GOD’S COMFORT IS MEANT TO BE SHARED…
Recently, I have been working with some individuals who are going through difficult times of suffering in their personal lives. In order to work out their situations, their solutions depended on working with people who had been unreasonable in certain ways. Yes, I know there are two sides to every story. But in order to… Read more

THIS IS ONE WAY I PLAY…
In the home where I grew up, play was not looked on as a necessary event for adults. Adults were expected to work a lot! Especially if they were Christian workers who worked for little to no pay! (The logic of that still escapes me.) So I grew up always feeling that I didn’t measure… Read more

HAVE YOU LEARNED TO BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR UNAPPRECIATED BLESSINGS?…
A few years ago, I became aware of what I now call “unappreciated blessings.” Let me back up and give some background. I have been an epileptic since I was 20 years old. When I was about 1/2 way through nurses’ training, I started having seizures. The big ones. The ones where you fall… Read more

IS THERE HOPE FOR MY FUTURE?…
What does the future hold for me? I try not to think about it too much these days. When I was younger, it was the way I coped. Especially when times were hard. I would think about the future and realize things would get better. That no matter how hard things were at the moment,… Read more

I WAS SICK AND YOU VISITED ME…
·
Visit widows and orphans…I was sick and you visited me… These are the two quotes that popped into my head when I heard today’s prompt. As a nurse, I have seen the power of encouragement when a friend or relative comes to visit and thinks of the sick person. Sometimes they bring an appropriate gift.… Read more

John 1:14 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what… Read more
