A photograph can hold a whole story in one frame. That is what I hoped for when I entered my photo in America’s Favorite Photo, and now I am asking for a simple favor: if my image speaks to you, please vote for it. This contest is more than a quick popularity moment for me. It is a chance to share a photo I care about with people beyond my usual circle. Every vote helps my entry stay visible, and every bit of support reminds me that the image connected with someone. I know ev

I ask a person one day, "Why do you have such hatred in you?" They blinked a couple of times and said... You know I really don't know the answer to that question. Do you find that strange? I certainly did. I then began to talk to the person with a heart full of love. Where did I start with that heart full of love? The only place anyone can start is at the cross. We only love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19 Do you realize the angony Jesus went through on this earth an

Would you like to have Perect Faith? Would you like to know when you pray that as a believer, the answer is on the way? There is a way to know that. And I am going to explore that with you. When we see what we see, then that's all we see. But when God is in the picture, we see that it is a done deal. How can I say that with confidenece? Because God says that. It's called faith. Hebrews 11:1 says: " Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not

In light of America turning 250 years old on July 4th I write this blog. As a jounger person ,like below forty years old, you will not understand this "Encourage Blog". But for us that lived in what will be defined as "the good ole days" will see how much our beloved America has changed. I was raised in the 50's and 60's. In the America I love. It's funny how even some in their 40's say, " your rent was how much a month? $50.00, I can't believe that. And gas was 21 cents a

I'D LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT YOURS........... You may say, "well, I don't realy have any journey with Jesus, I've never been a follower of religion. So there's no journey to talk about there." I then would say, " I'm not talking about religion, I've talking about a Journey with Jesus." I think we can all agree that when we were born we started a journey, a plan for your life was about to unfold. What did we as a human born into a Fallen World start our plan with ? I'm convinced th

It's a new day as I awaken and pull myself out of bed, acrually I would rather stay in bed because I know what will face me in this another day. The day pretty much starts as in other days. Do you feel it? Do you sense it? We live in a world of brokem people. And it seems to get worse each day. I start this "Encouraging blog" for my readers with words of a beauriful song that tells us what we need to focus on in this a world of broken people. Written by Andrew Peterson. Lyric

Hold onto Hope..There is Light

You know how people always say when you're going through the lost of a loved one, " I know how you feel" . But unless they have been through that same thing as you, they are very kind, but do they really know? My answer is NO. they don't. I have been through the loss of my dear husband of 58+ years of marriage. And I am here to say, " there's nothing to compare it with." If you are reading this " Encouraging Blog", Really, an encouraging Blog!! ? Then I want to help you in w

I will agree that the world we find ourselves in is very dark right now. But i want to give you the hope you are looking for. If you believe God is who he says he is...then your can follow this hope I prayfully bring to you. Friend this is not pie in the sky, a someday will happen, a bandage for your problems. This is what our Mighty Savior says to us when we are His redeemed, blood bought children. There are momets in every human life that the noise of the world seems to dro

What do you need today?

I haven't written an encouraging blogs for a while. The death of my husband of 59 years has put my heart in much sorrow. But, now I’m ready to tell you my precious readers/followers that even though the Bible tells us, “No Eye has seen or heard all that is prepared for the believers and followers of Jesus, the scriptures are clear on : “ Just How Beautiful Heaven Will Be.” These scriptures will be taken from God’s Holy word and his word does not lie. If you are a believer and

As I write this blog for you my friends, I start with ; if you are a Christ Believer, a child of the King by new birth in Jesus as your personal Savior, then you are very aware that he tells us in scriprure; " In this world you will have tribulations". John 17:33. We that totally understand that verse can relate. I don't know about you, but I feel like I have had my abundant share tribulations from my childhood even up into my older years. I always seem to be the caretaker of

I start this encouraging blog with a prayer Lord, please listen to that one that calls to you. Listen to them as you have so many times before listened to me and others as we called to you. Psalms 61:2 -4 From the ends of the earth will I cry unto you. When my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. Our lives are so filled with hopelessness, anixety, and yes, sometimes even fea

I will start by asking, " How is your day going? " Then as you want to answer me, I say, "Yes, I know, mine as well." If we will be honest on this question, I think many at this season of life we find ourselves in will say, " when will this nightmare end?" I'm using this title NO MORE...because I found it so fascinating and inspiring as it was used at my husbands funeral. I, like my departed husband of 58 years was, and I am, getting tired of all the chaos we find in our o
