Now They All Know I Love Them

February 13, 2015 by

* Affiliate links included. Timmy’s family had recently moved to a small town where he had begun second grade.

What I Love About Him

February 2, 2015 by

“Un” Husband Bashing Can I safely say, we’ve all done it? Sitting around with a group of women listing the things that get on our nerves about our husbands.  I feel like men are guilty of this too, however, we are probably worse because we are known as the “talkers.”  If we aren’t careful, we’ll end up harming someone else’s marriage.  Someone in that group may desperately need to hear uplifting words. Remember: Negative comments and bad attitudes are contagious! {Read More}

Lasting Valentines

February 11, 2014 by

Grandparents make a huge impact on their grandchildren’s lives. Although all my grandparents lived on another continent and I never met them, they passed on a godly heritage through their faith and prayers. In turn, I want to pass on a Christian heritage to my grandchildren and future generations I will never meet. One way to bless your grandchildren is to give them a Valentine’s Day gift of prayer. That simply means you spend extra time praying for them. You {Read More}

Love

February 14, 2013 by

I once was looking for love and I could not find it. It eluded me for many years. That which I believed to be love was only a vanishing mist over the waters of fantasy; the deep waters of fantasy. I dared to dip my toe past the mist into the cool wetness of liquid reality. Refreshing as it was, still it was not truth. I once was looking for love. “I’ve been calling out to you,” said Love, “You {Read More}

Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies

February 6, 2013 by

A while back, I was sitting in one of my classes, Spiritual Formation to be exact, where we were all sharing special traditions. One lady explained how her mother would make cookies every Sunday afternoon to put in her children’s lunches all week. I was fascinated, what a glorious tradition! The Horner Homemaking House, where I live and work at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, has a ministry of offering beverages and cookies to guests who arrive to fix appliances, make {Read More}

A Valentine for Jesus

February 14, 2012 by
