Overwhelmed

,
Sometimes what life throws at us can overwhelm us. I think that this is an experience that probably all humans face some time or other. Particularly when the unexpected happens, it can throw us in all directions. The emotional toll of such…

The Best

,
We often say 'The best is yet to come' but the fact is, this is absolutely true!  Recently, my dear husband, Mike, went to be with the Lord. He had become a Christian in his twenties and was delivered from a life of drunkenness - an instant…

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…

Mercy

,
With all the carnage in Paris and all the talk about revenge, I wonder what God thinks of it all. One of the foundation stones that I was given in picture form when I first embarked on writing 'Diamond Books' was 'mercy'. I can be a judgmental…

Righteousness

In the foundation picture that the Lord gave me at the start of this project, there were several unnamed stones for quite some time. The foundation picture consists of 9 stones, 4 of which have been already named and studied. The next 3 stones…
