When I was a young Teacher in my twenties, I especially enjoyed the month of FEBRUARY. My Second Grade Class decorated EVERYTHING with colorful hearts and flowers! We shared how to show love and appreciation to others wherever we went. My job was easiest that month! Aglow Prison Ministry Volunteers are always involved in …
Matthew 14:27-33 “And HE said, ‘Come’. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, ‘Lord, save me’. And immediately Jesus stretched forth His Hand and caught him, …
Everything about Christmas is a miracle! God planned it before the worlds were formed. Prophets declared it for many years. “For unto us a child is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and his Name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6,7 …
When teaching school, I loved the month of November because it was always a special time of stories and decorations to celebrate “Thanksgiving Holiday”. During the 1990’s, November became the last month of the year I could drive “over the grapevine” before the coming winter fog and snow in California’s Central Valley. I often shared …
God surely had a divine purpose when He placed me in a musical family! From my earliest memories, I heard my maternal Grandmother sing songs about Jesus. She taught me how to play a few of them at age four years. Later, my Uncle paid my Formal Music Lessons. It was a joy to regularly …
God wants us to experience VICTORY in our daily lives. Like Joshua and Caleb, we’re able to possess our promised land by saying, “Give me my mountain!” But…are we ready to conquer GIANTS there? Anything that intimidates us can be a giant. It can appear suddenly, or threaten us for years. We either face it …
Many people Love to “go fishing” in summer! Although I am NOT one of them, I am glad to share a spiritual truth on fishing that is worth trying. “Master, we have fished all the night and have taken nothing; nevertheless at Thy word, I will let down the net.” Luke 5:5 If anyone knew …
Isaiah 43:2 “When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neithershall the flame kindle upon you. For I am the Lord thy God.” When life brings us expected situations, it is wise to quote God’s Word. His plans are always for good, but Jesus warned that the enemy’s plans are to “steal, …
My earliest memories of my Grandmother are her prayers! When I was sick, she laid her hands on me saying, “Be healed from the top of your head to the tip of your toes in Jesus Name.” Iwas never sick very long. When I went out the door to school, she said, “I plead the …
I treasure the “spiritual seeds” my Evangelist Grandmother planted into me as a child. She made Bible stories come alive! She told stories from a book written by her Missionary friend, Mrs. Cowman. Both are filled with spiritual TRUTHS that brought me safely through life’s hard places. I learned to TRUST God’s plans for me. …
