True inspirational stories to warm your heart and kindle the spirit
Bless To Me
These beautiful images of gratitude … They are signs that we are in the present, in the moment, and remembering that God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - are with us in all the moments.
Summer Blessing
May God bless these summer weeks … May God bless the memories summer brings … May God bless our belonging … May God bless you this summer.
Holy Remembering - Holy Week … Holy
Remembering is important to us - and some are better at this than others. My husband remembers details of houses we’ve lived in, people’s names from 25 years ago that I don’t remember. I remember people and experiences that sometimes he doesn’t remember. Or, the great debate - we don’t remember them the same way. I’m sure no one can relate to that.
Not All Who Wander Are Lost
JRR Tolkien writes, “Not all who wander are lost.” You can find shirts with this quote wherever interesting t-shirts can be found. As you know, I have been traveling these last couple of weeks, and some of it looks like wandering. I’m very appreciative for Google Maps to keep me from being lost in my wandering. I am grateful for the time to be on my own pilgrimage of sorts.

It’s February. We associate this month with many things like African American History and U.S. Presidents. For many, the first thing that comes to mind is Valentine’s Day. Stores already have hearts, flowers, and candy in front of us to help everyone prepare for the next big holiday on the calendar. It’s important to take time to celebrate our spouses and romantic partners. However, with so much talk of love in the air, let’s be sure not to forget that love is much bigger than that in the eyes of God.
Happy New Year 2022!
When we think about looking into a new year, we talk about plans, what we are hoping for, what God is hoping for from us. The scripture we so often turn to is Jeremiah 29:11. I found myself at the beginning of Jeremiah looking at how God called Jeremiah in the first place.
Redemption Of Christmas Past
While growing up, I was embarrassed by how showy and stingy my now-late parents were with their material wealth. The emptiness I felt from living in glass houses has taught me there has to be much more to life than flaunting our wealth. I never heard the words "less fortunate" or "giving back to society" until I was out on my own.
