The Gift of Worship

The Gift of Worship

I am reposting this Christmas blog from 2013 because this year I’ve been so impressed (again) with the importance of worship. And I’ve also learned (again) the gifts that God gives in return when we choose to “come and worship.” Our son Sam was asked to play the Christ child in the Christmas program years ago. […]

God of the Yogurt and the Blueberries

After the recent death of my husband, I was able to spend a few days in NH with my son and his family. Because of their limited space, some of those days I stayed in the home of a family from their church who was out of town. It was wonderful to have time with […]

Someone You Can Count On

Someone You Can Count On

I don’t recall ever hearing a sermon preached or an article written on the reliability of God but it’s a wonderful truth. I was reading in 2 Corinthians this morning where Paul says “these things happened so that we wouldn’t rely on ourselves, but on God.” (1:9) I was thinking of circumstances in my own […]

Opportunity Knocks

It was 10:30 at night when someone pounded on our front door. While I was debating what to do, they pounded again and so did my heart. Peter is tall enough to look out the high windows on our door and recognized our neighbor so we opened the door and invited him in. The background […]

Do You Have a Yet?

Do You Have a Yet?

Habakkuk had some questions for God? There were things he saw that didn’t seem right or fair. There were things that didn’t make sense to him, and so Habakkuk confronted God with his questions and doubts. God didn’t give Habakkuk answers, instead He reminded him of His greatness, of His glory, of His eternal perspective […]

The Potter’s Right

The Potter’s Right

I’ve been struck by a very simple question found in Romans 9:21 – a simple question but with profound implications. “Does not the potter have the right?” In the illustration of the potter and the clay, the answer is clear. Yes, of course. The clay simply yields to the potter’s hands and becomes what the […]
