Daily encouragement for Christians
As a writer, words are very important to me. When my grandkids tell me they don’t like to read it rattles everything inside of me. I try to encourage them by asking how they will ever read what Gramma writes if they don’t learn to read. No, those are not the magic words to change […]
Do you know what it means to have a proud heart?

“What we have seen and heard, we are proclaiming to you; so that you too may have fellowship with us.” (1 John 1:3) Do you talk to others about the things you see and hear? Many of us have practiced doing that in the form of gossip. The big issue I see with that is […]
“Rejoice in this, even though for a little while you may have to experience grief in various trials.” (1 Peter 1:6) Rejoice in what?
