The Fullness of His Grace

When my son began to talk, he mispronounced many words and struggled to make certain sounds. Not out of the ordinary for a baby, and it was sweetly reminiscent of my little sister, Mary, who spoke with a slight lisp and chewed her words when she spoke in a way that mesmerized all she met. Mary’s little lisp was cute and captivating when she was a child, and she eventually grew out of it (for the most part – I can still hear it when she is really tired).

How to Choose a Gift

My mother gave gifts based on what she wanted to do.

She might zero in on a particular grandchild for Christmas and do something really special for them – like build a doll house.

I’m Not Done Yet

So many things have gone on in my life in the last several days. Seems like the devil is working overtime to try and steal my joy. But, that is life, and it’s hard to have a message if there isn’t a mess to go through, or a testimony if there aren’t some tests along the way. “Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:2-4 So…bring it on Satan! I’m not done yet. Continue reading “I’m Not Done Yet” →
