No Poor Among You
I did not grow up with all the fanciest things, but I was provided for well. I had all that I needed and then some. I had too many toys than I could play with at one time. I had too many books than I could read in a day. I always had food every … Continue reading No Poor Among You
No Good Thing
God wants the very best for us. This is something that some people cannot fathom because they do not truly know God. Often it is because we think we know what is best, that we grumble at things that are placed before us or we complain as we journey on a path that simply doesn’t … Continue reading No Good Thing
The Tip
My daughter went out to eat for her first sit down dinner with a group, where she was then required to take care of her own bill and tip accordingly. She was well prepared for the trip and was excited to have some time to spend with her friends dining out. When it was time … Continue reading The Tip
God With You

We all have this need for retribution but God doesn’t want us to “get even” with … Continue reading Payback with a Blessing
Going Beyond
I was blown away last month by an awesome display of Christian service. I serve the Lord and I see so many others serving the Lord. We are told to go above and beyond but we do not see it so often. I know many times I could do and give and say more. I … Continue reading Going Beyond
Open Hands
“When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things.” – Psalm 104:28 [NIV] If you have your hands closed, chances are it is going to be hard for you to grasp something. You have to open your hands up to have something placed … Continue reading Open Hands
Enough is Enough
My son opened up the fortune cookie and pulled out the small slip of paper. The paper read: “He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.” That is very true. During this time of year, it seems we spend so much time making Christmas lists, gift purchases and giving presents to each … Continue reading Enough is Enough
