A Clean Slate

everfaith

A few times a week I have Cadi help me clean up the dog toys. The other day she had the great idea to stick Lacee in the basket with the toys! Now that is REALLY cleaning up! Yes, I do have a “toy box” for the dogs. What does that say about me??? Isn’t there something beautiful about a house that is clean? Or, if you’re like me, even having one clean spot to rest my eyes on is like a breeze to my spirit. Since we’ve been living in Texas we have been so blessed to have a … Continue reading A Clean Slate

Cleaning

everfaith

Today was a very busy day as I prepared for my sweet mother-in-law’s arrival. We picked her up from the airport this afternoon. Tomorrow she, Jon, and Cadi leave for London. I am feeling blue tonight…not because they are leaving, but because I haven’t the COURAGE to go with them. I have just a moment to blog, so I thought I’d find some verses that deal with cleaning since that’s what I’ve been doing all day! (I wish I had these memorized so I could recite them, with a twist, as I “bless” my family by my cleaning!) Job 37:21Now … Continue reading Cleaning

Take Courage

March 31st, Cadi and I were home getting snuggled in for bed. Jon was out of town on business. I had her downstairs with me because the weather forecast was for severe weather and high winds; I hesitate to have her upstairs when severe weather is approaching.The news station reported that radar indicated a rotation near a town just to our east. At that moment, a tremendous wind hit our house, the satellite went out, and we heard something very large hit the back of the house. Without thinking, we ran to the laundry room with the dogs and shut … Continue reading Take Courage

Out of the Water’s Edge

everfaith

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”Isaiah 43:2 The torrent of rain we had yesterday and our pool filled almost to overflowing have my thoughts wandering back to the time when the Lord put his hand on me and changed me with regards to water. Up until two years ago, I was terrified of the water. Even the shallow end of a pool made me … Continue reading Out of the Water’s Edge

The Power in Stillness

everfaith

Power. There’s a lot to be said for that one little word. Today I started musing about power when a ferocious storm knocked out our electricity. It was early morning. Cadi was still thinking about getting up to start the day. I turned on the computer thinking that the worst of the storm had passed. The house was quiet — or so I thought. The minute the power went out, we listened to complete and utter silence in between rumbles of thunder. The electric power all around us gives off a hum that we seldom notice. The ceiling fan whirs, … Continue reading The Power in Stillness
