In need of a Selah ~

[first]I’m longing for a pause.[/first] These days are filled commotion and excitement.  A long to-do list vies for my attention.  There are gifts to be shipped {which, incidentally, will not be arriving on time}. Cards to be mailed.  Presents to be wrapped. Laundry to be done.  Kids. Work.  And a loved one lying in a hospital bed several hours away that I want to visit.  I am pulled in a thousand directions. And there aren’t enough hours in the day…. Read more »

The Memory Keeper ~

[first]I found these the other day. They were buried beneath books and paper in an old basket.  I haven’t seen them in a few years.   But I needed to see them now.   In this season.[/first]   When all the nation had finished passing over the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua, “Take twelve men from the people, from each tribe a man, and command them, saying, ‘Take twelve stones from here out of the midst of the Jordan,… Read more »

A Blessing for the Weekend ~

 They shall spring up among the grass like willows by flowing streams. This one will say, ‘I am the LORD’s’, another will call on the name of Jacob, and another will write on his hand,’The LORD’s’, and name himself by the name of Israel. Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and His Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: I am the first and the last; besides Me there is no god. Isaiah 44:4-6 Praising Him in community with Sandy… Read more »

A Word for your Sunday ~

[first]Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in His holy place? [/first]He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully. He will receive blessing from the LORD and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.  ~Psalm 24: 3-6 Joining Deidra and… Read more »
