Word Filled Wednesday

Happy Wednesday! Word Filled Wednesday is a highlight of my week as God's Word flows in abundance and brings cheer, hope and encouragement to many. Since we all seem to be in "the love mode" due to Valentine's Day coming right up, of course my verse is about - LOVE!


This is the first commandment and this is also where true love begins. God loves us with a love that can be uncomprehendable. God gave His only Son as a sacrifice to bring us to Him. He has a divine plan for each of us, which is for our good and He gives us everything that we need, in every area, physical, spiritual and emotional. God is good - All the time! How can we not love Him in return? When we acknowledge all He does for us and daily seek Him, our love for Him grows and that pure, measureless love He gives to us, flows out of our lives into the lives of others. So, we first love Him and then love others and that is pure love!

May your Word Filled Wednesday be filled with LOVE!

  3. I enjoyed this post. I was struck by this statement: He has a divine plan for each of us, which is for our good...

    Sometimes when He asks us to do something we don't want to do or don't like it's difficult to remember that! But what blessings abound when we obey Him!

    Thanks for the reminder:)

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
