In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) When I hear the words, “thank you.” My heart and mind are flooded with hymns of praise. For example, the hymn “Thank You Lord, For, Saving My Soul” by Seth and Bessie Sykes. It says in God’s Word […]

Have you ever had someone drop into your life at a time when you needed help or perhaps just a friend? Some would say that it was a coincidence or a stroke of luck. But have you considered that they were sent by God to meet your need? Perhaps, an angel? Several years ago, I lost my mother,
Have you ever worn a mask? You wear a smile on the outside, while torn in the inside. The body, mind, and soul, is in a tizzy! The mixture of feelings, commotions, and beliefs are so well hidden under this disguise you are convinced there is no hope, or no way out. The smile replaces

THE LEGACY I would like to tell you of an amazing and special lady. The Depression Era hit hard in 1929. The stock market crashed on Tuesday October 29, 1929 (Black Tuesday) and started a chain of events that led to a ten-year economic slump that affected all of the industrialized countries in the world! Food was

Been thinking lately about whether I truly believe God is in control. Or is it just something I say when I’m feeling “spiritual”, and everything is “peachy?” Or, is it what I say to encourage someone, or do I say it when I am at a loss for words in a difficult situation? About a year
