  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Philippians 4:11-13

    Contentment. Have you found that being content is sometimes difficult in this life of isolation, disability, and chronic illness? I have. I want things “my way.” That basically means that I would like to be able to do a ton more than I can currently do. I want to be out and active. I want…

  • Saturday Scripture

    Nutrition is so important to us physically, especially as those who are chronically ill. It is vital to keep us as healthy as we can be. In the same way, Scripture is vital for us to stay healthy spiritually. One thing that I have been determined to do this year is to saturate in Scripture…

  • Thankful Thursday

    Today, I am thankful for the beauty of winter. We received a dusting of snow yesterday. It is beautiful. God has faithfully granted beauty in every season. He faithfully has the seasons come and go. Genesis 8:22, “22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Psalm 9:910

    Do you need comfort, strength, and assurance as you approach another week? I do. Psalm 9:9-10, “9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.” Read those verses again.…

    Our verse for today is Psalm 55:22, “22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Perhaps your New Year did not start out the way you had anticipated. Perhaps you are feeling so alone or disappointed or hurt or fearful right now. Perhaps you…

    God is faithful. Saturday and last night, we had family time for the holidays. It may seem like a simple statement, but this year has been full of challenges for many in our family. God was faithful throughout it all! We do not take these times for granted. They are precious. God is faithful. As…

  • Thankful Thursday

    Today, I am thankful for my Christian Heritage. It is something I do not take for granted. My parents, grandparents, and great grandparents all love(d) Jesus. What are you thankful for today?

  • Christmas Special

    I enjoyed this presentation and thought you may as well: Sing! Irish Christmas. It was at the Museum of the Bible and wonderful!

  • Monday Merriment

    Ever had one of these days? “I’m just going to put an ‘out of order’ sticker on my forehead and call it a day.” ~Found on Pinterest Note… this is not me today; it simply struck me funny as that is what happens with chronic illness some days.  

  • Faithful Friday

    God is faithful. This week, I saw God’s hand in protection, provision, and wisdom. I went into an unexpected doctor appointment with expectations. My expectations were not correct. The doctor not only understood what I was describing happening, but took it more seriously than I was. (Oops.) She took time and listened. Then, God has…
