What Is Worse Than a Pay Cut?
One week Karen Mains came home disappointed. She had gladly spoken without receiving an honorarium for a friend who is the chaplain at a retirement center. "Oh, we'll set up a book table," her friend said thinking to compensate her in some way. So Karen hauled books for the book table. She enjoyed the women, had a great conversation, and sold four books--a total of $70.
Fear Not
When the Coronavirus pandemic began, I knew my husband, who is an infectious disease physician, could possibly be involved in caring for some of the infected. One night last week, a colleague texted him saying he had received word from a friend in New York saying infectious disease doctors are dying there.
Hear God Speak When You Read Your Bible
Having a notebook and pen beside me as I read my Bible has become one of my ways to say, "Lord, I am expecting to receive something too good to forget. I want to demonstrate my love for You by caring for wisdom when it comes." If a verse strikes me as one I would like to better understand or I simply like what it says and want it to be lived out in my life, I write it down.
Pray With Your Bible Open
"So many of my prayers for my children get in a rut. I pray the same thing day after day," a friend said.
Let Jesus Carry Your Burden
One day some years ago, I read in Galatians, "The just shall live by faith." For days I lived in those words, and in the following months they greatly influenced my thinking. The just shall live by faith continually--not sporadically. If I live by faith, I live as though God is in control. I have no anxiety.
Peter Chose Grandpa
One Sunday when our grandson Peter was a toddler, we spent a weekend with our daughter and husband. When we walked into the nursery after church to retrieve Peter, Peter looked at his mother, then at me, then his grandpa. He headed right into Grandpa's arms. Grandpa loved it. He made sure we all noticed that Peter had checked out his options and then chose him.
