    WordoftheWeek: Loving-Kindness

    As Jeanne shared earlier in the week, the Lord’s love is certain. His love for us is displayed in so many ways. For Jeanne, it became apparent that God’s love for her was complete, even through infertility. So complete, in fact, that His love for others never competes with His love for her. One of…

    He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not- The Word Works Series!

    You know the friend who always answers “how are you?” honestly but non-intrusively? That’s how Jeanne writes. Her blog, Where Faith and Grace Hold Hands, bids you welcome, shares an experience, and then turns the “how are you” into “How God is.” Grateful to welcome her today!

    THE WORD WORKS

    A simple “I love you” can take root in a person’s heart and change them. Hearing “I believe in you” or “you’re special” makes all the difference to children- and confident adults. Likewise, disparaging words can wreak havoc on anyone’s life. Our words are powerful. How much more are His? Over the centuries, people have…

  • What If My Best…

    What If My Best…

    What if my best is simple? More than a writer, I’m a thinker. My brain is constantly active- digging, absorbing, sorting, putting together, observing, etc. Etc. As a thinker, I like details. I like to organize them all and fit them together to create a big picture. I love making points that lead up to…
