Mercy

We think we have more power than we do.  I know I do… I blame myself for so much… Not being the Mother I should have been… Pushing my children away because of how I speak… But my prayer has always been that the Lord would place my children in the path He has prepared … Continue reading Mercy

The Bird

Earlier today a bird flew into my front door… The door was closed and the bird sadly didn’t make it… I read where birds can become lost in the glass and fly into windows thinking they are heading into more open spaces not knowing they are rushing headfirst into a hard object.  Hmmm… How often … Continue reading The Bird

“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast … Continue reading A Delight
