Double Hawk Blessing
I was tired this morning, but able to go out and run a couple errands. On my way home I was even more tired and wondering when I would have energy again. As I was getting on the highway, a red tailed hawk swooped right in front of me, talons extended as it landed on […]
Four Things That Bring Great Peace
As I continue to slowly go through “The Imitation of Christ”, I was excited when I saw the title of the next section “Four Things That Bring Great Peace”. It said that Christ offered these things to bring us freedom and peace: Try to do the will of another rather than your own. Always choose […]
Shared Experience
After my post yesterday, I read several others from people who also had a “different” Thanksgiving. They also expressed their gratitude for those loved ones in their lives. So many times we all want to put our happy face out on social media. And I think it is good to be optimistic and have a […]
Admitting Weakness
I have been continuing to listen and reading along with the book, “The Imitation of Christ.” It is deep and heavy for me, but truthful and thought provoking. I’m glad each session is only a few minutes in length. Today was the chapter entitled, “Admitting our weakness and the miseries of this life.” While it […]

I saw a quote from TobyMac today that made me stop and think. “We ask God to change our situation not knowing He put us in the situation to change us.” I can easily become overwhelmed or frustrated with circumstances.

Today was a particularly challenging day. As always, God showed up. It was in today’s meditation from “Jesus Calling” which my mom read to us after dinner.

I have been listening to a series on the Hallow app about near death experiences. It has been enlightening and fascinating. The series is based on studies that have been done and interviews with people of all ages and walks of life who have physically died or nearly died and came back to life. Each […]
Following Through
A couple of weeks ago, I made a trip to the cabin to get the hot water heater replaced. The company contacted me last week to set up the inspection which I scheduled for today. My sister had rearranged her schedule so she could be home with my mom. A couple days ago I realized […]
Life of Prayers
I read a quote today by one of my favorite musicians – TobyMac. It said, “You are currently living at least one of the prayers you used to pray.” Good thought to ponder. I Found God today thinking about how I’m living my prayers.
Ancestors
I watched the Disney movie Coco last night. It gave an opportunity to think about the importance of family and all those who have gone before. Today a friend shared a graphic called Ancestral Mathematics that I thought was interesting and thoughtful as well. It counted back 12 generations – 4094 ancestors over about 400 […]
