SPLENDORS OF DISCOVERY

The magnitude of our God-given lives goes far beyond our perceptions. We do recognize that the sky has billions of stars, the beauty in the sunrises and the serenity of colors in sunsets. We admire God’s creations in the quickness of hummingbirds and at the grandeur of waterfalls. Each day, we alone discover something new God has provided. Not any of us will ever find all He has blessed the earth with during our time here. Valuing every minute of the day will allow for continual new splendors, brought to us by our ever-loving God.

WRITING IT DOWN

I look down my list, to see who it is I am praying for. What comfort it brings, to pick up the phone, to say I am still thinking of your loved one, how are you and the family doing. It may be a friend of a friend; it does not matter, I have it marked what the connection is, to ask the appropriate question. To show true concern brings such delight. It is living in the image of God, to care for others.

GETTING THROUGH THE MAZE

GETTING THROUGH THE MAZE
No matter the labyrinth of troubles, God is there, guiding one through the mazes of life. His mighty Spirit helps to bear the exhausting weight, making the load lighter. What a relief this should bring while conversing to God, thanking Him for being there amongst the storm, no matter how turbulent it gets.

WHAT MAKES THE BEAT

Our heart does not beat alone, as God’s heart also beats within us, His Spirit always there. Joining the pulse of life is faith itself, the heart of our existence. The sensation of feeling blessed never goes away, always being thankful for the beautiful moments to enjoy among God’s glory.

THE CONSCIENCE AND A HEALTHY LIFE

Filling the conscience with good thoughts instead of what is cumbersome is much less stressful on one. It is a way to nurture the mind, part of God’s Spirit working within each of us. Once nourished, all of the body is empowered. A new strength is felt, God’s wisdom taking over any negativity, ready to move on to a healthy life.

LISTEN, CONVERSE

LISTEN,CONVERSE
While teaching a child recently about God, she would often express, “Really? I didn’t know that!” She was darling, black braids falling in front of her shoulders, grinning big, a front tooth missing in her smile. Seated at first, she was soon standing beside me, anxious to share with me how to apply what she learned to something today. Just as the Lord planned, we learned from one another. Teach, converse, listen, converse. What a way for our faith to grow!

FADING DREAMS

When you can get everything you want, there is nothing left for dreams. If there is nothing left for dreams, prayers begin to fade. Once they fade, so does the image of God. I would rather hold onto my dreams.

JOY AMONG SORROW

Through the turmoil, having humor can bring such a breath of fresh air. A new friend can bring just the laughter needed, as well as a relative or a friend of many years. It might even be the action of a loved one, now passed, that brings the joy among the sorrow. As always, it is God, bringing his lightness among the darkness, never ceasing to show us how opposing forces work as one.
