I have taken a break from the fun task of making Christmas goodies; slow but syncopated music fills the air; thoughts of family stir in my heart. I am spending imaginary time with my grandchildren this morning; the music leads the way; they flesh it out. I’m letting my ideas run their erratic course. Something […]

I want to see God. Then again, want might be the wrong word. “Want” implies that I’ll be able to go on with life without the desire fulfilled, doesn’t it? I want a pumpkin spice latte, for instance, but will I survive without it? Sure. I’ll settle for what’s at hand and keep that particular […]

A Little Note of Encouragement!
I hope that you are abiding in Jesus. I pray that you remember He is always near. In everything, in all things, He is with you. Nothing is too hard for the One who holds all things together. Your heart is safe with Him, the One who is Life and Love.
John 1:2 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
Colossians 1:17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
John 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
John 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
1 John 4:8b ...for God is love.
Hoping and praying,
Christie
