The Calendar – a devotional
Editor’s Note: This is a guest submission from our dear friend June Titus! Thanks so much for sharing your stories with us, June! And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to record, and to thank and praise the Lord God of Israel: I Chronicles 16: 4 What sort of gift does a family give to aging folks who seemingly have no needs of the usual birthday or holiday gifts? When my parents were living, this question always came up with me. Now that my husband and I are “aging folks,” our family most likely asks the same questions, especially since we are newly weds with a blended family. This past Christmas we were pleasantly…

Removing my Ego – a devotional
Editor’s Note: This is a guest submission by Rachel Erickson. Just read this one!! My husband and I and our four kids live overseas in Indonesia as missionaries. Yesterday I was in the kitchen making breakfast when my husband asked for some papaya leaf tea. It is a tea we brew whenever we start to feel a sickness coming on. So I go to our papaya tree, pick a leaf, soak it in bleach water for 20 minutes, rinse it off, boil it for 20 minutes, drain it, pour it in a cup, mix it with some chocolate powder and stir it. Ta-da! Done. I set it on the counter…

Expecting Him – devotional
Editor’s Note: This is a guest submission by Maria Drayton, who has generously shared her writing with us many times before! I’m grateful, Maria. Expectation. Sometimes I like to reflect over my life and remember times when the Lord showed up for me. The days that He would answer my prayers quickly and I would just sit in amazement of His ability. His ability to reach into my life and make His presence known. Nowadays, I don’t have to look back too far to see His hand in my life. Typically, if I look-I find Him. Things weren’t always this way. The days and nights of fighting back tears and…

Come Sit On Our Couch – a marriage devotional
Editor’s Note: This is a guest submission by Bhreagh Rowe. An awesome marriage devotional! I think the biggest thing I struggle with is feeling like a crazy person. I literally feel like I am the only person in the world who cries every time I see a baby born on TV, or when Sassy comes over that hill in Homeward Bound or loses it on every time my 4 year old hits that stupid fork on the table and makes another dent. What about when the paper boy throws the paper at the end of my driveway and I can’t NOT not drive over it because its right in my…

Joyfully Abandoned – a devotional
Editor’s note: This is a guest submission by Ann Grace. She has shared her story before – most recently here. Today’s devotional may be hard to get through as it’s very emotional, but powerful. Thank you, Ann. Is it even possible to be joyful in the midst of feeling abandoned? My life has been filled with my share of feeling abandoned and lonely but these days, I’m once again experiencing it again. My husband of 1 year has left us. No contact. No “I love you”. Nothing. It’s been almost two weeks of pure grief not knowing whether he will come back or file for divorce. I’m angry. I’m confused…

After the Storm – devotional
Editor’s Note: I thought I would just jump back right into posting devo’s! I have closed submissions for the time being – and you’ll be getting a fresh devotional to read every Monday morning for this fall! This is a guest submission by Heather Ream. This is somewhat of a follow-up to Heather’s previous post about her mom here. Thank you for sharing, Heather! My mom has been living in a nursing home now for a little over a year. Most of the time, she’s stable. I’m blessed to be able to write that. Praise you, Lord. Most of the time, she’s stable. Sometimes, she has a short series of…

Welcome Little Diva!
My daughter is here! Her name is Zoey; I’ll probably refer to her as little Z on here though. We had a smooth delivery and both are doing well. My husband was home and right by my side! She feels like such a special gift from God! Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers as she prepared to come into the world.
