The way we live our lives is changing. Who would have guessed that toilet paper would be such a hot topic?  (check out my alternative suggestions here) The world we lived in January of 2020 will not be the same in December of 2020.  What is happening now was beyond our imagination, and what's coming is too.   It can be a struggle to stay in peace and trust the Lord.  But as we get beyond the fear that is saturating the atmosphere right now, we can sense God is doing something new.  As we take refuge under His wings, there...

Wherever you are, and everywhere you go, the coronavirus is being talked about. Fear is running rampant throughout the world, and coronavirus had been declared a global pandemic. It would appear that Satan is winning this round, when, in truth, he is not. We need to keep in mind God always wins.  Romans 8:28. The Amplified Bible says: "And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose."   So how could...

It's snowing again this morning.  While the snow is beautiful, I'm ready for spring sunshine instead of gray skies and so is Steve.  Winter blues have been having a definite effect at our house.   I just want to curl up beside the fireplace with a good book and cup of coffee and stay there until spring.   And so that's what I do.   Then guilt sets in.

As the snowflakes fell and stuck in her hair, I was awestruck by the beauty of the little white flakes against her red hair. This was what the Lord had been talking to me about. He is showering little kisses from heaven on us each day. In that quiet moment, each snowflake felt like a kiss of love landing on us.

Happy New Year friends!   It is time to say Goodbye to 2019 and Hello to some new adventures with Jesus in 2020! I've been going through my journals for 2019 in order to say a proper goodbye.  My word for the year was "thrive".  It is amazing to see the many ways God made that happen.  There were also some disappointments and several discouraging days.  But as Isiah 43:18-19 says: “Forget about what’s happened;     don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new.        From <https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+43%3A18-19&version=MSG>    As the new year...
