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…

The Gift of My Angel
It was one of those days I just needed someone, someone who had been away for far too long—Ms. Angel, a dear coworker, a dear friend who broke her wing and had taken two months to recover. She would finally be returning by the end of that week, but Friday just couldn’t come soon enough.…

The Gift of a Heart-Shaped Rock
Today I just wanted to share a little something with you—my weird hobby. When I tell people I collect rocks, they often respond with “Rocks? What kind of rocks?” It’s not the type of rock that makes it special; it’s the place it was found in, the memories associated with it. When I take my…

The Gift of a Faith-Filled Morning
It all comes down to faith, doesn’t it? I wasn’t sure what God would have me write about, paint about that day, but I had faith He would show me. As I sat down that morning to read the last chapter of the book of Samuel, I soon realized faith was the very thing God…

The Gift of a Woman’s Joy

It’s really brought out two sides of my personality that are precious to me—my femininity as well as my inner-child. “Some days, you just have to take off work, put on some classical music and paint some flowers.” I told myself, and that’s exactly what I…

The Gift of God’s Fingerprint
I added a song to my worship playlist recently, and I’m loving it! “Fingerprints” by Abi Bennett. You gave Your life; now I am fully alive. You spoke Your truth and tore down all my walls. My life has the fingerprints of Christ. Be magnified through me. The lyrics to this song inspired me to…

The Gift of Hills
Whenever someone would tell me I was beautiful, I used to really take it to heart. In fact, I still do. Who doesn’t want to hear those words? As I’ve gotten older, though, there’s something that I long to hear even more than that. “I see God in you.” There is no higher compliment. When…

The Gift of Being His
You are God’s masterpiece. (Ephesians 2:10) Not the beautiful sunset, the stars nor the moon, not the blooming flower nor the bird with its tune— Not the four leaf clover, the grass nor the trees, not the queen of the ants, not the bumble bees— Not the sandy beach, nor the sea, nor the sky,…
