My husband and I traveled home from the Rio Grande Valley yesterday and I noticed a small, white cross on each side of the road. I’d seen them a few weeks ago when we’d been to Rockport but not paid attention to what they honestly stood for: The horrible price those parents paid. The devastation that moment of truth brought; the never-ending loss. Continue reading

Praise the Lord
How often do we praise the Lord, if we’re not in church that is? I started thinking of how often I praise Him and decided it’s not often enough. I probably thank God more than I praise Him, unless I’m in a church-like setting or worshipping Him at home. Is there a difference between thanking and praising God? Continue reading
Hummingbirds, Whooping Cranes and Mountains
My husband and I enjoy going to Rockport, Texas where in September we watch as thousands of hummingbirds
gather to stock up on food before making the long trip to South America for the winter. These miniature jewels barely weigh 0.11 ounces, being only 3.75 inches long with a wingspan of 4.5 inches; yet many of them fly directly over the Gulf of Mexico. What a wonder our Master Creator made. Continue reading
My Destiny
Joy unspeakable!
How can I describe this blessedness?
So far surpassing all I imagined
The greatest words cannot do it justice.
“What joy,” you ask,
“What brings such rapture?”
The sign of my Jesus’ face!
How can I picture such love
Such compassion, even for me?
What word describes His glory?
The glory of the only begotten Son!
Then I see my Father!
Abba, Father.
The tears fall down my face
Tears of humility, adoration and love.
I kneel at His feet and worship
Almighty God!
No eye has seen
No ear has heard
No mind has conceived
What God has prepared
For those who love Him.
(1 Corinthians 2:9)
I cannot tell you all this wonder;
Truly, you must see it for yourself!
Welcome to Your New Home
God is getting ready a sign
Welcome to your new home.
That home
filled with love
forever in His presence
worshiping our Lord
in all His fullness and grace
no more tears
no more pain, uncertainty or fear
seeing all the saints
who’ve gone before.
But centered on Jesus
our Savior, Redeemer
the One who prepared the way
the Lamb of God
and Lord of lords
Also centered on our Father
God Almighty
Creator of all the universe.
Yet knows the hairs on our head
holy, just, having nothing to do with sin
but gave His only beloved Son
so we – you and I –
might call Him our Father.
Yes, God’s getting ready His welcome sign
but there’s no need to fear
fear is not from God
but the enemy of your soul.
There’s only such joy and peace and love
as you’ve never known on earth
Trust Him to carry you there
even as a mother carries her newborn baby.
Do not be concerned with leaving this life
God will watch over your loved-ones here
He will guide and keep them
and one day prepare a welcome sign for them.
Oh, welcome to your new home
Rejoice – the best is yet to come
all your earthly life as been
merely preparation for eternity ahead.
Welcome to your new home,
Blessed child of God.
Daily God
