Get Dressed: Compassion

1216) When the seasons change in Maine, I spend a morning moving my clothes from one season and replacing those for the upcoming one. Winter and summer here are dominant seasons (though those of you in warmer climates won’t think our summers are “real” ones). The fall and spring seasons often just meld into them.

Feeding the Fire

1215) Several years ago, when I was living in North Carolina, my husband and I had just turned off the light at bedtime and as my head hit the pillow, I head a loud boom! Both of us sat up straight, unsure of what happened. I got up and looked out the window. I immediately

What Seems and What Is

1213) Things are not always as they seem. Madeleine L’Engle said it best in her book, A Wrinkle in Time. The conversation goes: “We do not understand what this means to see.” ‘Well, it’s what things look like,’ Meg said helplessly. “We do not know what things look like, as you say,” the beast said.

Choosing Captivity

1212) I had the privilege of hearing a gentleman speak several years ago; he was a survivor of Auschwitz. I took a group of 7th graders to hear him and was not prepared for what I heard. He spoke with pride of his Jewish heritage, but also of the atrocities of being held captive in

Roots

1211) Many years ago, at the high school where I taught, I heard of a mistake that had many consequences in the days and weeks to come. Evidently, someone was supposed to put fertilizer on the football field (or some such thing) and, instead, they put Roundup on it. As you can guess, Roundup got

A Time to Mourn

1209) Have you ever come to a point in your life when your heart just feels like it’s going to break in two? If you haven’t, you will. When I see someone I love grieving. When I know someone must put their pet to sleep. When I witness the cruelty of words spoken and not

The Ministry of Encouragement

1208) Have you ever considered the power of encouragement? What would it mean to you to know that some of the main “players” in your life would be there to encourage you about specific things each day? Do you see it as making a difference in your attitudes, mood, and values? If so, how much

Understanding Grace

1206) It’s a good thing I am not the Judge of my own life or those of others. I know I don’t always live what I believe. Sometimes, at the end of a hectic day, I sit quietly and consider all that transpired. I will occasionally smile and think of the things I did well

Failure

1206) It’s a good thing I am not the Judge of my own life or those of others. I know I don’t always live what I believe. Sometimes, at the end of a hectic day, I sit quietly and consider all that transpired. I will occasionally smile and think of the things I did well

I’ve Heard About You

1205) When you live in a small town, your business often becomes everyone’s business. It really doesn’t matter if the information is positive or negative, news gets around. In consideration of this, have you ever taken the time to sit back and think about what others may “hear” about you? What are you known for?
