Anytime Dad wanted to make his point he’d always call me Tammy Lynn. Middle names were given by mothers and fathers to make children sit up and pay attention, a sort of call to order when important things were being spoken. Dad used to say with that, some day you’ll see that I’m right, tone [...]

It was a lovely azure blue-sky day in Colorado, with wispy, white clouds creating animal pictures in the sky. The drive out to Hanging Lake for our hike took about 40 minutes, and the view of the mountains was absolutely breathtaking. Spindly fingers of crystallized ice seemed to weave their way down the sides of [...]

Don’t worry about anything. Instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. –Philipians 4:6 (NLT) At this time of the year when love is on [...]

I had just settled into my new home, at the beginning of a new year, all the furniture in place, the dishes neatly stacked in the kitchen cabinets, my daughter’s bed made—at least for the moment, my husband’s office organized, and my closet put together with every shoe in its own individual cubby (a delightful [...]

Today my husband, Jim, and I went to the crafts store to buy Christmas decorations. We purchased one of those 12 foot, pre-lit faux trees that you can erect in 15 minutes, or so the box says. In truth, we still can’t get the bottom three rows of tree branches to light and we’ve [...]

"I love you, LORD. You are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my protection, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to Him for safety. He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender. I will call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I will be saved from my enemies." Psalm 18:1-3
There have been times in my life when I wondered if You were listening to me. Yet lately there is no doubt. I see You answer so concisely, Father. Can I ever praise You enough?! My words seem so insignificant at this moment. I thank You, O Lord, with what little I can offer. I am overwhelmed with Your tender grace. My heart overflows with joy and sweet peace because I sense Your great love for me. How could I ever live without You, God? I could not!
You are Life, You are Love, You are Listener. There is no other god but You. Thank You, Jesus, that when I came to the well seeking Your living water You freely gave and You continue giving every day. And now I will rest in knowing You have me and mine safe in Your hands. In Jesus Precious Name, amen.
This is my prayer for today,
Julie
