The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm and wind: And went to Bethlehem straightway The Son of God to find. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy   And when they came to Bethlehem Where our dear…

The holiday of Thanksgiving has passed. Our stomach’s might be still full, or at least our refrigerators still have some remains of turkey and gravy. We are about to close on this “thankful month” all together. So. Now what? Black Friday slammed us in the face, and the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season…

“And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”…

“After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: ‘Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.’ ~ Genesis 15:1 I really had a hard time coming up with October’s blog theme. Nothing stuck, until a single word hit me square between the eyes. And…

Yes there is joy because the Lord has indeed…

If we only gave thanks to God during seasons of bliss, what does that make our relationship with God look like? Looking at Scripture, and looking back on my own life, I’ve learned that thanksgiving…

Next week we’ll begin talking about gratitude, but before we go there, I realize I need to spend one more week talking about the previous topic presented. (If you did not read “Reflection on Me Too,” I encourage you to do so as it ties into this.) The amount of response I received was truly…
