HOPE! This is a word that has been on my mind and in my heart lately. Last week during my morning devotions I read Psalm 71 and I was profoundly impacted by this Psalm. Particular verses stood out to me; verses that spoke of HOPE.

Psalm 71:5 “ For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth .”

“ As for...

When my daughter comes for dinner, she often sits in the living room and chats with her Dad as I make supper in the kitchen. Although I should be able to hear what is being said in the living room because it’s so close, I often find myself saying,” What did you say, I didn’t hear that? Can you repeat that please?” My...

The rain fell gently yesterday evening. Rain is a gift.

The sun will shine today – so the weather app says. Sunshine is a gift.

The Bible says that the activity of the rain and the radiance of the sun are gifts from God. Jesus said that both these gifts are enjoyed by all the people of the earth. “For he makes his sun rise on the...

Captured at a townhouse complex, on either side of the entrance, no explanation is needed for these signs seen in the picture below.  I almost feel like it says, “Keep out!  No trick-or-treaters allowed!”  At least the pumpkin is smiling.

I saw some newly planted trees along the boulevard of a street.  I have always wondered why trees are often planted in the fall season.  I did a little research and discovered a few answers to my question.  In this Autumn season, when leaves are falling to the ground, roots can grow without having to feed the leaves.  In the...

“Tomorrow, I will do it tomorrow.”  We have all had the experience of putting things off until ‘tomorrow’.  Today there is something I must do.  I have put it off, for a variety of reasons, but today it is on my “To Do” list.

Perhaps you, like I, are familiar with the quote, “Don’t...

Sorrow is a word, which for many, frames these days.  It is a word that has been captured in newspaper headlines, and spoken from the lips of doctors, pastors, and healthcare workers. The word sorrow struck my heart last night when I heard of the loss of a mother due to Covid19. 

More than a word used during this pandemic season,...

Seasons change, and we all find ourselves with the need to put things away. Last weekend, for Canadian Thanksgiving, you may have brought out, or purchased, a decoration to match the season – red, orange, and gold in colour. It isn’t long before these items glare at us telling us they no longer belong. We look at them and we know it...

A moment is ‘a very brief period of time.’  It was only for a moment that my finger lay wedged between the car door and the frame of the car. Don’t ask me how I did it, except that it was not our vehicle, and somehow, I managed to shut the door on my own finger! The pinky finger, on my left hand, is a little bit swollen...

Okay. Let’s begin with the obvious: the COVID-19 “Elephant in the Room “! And those in authority tell us this very ugly, despicable Elephant is growing daily. So how can we truly be a thankful people, with a deadly virus swarming all around us? A virus that is preventing us from having a normal, wonderful, celebratory...
