Every year when harvest is finished, the last acre cut, last bushel deposited in the truck to head to town, my heart wells thankfulness and at some point my tongue gives voice to a favorite old hymn of mine. “The God of harvest praise, In loud thanksgiving raise, Hand, Heart and Voice………” Harvest is […]
Praise and Promises in My Lord
I praise you Lord, for You are good. I bow in humble, grateful gratitude, You fill me up and pour me out and fill me up again-Amen. Oh, thank-you Lord, my Savior King, And Spirit-led, my heart it sings, For You ARE good, you hear my sighs, You steady me and calm my cries, My […]
With Jesus I Shall Meet
I lean my head against the couch and curl up my feet, My Bible lays upon my lap, With Jesus I shall meet. A cozy blanket ’round me wrapped, As I with Him retreat. I lift the cover of His Word, the pages rustle thin, I turn to Proverbs, then to John, Life-giving words […]
Floating on God’s Grace
I tap the app for YouTube and I type Casting Crowns by the blinking cursor in the search box. I can’t think of the name of their song I’m searching for. I scroll a bit and then, there it is! Thrive. I tap the box and tap the play and in as many seconds the music […]
Cake Pop Moments
Time is sacred because it is God’s gift to us. ~ Amanda Bible Williams Some days, I find myself wishing time away. Willing it move faster. Other moments find me trying to grasp time’s coattails and plant my feet and tug-of-war it into staying still. Some days it sounds so simple to be a […]
Faith and Focus on the Unseen
For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory. So we do not focus on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 Mary Magdalene went early. While it was still dark. […]
My Savior, My Jesus
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be FILLED! ~ Matthew 5:6 ~ Blessed Good Friday ~ I keep thinking about it. How I don’t excel very well at unselfishness. I’m not great at sacrificing for someone else. I don’t enjoy pain. I seek peace and avoid confrontation. Conflict stresses […]
Rain and Water and Rainbows
My big Kansas sky, that I audaciously call “mine” was shining full bright sunshine in the west while darker clouds and rain streaks suspended themselves in the eastern sky and added a touch of fancy to the show by dangling a rainbow down with a flourish. A rainbow is a promise of remembrance and I […]
Why I Fight To Delight In The Daily Details
There’s a reason I fight to delight in the daily details. There’s a reason I count gratitude for simple things and every good day. There’s a reason I try to create beauty in my home and everyday. There’s a reason I lean into looking for laughter and hunting out happiness. There’s a reason I meditate […]

A Thanksgiving Harvest
I watch the smoke spiral up from the sweet corn stalks and general garden tangle and I confess my first reaction is “glad-to-see-that-mess go” followed quickly by “no-garden-next-year” all played in sour tones and trebles. Then, I pause, a bit ashamed. Yes. That garden did become a big tangled, overgrown mess. It made me feel […]
Do I?
Do I find Him faithful? Does He keep His Word to me? Do I trust His goodness? in the things that I can’t see? Do I rest upon His Word? Do I kneel to pray? Do I trust His promises? Believe the things they say? Do I anchor down so deep? When life begins to […]
Faithfulness Pictured
Psalm 89:8 ~ O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O Lord? You are entirely faithful. Faithfulness is shown in the changing seasons. Green leaves turn into yellow and gold and red. Faithfully as this earth spins, the cycle of summer and autumn and winter and spring continues. Faithfulness is portrayed by […]
