Reflections

A Mother’s Heart

This is the second instance we read of Mary storing up things in her heart.  What were "these things" do you think?  Do you think she was reflecting back to the time when the Angel of the Lord told her she was pregnant?  Do you think she was reflecting on what her cousin, Elizabeth, had told her?  Do you think she was ... read more

It’s All Worship

In the second chapter of Luke, we learn about the marvelous birth of Jesus.  Even in the humble setting of a manger, Mary and Joseph probably looked lovingly at their little bundle and thought he was perfect.  Who doesn't love the smell of a newborn and the way they just fit within the bend of your arm that has magically ... read more

Hi!

I’m glad you found my blog! I’m a mom, a wife, college administrator, AKA woman, and follower of Jesus Christ. After raising our family, I started to talk with God about what He wanted me to do. I’ve always loved to write and one day I heard Him clearly say…Go do that. So that’s what I do here. I observe life, meditate on it, listen for the lessons and write. That’s it. Hope you enjoy my reflections! Read More…
