“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so, shall we ever be with the Lord.” I Thessalonians 4:16-17 I recently saw a picture of a man and a boy talking. The son said to his father, “When will Jesus return?” The father answered, “I don’t know, son, we are not on…
“Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.” Acts 9:25 This story in Acts 9 almost sounds like something we would read in a suspense novel. Saul has made some enemies in the city, and they are planning to take his…
One of the nastiest tasks that I volunteered to undertake at the church we pastored was to bring the aluminum cans home for recycling. You might ask how that could be nasty. All that’s necessary is to toss them in a recycling bin somewhere, right? Well, that would work, IF……

“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” Philippians 1:3-6 First of all, I want to say a heart-felt Thank You to all of you ladies who follow this site and faithfully read the messages and share them with others. You are the reason we seek direction and inspiration…
“And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you” (Isaiah 46:4). Recently I read a perfect illustration of trust. Have you ever noticed the expression of an infant being carried on the shoulder of his mother or father? The baby’s face is a study in total relaxation and trust. While the parent sees where the two are headed, the child can see only where they have been. The infant is not worried about being at least five feet in the air because he trusts the one that is holding him. God promises to carry us for a lifetime.
Prayer: Lord, I want to trust You more. I want to continue leaning on my Father’s shoulder knowing that He knows the way to take me. I am dependent on Your care.

“And they fear exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of men is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” (Mark 4:41 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible) We live 80 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. Hurricanes threaten us each year. This year it looked like Irma was headed our way. For unknown reasons, the storm turned away from us. While visiting a lady in the hospital someone asked me about the impending storm. I looked at the questioning man and said God was the only one who controlled the storm. I’ve learned…
“The Lord is good to all; He has compassion on all He has made.” Psalm 145:9, NIV We have had a lot of snow and cold weather this winter, and it seems like we have been spending a lot of time inside. So naturally, at this point we are thinking about Spring, when we can get out for long walks, when the snow will be gone, and when flowers again appear. How wonderful to look out my window a couple of days ago and see three robins sitting on the tree in the yard. That is always a sign that…
