Less Fortunate

1424) I am fortunate because my parents made it a priority that I learn about and know the word of God — the Bible. The lessons I learned growing up have given me the foundation for a productive life and ministry through teaching and writing. These thoughts came to mind while reading Psalm 41:3. Here,

Faith Healing

1423) I have known and read about people who say God has healed them from many things. They were suffering one moment and in the next; they were whole. I cannot say I have experienced this sort of healing, but I believe the God who created the entire universe can certainly do these things when

Welcome!

1422) I miss my grandparents. When they were alive and I’d pick up the phone to call them, my grandfather always said so tenderly, Hey honey! I could hear the excitement in his voice and in my grandmother’s. I always felt welcomed by them, with no exception. This sense of welcome is what Paul describes

Recognition

1421) We all desire recognition. We may not want it to be publicly given, but we yearn for our contributions, ideas, and talents to be noticed. Have you ever considered, however, that people recognize what we say and do because of the family we come from? Oh, that must be so-and-so’s daughter; she acts just

Brotherly Love

1420) Take a moment and think of the people you enjoy being around. Now, think about why you enjoy them. Is it because they constantly talk about only themselves? Is it because they frequently belittle you? Is it because you enjoy being around people with whom you have nothing in common? Of course, the answer

In the Beginning, there was Love

1419) The gospel of John tells us from the start, In the beginning was the Word.. and the Word was God. And, who is God? 1 John 4:16 tells us, God is love. So, putting the two together, we see that in the beginning, there was love. Where is love in the beginning? Look through

The Taste Test

1418) It’s amazing to me that something that tastes so good to me does not even appeal to my husband. Boiled peanuts, for example; he hates them and I love them. Something else that’s interesting is that God did not have to create us with the ability to taste anything. He could have just bypassed

Love Me, Love My God

1417) Having spent most of my life working with children, I have seen that kids usually treat each other in the manner they feel the other person has treated them. I don’t think that kids are the only ones who do this. Don’t we often find we are responding to others in ways we feel

I Forgot

1416) I’m in my late 50s and my memory isn’t what it used to be. Though I usually have no trouble pulling out information from my brain, it’s now a slower process. It’s frustrating when you can’t put together your thoughts like you could years before. Now, saying “I forgot” can often be the case.

Cause and Effect

1415) As someone who yearns for predictability, the laws of life are comforting. Knowing every cause always produces an effect is one such example. Though predictable, it’s easy to forget that actions always bring consequences and, yes, consequences include positive ones. Proverbs 21:21tells us that pursuing righteousness (or rightness) and love will always result in
