The Gift of a Stable Heart
It’s been a while since I’ve had some intentional exercise. This past weekend, I decided I was going to get one good work out in. By the time Sunday rolled around, I told myself I didn’t feel like it. I sat there for a minute and considered just putting it off. I didn’t feel like…

The Gift of Anticipation
This is “Kamilla”, my rose bush. Notice all the red tips—she’s about to start blossoming! Spring is right around the corner, and everything is about to come into bloom. We are in the midst of something wonderful, something almost as wonderful as spring itself—the anticipation of spring. The beautiful thing about anticipation is that it…

The Gift of Being Different
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:2) As I drove home from work this past week, I saw a cluster of black birds together on a billboard. There must have been at least 50. Right as I drove past, one bird got up from…

The Gift of Reflection
To reflect is to throw back light instead of absorbing it. Light reflects light; darkness absorbs light—this is a law of physics. The absorption of light is what makes an object dark. When light is absorbed by an object, the energy is converted to heat. Perhaps this is why the Bible refers to Hell as…

The Gift of a Quiet Place
The Gospel tells us that Jesus made a habit of going out to a quiet place, in the wilderness to pray. His solitude is a major theme in the Bible as it was a source of His wisdom and compassion. It can be easy for worldly relationships at times to distract us from our time…

The Gift of Love
“There is nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline no matter how many times it is sent away.” unknown I’ve always loved this quote. It reminds me of the type of love God has for us. No matter what we do, no matter how many times we mess…
