  • A Helpful Hand Hello, God, It's Me Mara

    Mara|Feb 5, 2025

    You know, Lord, a friend shared about seeing goodness of folks while out shopping. If we’re paying attention, we might also see a ‘helping hand’.

She smiled, pointed to a certain ‘box’ – he grabbed it, handed it to her; she thanked him. He actually looked a bit surprised to hear her say, ‘THANK YOU!’ He smiled, nodded and walked off.

Can we even imagine Uncle J...

  • Hello God, it's me, Mara - Dream Vacations

    Mara|Mar 9, 2016

    You know, Lord, friends were planning their dream vacation. They showed us brochures, were choosing a date and then were getting ready to purchase tickets. Oh, they had some wonderful plans. Although some of us may not have a dream vacation here on earth, we do have something wonderful to look forward to that is even greater than the plans of our dear friends. Your word tells us all about it, Lord, IF we believe in You! Sometimes stress gets unbearable; that’s when we need to pick up our personal brochure (the Holy Bible) and turn to R...
