Today is Word Filled Wednesday where God's Word is shared through verse and picture.

"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me." Matthew 25:40


So many times it is easy to feel insignificant. In our vast world often those who are seen and heard are the ones who are recognized and can seem important. God's Word gives us the assurance that if we share His love, even in the smallest action, even to the person of the least esteem, we have done it for Jesus. There is no one above or beneath the reach of God's grace and love and yet, He chooses us to show His love to them. What an awesome encouragement that our great God notices the smallest deed that is done. Also what an inspiration to be alert to ways to show God's grace to others and to be diligent to be kind and gracious in every situation. Who greater can these things be done for?

    Seems like God keeps drawing my attention to others He wants me to reach out to lately. This verse is a great snapshot of truth about "why" and "how" I should be confident to obey Him. Thanks for sharing.

    lovely verse and I love the flowers as a symbol of the giving and blessings we can do for others.
    How often we miss the chance to change someone's day with a gift of flowers.
    I think that is what has grieved me most, and it just occurred to me as I wrote that, that in our last 3 yrs of drought here in Vic Australia I have not had as many flowers to give when I go to visit someone. Another reason to plead God's grace to give us rain.

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.
