The more you love and trust Him, the nearer you will feel to Him, and the less you will depend on human power and wisdom. His love and care never tire or change, can never be taken from you, but may become the source of lifelong peace, happiness, and strength. Believe this heartily, and go to God with all your little cares, and hopes, and sins, a

Milne Every day someone somewhere PROMISES us something.  Occasionally it pans out and they keep their promise.  Most of the time we are left high and dry. This is something that will never happen with God.  His saving help is constantly available to us. His personal invitation  (Promise) has no expiration on it. We can turn to Him at any time and feel safe in His Promise.  Can you trust this love?  YES    Do you have to

Buck He is near.  Can you feel it around you?  This third Sunday in Advent we light the candle of Joy.  This week we prepare by accepting the feeling of joy.  Move through the week excited and rejoicing that so much is at hand. Now is not the time to be pulled down by sadness or situations that hinder you from feeling the joy and hope which only God can give us. We light this third candle each day now... as we have traveled from Hope and expectation to Grace and longing and now we light

So shines a good deed in a weary world.” ― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice Got your running shoes on?  Have to prepare for the race.  Every day training for endurance and building up your stamina...you hit the streets early.  Are you wearing your orange sneakers? They shine in the dark. Can God find you?  Have you invited him on your 'run'? The second candle we light this week is the Candle of Grace.  In preparation we can begin moving through this week defining and naming our deeper more specific desires. Pa

But here's the amazing thing -- light trumps darkness, every time. You stick a candle into the dark, but you can't stick the dark into the light.” ― Jodi Picoult, Change of Heart Somehow things are ALWAYS better if you are not alone.  Hard to remember the words include God, and if you are a believer you are NEVER alone.  Still I believe to have your best friend, your spouse, your go to person nearby, always lends encouragement and benefit.  Giving to each other throughout a lifetime or a season in life.  The
