Seasons through life

Matchbox cars, stuffed animals and little toys of various sorts. So many toys where my children played pretend. Sometimes I miss those days. Though now many of their toys are tucked up in the attic, maybe for someday when they have children of their own. When they were little time seemed to last a little…

In Him we can depend

Heavy is the load that we carry When we try on our own Oh, how weary When self-reliance is what we do Instead of going to God To help get us through Like an anthem we like to sing I can do it, I’ll get through it Instead of trusting Him who can do all…

All things best
Give it time, give it rest Pray and trust that He knows best Take a breath and let it out Don’t let your fear, create doubt When you pray, believe He can And trust with all that He has planned Read His word, find comfort there Trust His peace, to take the fear Talk to…

Trust God through it
I was driving through what felt like a cloud of white. All I could see is that I was in the right lane. I could see an occasional headlight or street light when I came upon it. The roads were snow covered. I was surrounded by blowing snow, that left little room for good visibility.…

His ultimate design

I watched the man with his charcoal utensil in hand. He drew lines and squiggles, looking like nothing but random misshapen shapes. From the angle I saw, it left me wondering what could this man possibly be creating. Then, bit by bit, all the seemingly randomly placed scribbles, began to form. The man was finished,…
