You know, Lord, it was fun to listen to friends share about their children. One gal, ‘J. C. ‘, shared that her little girl loved trees and leaves and flowers and would pause, occasionally, and look to heaven and thank the Lord for the beauty. ‘J.C.’ said that once she heard her daughter, while she was kneeling and looking up into the trees: “Lord, Grandma said that YOU have said, about 30 or more times in the Bible, that YOU know or count the hairs on our heads, that You know their number. So, Father God, I’m just asking, do You also know h...
You know, Lord, some kids nearby were sharing how they’d heard how some use the Alphabet when talking so they decided to try it, so here goes. “All I want for Breakfast is some Chocolate milk Daddy, please; eventhough Fannie next door, would prefer sharing tea.” “Hey, don’t forget GOD! Heaven is His Home; He gave us Jesus who said that He was the way, the truth and the light.” “Someone’s knocking at the door; Leila, go see who that could be. Maybe it’s the neighbor boy, he likes to come over to visit.” We heard him say, ‘PLEASE, may I quic...
You know, Lord, a friend said that ‘friend’ is used to define a person who knows all your faults but loves you anyway’; saying, she’d found a slip of paper in her Grandma’s Bible that listed a lot of words related to ‘friendship’. Grandma also mentioned that we were to remember that Jesus said: ‘Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid,’ - reminding us to check out JOHN 14:27.” ‘Elisa’ then asked’ “What WERE some of the words you were going to...
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’. Last week, a short elderly lady, tried to reach a box of pasta off the top shelf in the grocery store; no way could she reach it. A lad near her, turned, asked if she needed help. 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. To give a helping hand, to be a p...
You know, Lord, another friend shared about a prayerful ‘blurb’ she’d recently read which reminded her of where she’d lived or visited. ‘Jenny’ mention that she was having morning devotions near a window that looked out over a peaceful pond; which is way South; out of our state. Anyway, she heard the birdies singing, saw the sky was dusted with soft shades of blue and white which made her aware of Jesus’s presence. But she’d lived in other places, where views were less serene with a littered alley in a crime-ridden neighborhood as a backdrop ...
You know, Lord, had to ‘eavesdrop’ a bit when a small group gathered. One lad said, “Auntie, some lady gave my mom a silly calendar with weird things written by each day. Mom opened it, looked things over, then started to laugh and said, ‘Laddy, would you believe on your birthday, in March, it shows that your day, the 23rd, it’s ‘Chip and Dip Day’ and neighbor, Helen’s day, the 1st, is Peanut Butter Lover’s Day.’ And look at this, the 3rd – which is Uncle John’s birthday, it shows that one is supposed to wear red? Can we even imagine Uncle J...
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...
