  DEVOTIONAL:  PERSPECTIVE BRINGS AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE Definition of perspective is a particular attitude toward or the capacity to view things in their true importance.  Looking at perspective in all aspects of life will bring the needed space between the issue at hand and the problems you are facing.  If you will look through the eyes of perspective in every situation, it will bring forth a heart of gratitude in a much deeper way.     Think about perspective like this……While…

REFLECTING ON WHAT MATTERS   What are you reflecting on today?  Are you reflecting on what matters in your life or are you reflecting on the difficulties that are surrounding you?  I think for most of us we can say this year has been difficult.  The pandemic, uncertainty of the future, loss of loved ones, sickness all around, the changes in our world and the list could just go on and on.  Many times, during this year, I have quoted the scripture in Isaiah…

BOUNDARIES ARE AN ACT OF LOVE  Boundaries….something we all need to learn but we all have an issue with when it comes to people we love.  I personally understand this and have struggled all my life setting boundaries and not letting the problems and sins of others affect my life.  I have always been one that took on whatever issues that were presented to me and tried to “fix” everything.  It has caused me much difficulty in life and put more stress on…

 REFINED AND PURIFIED BY FIRE Have you ever wondered why God has allowed you to endure the fire so long?  Although it is uncomfortable to be refined by fire, often during those times it is when we discover who we are!  We have to remember one thing, the refining fire is always for refinement and not for our destruction.  Life in the refiners fire is a life about trust in the unchanging love of our Father. The refiners fire is about two…

DEVOTIONAL:  The Words of my Mouth This may not be a very popular devotion but maybe someone needs to hear it or share it.  It has been very difficult to even scroll through my social media feeds over the past few weeks.  So many of the posts that I have been seeing are spewing much hate and unkindness because of disagreements in views and beliefs.  It has been a harsh battle!   It is ok that we are on opposite sides in our…

  DEVOTIONAL: Take time out for God In the businessness of life, we sometimes find we are so occupied with life that we forget the most important part of our day and that is to take time out for God and be in His presence. The clothes need to be washed, the house needs to be cleaned, the supper needs to be cooked, so on and so on. God really dealt with me a while back about letting HIM be…

  DEVOTIONAL:  He Leads the Way   Have you ever been walking down a path that seemed pretty safe….It was well lit, it was very clear, you didn’t see any danger on the path you were on, it was just pleasant and you could see what was up ahead?  Then out of nowhere the path became very steep, you could barely walk because it became so rough, the darkness surrounded you and you could not see the way out or what was…
