Back In The Box!

As I watched them put the puzzle back in the box, after so much time finishing it, our lives came to mind. If you waste the time… talents… and blessings that God has given you, then at the end of your life everything goes back in the box.  If your days are full of nothing…

True Faith!

Do you ever feel as though your faith is weak? Days you feel like he is not to be found?   If your like me there are times you pray… times you ask for help… and you hope God answers. You hope he shows up. Then satan takes over and deep inside your not sure! …

Loving Others!

So why do we look at the differences in people instead of the love that Jesus sees? He looks dirty!  That man looks scary!  I should stop and talk to her but she smells!   As humans we put value  and importance on those we love and know… more than those we don’t. For me,…

This Christmas my heart has felt heavy with a burden of the things I see.   Two thousand years ago our Savior sacrificed the glories of heaven out of a deep love for us.   He come to this earth, as an infant, in order that we might have life.  As I attend Christmas parties……

Hug Day!

Thursday is hug day for me.   Every Thursday for several years now I go by the place where our son and daughter work and I give them a hug.  Today as I hugged my amazing children I thought of how deep my love is for them.   I then thought of our God.  As…

Where Is Happiness?

We spend our lives in search of another moment of happiness.  If we can just travel to this location we will be content.  If we can just get enough money in the bank we will be where we think contentment is.  If we can find just one more moment of thrills then we will feel…
