Letting Go!

,
Yesterday, I attended the burial service of a dear housegroup leader of my late husband. During this time, a poem was read that encouraged us to let him go. I was in a similar position when in hospital when the doctors said that they couldn't…

Resting Place

, , ,
It's so good to have places where we know we can rest or relax but there is one place that can fit all. We were made to love God and enjoy Him forever and when that dimension of relating to God is missing then we miss out on God's balance and…

Excitement

,
There are so many ways to enjoy this word. The one thing that gets me excited is God and His purposes for planet Earth. God not only created our world but also sustains it and has given us a manual for living in it - the Bible. God inspired…

Grace

, ,
Just a name?  What's in a name? This, in my opinion is a beautiful name often given to girls! I know several ladies now that have the name 'Grace' including a treasured Auntie and they all seem to exude its meaning which is even more beautiful…
