Waiting on the Lord

Good Monday Morning Friends!

Waiting is just a part of life. Waiting in line. Waiting on the telephone. Waiting in the doctor's office. But I think that learning to wait on the Lord is a lifelong thing.

I'm thankful for God's kind grace - that He doesn't leave us alone while we wait. It's during these times that He lovingly conforms us to the likeness of His Son.

Sweet grace.

Two Posts: Celebrating the Light and Good Things Multiply In His Hands

Good Morning Friends,

I hope that this finds you well.

Lonny, the boys, and I are just back from a week on our favorite lake in Michigan. Sweet blessing! I'm learning to cherish these times - when the family is all together, at one time, in one place.

I missed the opportunity to share last week's posts, so I'd like to share the two links now. The first is about how watching my boys chase fireflies makes me think of Jesus - our one true light. The second is a reminder of His grace - how small, good things multiply in His hands.

Thank you for the gifts of your friendship and time. May you have a blessed day in God's amazing grace!

Trust, Even in the Face of Fear

Hello Friends,

Happy Monday!

Fear - one of my biggest struggles. Today I'd like to share about how a little girl at swim lessons encouraged my heart to trust the Lord.

His faithfulness is a precious thing!

Hello Friends,

Summer at last! Hard to believe that it's almost the Fourth of July.

In today's post, I share how I'm reminded of my need for God's Word...to refresh, replenish, revive. Here's the link:
