We see God’s handiwork in gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, the beauty of a starry night sky, and intricate flowers in every shade of the rainbow. He made our physical eyes with over 2 million working parts that produce sight. Light reflected from what we see signals our brains to turn electrical signals into images. But …
My granddaughters all loved being rocked before bed. The time together somehow turned into a time of singing. The older ones had a repertoire of favorites. But the youngest couldn’t express specific songs yet, so when she asked me to sing, I sang “Jesus loves me” along with other songs. Amazingly, the next time I …

It’s a time to connect, catch up, discuss topics of the day, laugh, and simply enjoy each other’s company. Have you ever noticed in the Bible that eating at Jesus’ table was a …
Trying to connect Jesus as King, Lord, and Savior with Him as my friend reminds me of this Bible verse: “What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?” Psalm 8:4. When I compare myself with His majesty, I feel so small and unworthy of a …
