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…

The Gift of the Unbeautiful Thing
As I walked the other day, I noticed so much beauty around me; it’s what I love about spring. What is it that makes spring so beautiful? The new life around us, the flowers in bloom, the leaves growing back on the trees, the sunshine and rain. There’s something else though that so many of…

The Gift of Baby Steps
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin. (Zechariah 4:10) One of my babies at work is learning to walk. It’s brought me so much joy to see him make his way around the playpen, holding on to the gate as he moves step by step. Of all…

The Gift of Surrender: Go Where You Grow
This is my baby rubber plant. It doesn’t look so much like a baby anymore, does it? Over the years, I noticed the more it grew, the more it began to lean over. This used to really frustrate me, and I kept trying to get it to stand upright. Finally, I surrendered, and when I…

The Gift of a Hidden Thing
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, and the glory of kings is to search it out. (Proverbs 25:2) A friend and I decided to do an “escape room” recently, and we had so much fun! One of the rules to the game was that we must go into the room with…
