and sumptuous banquets. God has given him these gifts. Do not covet his wealth, and think [...]
