God’s grace is with you today.

TINY SIPS

Top of Form

A cup of tea lets life forget the chaos. Taking tiny sips, the surrounding silence is speaking tranquil words to the soul. The spirit is calm, full of God’s blessings.

A CHANGE IN THE ROUTINE

Change is not what we expect in our routine lives. God is now ready for us to take in a new breath, filling it with new wisdom and spirituality. Embracing the Holy Spirit, there will be a passionate love for God and a deep emotion for the faith only now uncovered because of new discoveries. Feeling invigorated, let it be understood how God is always there to give courage  as transformations are made during all of our journeys.

THE VISIT

Scripture says to us,

“You sweep mortals away,

lasting no longer

than a dream.

They fade like grass that is

renewed in the morning”(Ps 90:5)

When a loved one passes away,

we lose part of our own hearts

and souls. At times, it is hard

to keep going, though we know

God wants us to.. Waking up

to an emptiness does not make

the daily life easy to accept.

Seeking comfort from God

will nourish us. He is there,

showing us that though

our beloved is no longer

in our tangible presence,

there are the sprouts of grass

cropping up where we least expect it,

a gentle breeze felt as we are

out and about,

that resplendent flower seen

leaving us in awe

or a sudden calmness

replacing our anxiety.

Yes, our loved one

has been swept away,

but has come back to us,

visiting for all eternity.

A STORY

Ready to copy my favorite dessert recipe down for a friend, I searched for my bright pink card I had placed on the coffee table. Glancing on the floor, I saw a shred of paper in just that color. The dog had eaten all but a few words, nothing to help me recall the preparations. He got the last taste, I have the memories. As my neighbor taught me in her great wisdom, “Now I have a story to tell.”

THE PRAYER OF SAFETY

While thinking about a youth from the past, I was surprised to see him within moments of my thoughts as I was out and about. Many a year, I had prayed for this young man’s safety. The grin on his face told me how God and the angels were watching over him. In gratitude, I continue my prayers of thanks for saving this precious life.

SPECIAL GIFTS OF KINDNESS

Holding on to something special, I saw it removed from my hands, given to someone else. Others not knowing my emptiness filled the void in no time, approaching me with excitement, one with a beautiful, spiritual gift, another with an unexpected gift of praise. It made me see how kindness overrides unkindness, that the Holy Spirit is ever-present to bring us joy.

THE COLOR OF HEAVEN

While visiting with a bright-eyed child, she said she pictured Heaven as being completely white. We smiled, imagining pools, rolling hills and rivers being the color symbolizing purity, innocence and the light of God.

OUT FOR A DIVE

Dive into the good memories. Travel around with them. Swim by the different ages of your life.  Resurface to the sunshine, giving a prayer of gratitude for those precious times.

ONE

We are one, working as one, to reflect as one, to see what we can do to aid one another, always the Holy Spirit working within us, giving us the glow to keep moving and the fire to never let us give up.

ONCE MORE

Waves take out to sea the darkness in our lives. Ocean waters deliver to shore a fresh spirituality. Life begins anew.
