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…

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 Remembering
My long term memory is quite vivid, and this is both a blessing and potentially a curse. As I’ve gotten older, I can fortunately say it’s much more a blessing. We all have the power to choose, to choose what we focus on and dwell on. I made the choice a long time ago to…

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 Her Clothing
Strength and dignity are her clothing. (Proverbs 31:25) In this photo, I’m wearing my new/old favorite top. I discovered this little treasure in the midst of a pile of clothes my mom was getting ready to donate. My mom has given so much to me—new clothes and old, but my most favorite “hammy downs” are…

The Gift of the Narrow Path
Narrow is the path that leads to life, and few will find it. (Matthew 7:14) Jesus tells us the path is wide that leads to destruction. It appears that the wide path is the easy path. The narrow path is paved with denial of self, hardships, and testing of your faith. But along with the…
