Stones of Gratitude

2049) Sometimes it’s easy to draw conclusions about people and why they act and say specific things. The problem with this is we cannot completely see the whole picture of that person. People are so complicated and if we could see the puzzle of someone’s life, we would have more compassion, grace and love for

Peace

2048) Desiring peace is not the same as wanting happiness and contentment. Peace can inhabit that place within your spirit which longs to understand the things that are often not understandable in this life.   Peace is not something you can buy or even manufacture. It is the result of trusting that even though the

Experts Still Learn

2047) I don’t know if I can say I’m an expert in anything. I can do many things well, but an expert?   If there are things a person does well and has done it for decades, it’s easy to conclude they don’t need to increase their knowledge.   For example, on the first day

A Learned Behavoir

2046) When a baby is born and begins to grow, one of its milestones is learning how to speak. It’s exciting to hear a baby’s first words and as more words are added to the young one’s vocabulary; it’s an endearing thing.   As I think of this milestone, I wonder if it would be

On Purpose

2043) I am fortunate I knew from a very young age I wanted to be a teacher, and I became one. That has been one purpose I have cultivated and used for God. (Some years more successfully than others in my mind.)   In considering purpose, 1 Peter 1:16 comes to mind. It says to

The Importance of Testing

2042) I never took a test well when I was in high school. I think some of it was that the only way I knew to study was memorizing and I couldn’t possibly memorize everything for tests. I wish I had had someone show me how to study so that testing could reflect what I

The Result of Justice

2041) There will always be people who are looking to take advantage of situations where there is little accountability; of those who don’t realize they are being shortchanged. These people often pride themselves for coming out on top.   Proverbs 21:15 addresses this subject. Here it states when justice is done, it is a joy

Eyewitnesses

2040) When some event happens that several people witness, their statements on what they saw will be different. They usually are not contradictory, but there will be things one person saw and others didn’t.   Eyewitnesses are important because they can give credibility to what they are reporting. The apostle Peter tells us in his
