Do you ever feel overwhelmed? How do you handle that? Do you ever have a day where you feel like Sisyphus rolling the ball up the hill, only to watch it roll slowly back down before you get to the top? Yep, that was yesterday. In the world of education, we are never really “done”.… Continue reading When it rains, it pours.
You can run, but you can’t hide
How God is with us wherever we are. Do you ever wake up in the morning and wonder where God is hiding? Um, you woke up- that’s a miracle all by itself! Did you do that on your own power? Nope. It doesn’t matter how much I contemplate God working in my life, He constantly… Continue reading You can run, but you can’t hide
It’s Sunday. Are you resting?
The Bible tells us that God rested on the seventh day. How do you spend your Sunday? Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It’s a day of rest, usually some cooking, and often an afternoon walk in a local park. I love exploring the parks near my house and they are not very… Continue reading It’s Sunday. Are you resting?
Today is a gift. Are you present?
Today is only here for today. What does it mean to be present? Today has been on my mind lately. I’m pretty happy in my current “today” but the other day, I was challenged with “how can you bless someone today?”. It wasn’t in the future or to remember a time I blessed someone in… Continue reading Today is a gift. Are you present?
Are you a pilgrim?
What kind of journey are you on? Is it a “pilgrimage”? Thinking about pilgrims, I have two very different images in my head. The first are the figures that I decorate with at Thanksgiving- rosy cheeked, happy looking people. I doubt the people that arrived on the Mayflower were as cheery as my decorations. The… Continue reading Are you a pilgrim?
All saints and all souls…
Which one do you celebrate? What is your tradition? I know that for most Americans the big event this week was Halloween. I do love to see the sweet little toddlers dressed up as pumpkins. Other cultures celebrate differently and on different days, some on November 1st and some on the 2nd. I think each… Continue reading All saints and all souls…
Halloween, a trick or a treat?
Do you celebrate this holiday? Is it fun or spooky? I love fall, it really is my favorite time of year. It’s getting cooler, the leaves are changing, and I can wear pumpkins on my socks and t-shirts. Dressing up for Halloween can be fun, being someone else for the evening is a step away… Continue reading Halloween, a trick or a treat?
All you need is love…
We know the “golden rule” but are we good at applying it? I try not to watch the news, but the evidence of war, violence, and people’s unkind acts are hard to miss. It makes me wonder about the people behind the acts. Who or what do they love? I can’t stop a war halfway… Continue reading All you need is love…
Divine intervention
We get exactly what we need, at the right time. Can you see it? I had planned a different post for today, evidently God had other plans. I talked about angels already this week- the ones you can see. What about when things just “work out”? Are there angels in play? Probably. Who points us… Continue reading Divine intervention
Angels are all around us.
Angels are always present in our lives, from the ones we can see to the divine. Angels aren’t just an ornament on my Christmas tree. They are real and they are in every part of our lives. Angels protect and defend us. Lately I have been thinking about the people in my life and how… Continue reading Angels are all around us.
