Jesus said in John 15:13 “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Today, we in America celebrate this. There are countless men and women that have gave it all for all of us.  We remember them and their ultimate sacrifice; we give them and their families honor and […]

Jeremiah 29:11 Have you ever woken up ready to face the day, and then after a few hours when it seems like everything is falling apart, you wish you would have just stayed in bed and not even started the day? What if in those moments, everything is not falling apart but falling into place? […]

While driving the other day on one of the back roads, I had to stop for a mama black bear and her two cubs to cross the road. I got so excited because I am not from Pennsylvania and have only seen one once since I have lived here. So I watched them in awe […]

Psalm 34:1 I know that I am often guilty of praising and thanking God during the good times, but during the rough times, I get so focused on trying to solve the problems on my own that I almost forget that God is there. It is important to praise and thank God for everything in […]

Proverbs 1:33 I notice when I drive, I keep a tight grip on my steering wheel. Especially in traffic, traveling in unfamiliar territory, on slippery roads or in bad weather. This made me think how life on this Earth can make your fists tighten, gripping too hard on things, holding on too tight to objects, […]

Matthew 6:19-21 A few weeks back, my mom asked me to help her sort through some of her jewelry she had collected over the years; she wanted to give special pieces to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Not realizing she had 9 jewelry boxes to sift through, it took us a lot longer than I […]

Philippians 2:13-15 Ever have one of those days especially on a Monday, when you don’t want to talk to anyone, go anywhere or do anything? I think we all have. Have you ever had this thought though; Did Jesus ever fell like this? Nah I doubt it. I could never hear him thinking, “I don’t […]
