Abounding Joy and Peace

Good Afternoon. This Sunday is different from other Sundays. Instead of rushing to get ready for our church service, we leisurely got ready and watched it online. The kids also had an online service to watch. During this unprecedented time, I have been hanging on to my faith. It has brought me peace and comfort.… Continue reading Abounding Joy and Peace

Hearts Overflowing With Peace and Goodness

Good Afternoon! So, it is day 14 of being home. The news is confusing. Is the country not doing enough to stop the spread of the virus? Or, is the country being too cautious? Did Virginia make the decision to close schools too soon? Yes. No. Maybe so? All this information is swirling around and… Continue reading Hearts Overflowing With Peace and Goodness

God Patiently Waits For Us

Good Morning. We watched Sunday Services online today. Strangely, this is our new normal for an indefinite period of time. I feel like God is trying to get our attention. We were too busy with activities, work and stuff, that we did not have time for God. Now, we do have extra time. I feel… Continue reading God Patiently Waits For Us

Do Not Fear, God Is In Charge

Good Evening. Our church service was canceled today, however we were blessed with an opportunity to watch online services. The Coronavirus has caused major changes to our everyday lives. This morning our pastor said that the last time something like this happened was the Bubonic Plague or "Black Death". At that time, there were so… Continue reading Do Not Fear, God Is In Charge

Thank you, God, for this opportunity to stay safe

Good morning. How are you doing through this Coronavirus Pandemic? I mentioned yesterday that our county has closed schools through next week. Our neighboring state, Maryland has closed schools for two weeks, starting on Monday. Yesterday, our county was the first school closing announced (besides universities). I trust in God, but yesterday, I felt uneasy.… Continue reading Thank you, God, for this opportunity to stay safe

No One Knows the Day or Hour

This morning, I received a phone call from the school. Schools are closed today through next week, because of precautions to protect us from the Cornonavirus. I thought this would happen, but I didn't think it would happen so soon. How can something expected catch me off guard? I know Jesus will come back to… Continue reading No One Knows the Day or Hour

Maybe Our Purpose In Life Is Not So Complex

Good morning. Yesterday was sunny and warm in Virginia. The neighborhood kids happily played and ran outside, soaking in the sun and warmth. I am not a fan of hot weather, but yesterday was in the  mild mid-70's. It was quite nice. Today, it is rainy and chilly, and I cannot get warm. In a… Continue reading Maybe Our Purpose In Life Is Not So Complex

If God is for us, who can be against us?

Good Morning. I am still yawning from the time change. I will be happy tonight with daylight savings time, when it is bright and not dark. We spent the weekend at my mom's house, going through her stuff. Somehow I ended up with a dozen boxes and crates of photo albums and pictures, that I… Continue reading If God is for us, who can be against us?

God Shows Up Completely For His Children

Good Morning! I live in Virginia, so schools are closed tomorrow for Super Tuesday. Everyone has an opinion about our current president. I wish that everyone spoke so boldly for Jesus Christ. The bible says that the gospel must be preached to all nations. With the internet and social media, this seems possible. Some people… Continue reading God Shows Up Completely For His Children
