A Mother’s Greatest Gift
by RHONDA ~ She is a single mom and works 40 plus hours a week. She does her best to make ends meet. I was very humbled and deeply touched when I received an email from her. It was shortly after Christmas. She shared in her email that, this Christmas, she had no money to...
Top 10 Reasons NOT to Share Our Faith!
by RHONDA ~ I know I’m unique, one-of-a-kind different. I don’t let that stop me from being me, although I’m glad there is a delete button and I use it. Ha! This may be one of those times that I should have hit “delete” as I list the “Top 10 Reasons People Are Not Telling...
The Front Porch View
I love sitting on the front porch doing my devotions. The sun is rising. Birds are chirping; a Hawk just squawked. Oh, WOW, a large Heron just flew by. Squirrels are scurrying, here and there, balancing on the tree branches. The grass, once brown, is now green. The Japanese Maple looks lovely with its rust...
Presence and Presents? Yes!
Today as I was reading my Chronological Bible this verse stood out to me. Numbers 18:20, “I (the Lord) am your share and your inheritance among the Israelites.” Oh, WOW, that is amazing to consider–the Lord is our inheritance! In the Wiki dictionary it reads, “Inheritance is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts,...
The Lord’s Prayer
Today I have been thinking about “The Lord’s Prayer”. It is so beautiful. I am thankful Jesus taught His disciples this prayer. I am blessed to be His disciple too. Thank You, Jesus, my Lord. Traditional version (Matthew 6:9-13). Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be...
He touched me!!!
The past several years Gary and I have gone through more trials and struggles than ever. We have served in Deaf ministry for almost 30 years, and I had become weary. The enemy was trying to beat us down, because he knows the best years for reaching Deaf men, women, and children are NOW! I...
Now more than ever our children need…
by RHONDA ~ Do you have a loved one who is on a path away from the Lord”? Then I want to encourage you with one of my favorite scriptures. In Jeremiah 31:3 the Lord says, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” The Lord God is...
Start!
The past few weeks I have been thinking about reading through the Bible in 2011. Then today I logged into Facebook and the very first post on my wall was by the author Francine Rivers and began, “I started reading the One Year Bible this morning.” I clicked to read her blog and was inspired...
Run with abandon
To believe there is a God and not know Him is to stand on the seashore - sand between your toes - wind blowing your hair - captivated by the rolling waves - standing there…standing there…standing there not experiencing the joy of the water’s embrace. Don’t wait another second–BELIEVE! Run with abandon to the God...
My Christmas Prayer
by RHONDA ~ It is easy to become so busy preparing for Christmas that Christ is left out. I do enjoy the Christmas traditions we’ve developed through the years, such as, our ornament exchange, new pajamas for everyone to open Christmas Eve, and our Christmas Eve family devotional. On top of those traditions, there is...
