Light for Today: For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 NIV

Enduring Love

We know all about love being kind, not jealous, does not brag and the rest of 1 Corinthians 13. We've read that chapter many times and heard many sermons preached on it. But what about "endures all things?" That means the good and the bad. Our mate might suffer an incurable illness but we endure with him. Our children might have a premature baby with a long hospital stay but we endure with them together. Love is wonderful but love also involves enduring hardships with tolerance. There is no hardship that love cannot endure.

Light for Today: Be kind and compassionate to one another...Ephesians 4:32

Praying Desperately

I read an article last week about an alcoholic who was in a rehabilitation center. He wanted so badly to conquer his addiction. He prayed DESPERATELY, because there was NO ONE else that could help him. He fell on the floor and pounded his fist on the floor crying DESPERATELY for help. I'm afraid too many times we pray half-hearted. We need to pray with faith DESPERATELY. God will hear us!

Light for Today: Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. Psalm 61:1

Can You Hear God?

artist: Trina Clark

Can you hear God? If you want to hear Him you have to be near Him. You can't be filling your mind with a thousand distractions. You must BE STILL. Sometimes you need be alone with your Bible and ask God to speak to you. Remember also that you can talk to Him about anything that's on your heart!

Light for Today: ..Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. Genesis 6:9 NIV

The Ordinary

The Lord delights in the ordinary. He speaks to us in the midst of ordinary toil on an ordinary road. He's my companion on an ordinary journey.



Light for Today: This is the day which the Lord has made: Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Sisters (Friends)

artist: Grandma George

I never get tired of posting about friends. My friends are very dear to me. I had no sisters and no daughters so my friends have always been special I am thankful that God has blessed me with two wonderful daughter-in-laws. My dearest friends are sisters-in-heart. Today I will share a little something that is written by Elizabeth Shaw about sisters but I also think it can be applied to dearest friends.

For when three sisters love each other with such sincere affection, the one does not experience sorrow, pain, or affliction of any kind, but the others' heart wishes to relieve, and vibrates in tenderness. Like a well-organized musical instrument.

Light for Today: There are "friends" who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24
