Loved by One Who Has More

God wants to bless you. He wants to give you exactly what you need. He wants to see your heart overflowing with joy. He really, really does. God is a Giver.  And His resources can never run out.  Isn’t that so good to know? He will never run out of patience with us.  His love for us knows NO boundaries.  No burdens are too great, no problems are too small for Him. His giving never ends. He. Is. God. I’ve been re-reading Bruce Wilkinson’s book, Beyond Jabez. 

The Whining State

I was in a whining state. Annoyed, frustrated, and ready to RSVP “Yes!” to the pity party invitation. Then I started thinking about how much good was in my life.  I didn’t have anything to complain about compared to friends who were dealing with really big-time issues.  Everybody has “Yes!” stuff. Then I decided to “get over it” – focus on the gazillion good things in my life.  Set aside those irritations and step into a new day. Then I started feeling guilty about the whining.  Kicking

In one, we are (or should be) aware of the blessings showered on us every moment we take a breath. Our nights are

Open Your Gift!

What a gift today is! I think of the new day as a square box wrapped in crisp, white wrapping paper. A cobalt blue, silk bow is tied around the box.  It’s easy to unwrap.  My name is written in beautiful calligraphy on a small note card, attached with a thin silk thread. Inside the box are thousands of God’s promises and blessings just waiting to pop out and surprise me during the next 24 hours.  Once the lid is removed, they spring out like millions of little jack-in-the-boxes. 

A Place to Belong

My Friend, Stephanie, and I were having one of those really neat conversations around my kitchen table last week. You know, the one where we could probably solve all the world’s problems if we wanted to.  But we’re more interested in the details of each other’s every day, “this is my world” experiences. …Appreciating the text messages that Stephanie gets from her kids while they’re at school, even though they’re at that age where it may not be “cool” to check in with mom. …Realizing that the
