The Gift of an Unexpected Visitor
When I came home from work the other day, I looked outside my window to see an unexpected visitor in my bird feeder. The poor thing looked a bit afraid, like maybe I was going to tell him to leave, but seeing him there just made me smile. The food I set out in my…

The Gift of Going Your Own Way
Many times in my life I’ve asked people what they believe. It’s probably the question I deem to be most important in determining the role someone will play in my life. Unfortunately, about 75% of the time, I’m met with an answer that begins with “Well, I was raised…” Why do we do this? Why…

The Gift of Coming Home
No matter how long I’m gone away from home, I can always count on one thing: there’s someone inside that absolutely cannot wait to see me. The truth is, I don’t like traveling without Sassy. I wouldn’t be able to enjoy myself as I would be constantly preoccupied with wondering what she was thinking and…

The Gift of a Good Morning
I have a fascination with watching people’s morning routines they post online. I love to see someone romanticize their morning and make it their special time. What is it about mornings that make them so special? It’s a fresh start, a new beginning, a chance to let go of everything from the previous day that…

The Gift of a Hummingbird
I saw my first hummingbird of the year the other morning. I was starting think they weren’t going to show up this season, but I kept putting the nectar out, even though I felt a little silly. If you know me, you know I love birds, especially hummingbirds. I love them so much, I’ll continue…

The Gift of an Artist Named God
As I was looking through my rock collection recently, I began to recall all the beautiful places I’ve been. Our God is many things—Father, Friend, True Love, and Artist. When I look at God’s creation in all its beauty and glory, I remember that the very same God that created it all also created me.…

The Gift of God’s Light
Last Friday, during the wee hours of the morning, I (among thousands of others) lost power due to the heavy winds of a thunderstorm. The next day, there was absolutely no light at the end of the tunnel; we couldn’t even get an estimated time of restoration. I felt the proverbial light exit right out…

The Gift of a God Who Reads
On May 20th, 2023, I began a new journey—prayer journaling. I felt strongly God was trying to get me to start recording my prayers, so that’s exactly what I did. Something magical happens when we record something; it becomes more tangible, more real. We are able to go back in time and visibly see the…

The Gift of What God Gives
I recently spent the afternoon with some ducks at Strawberry Patch Park. As I fed them, I watched them each race to get the bite of food. I had plenty for them all, but they didn’t know that. Instead of slowing down to enjoy their meal, they saw the experience as a competition. It frustrated…

The Gift of Forgetting
Some kids at work and I recently did some painting together. Their joy was so contagious. I noticed something in the middle of our project, something I believe made their experience even more enjoyable than my own—their ability to forget. When I told them we were painting that day, I watched each of their little…
