Christian – A LIVING STONE

Protected: Triggers

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

My husband and I started a puzzle two years ago that we haven’t finished. It sits partially completed on the puzzle board in the spare bedroom. We had completed some pretty difficult puzzles before and even framed one. I chose this particular art design for its simplicity, which turned out to be its complexity. TheContinue reading “PUZZLED”

TALK

Good Morning! Hope you’re all having a good one so far. I woke up feeling like I might be trying to “catch” something; headache and achiness. It feels like a good YouTube tutorial day. A post I read this morning reminded me that years ago I was quiet as a young person but in ChristContinue reading “TALK”

PRAYER

Dear Lord, thank you for this day. We are blessed because You are a forgiving and understanding God. You have already done so much for us, and yet you keep on blessing us. Help us start the day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude, and let us take the best of each dayContinue reading “PRAYER”
