Two large flower arrangements with an adorable one thrown in. Local pies and yummy pecans. Gift basket and a "Happy Spring" display. Chocolates and cheese [...]

In Heaven By Dinner

Good morning... I wake on the morning of an important funeral, a funeral I am not able to attend. Funny, but it feels somehow fitting for our funky friendship to experience no formal goodbye. Formal is not her way and neither is it mine. We were strangers when she came to my living room for our weekly class. Shuffling [...]

Gratitude Holds Hands With Grief

Good morning... Mary, my soulmate from Charlotte, N.C. whom I have never met, wrote to me from the beach yesterday. Her words are perfect and poignant. ****** My life is Blessed…But My Son Is Dead?!?! How can it be?

The Gift Of A God-Glitch

Good morning... Today, on December 12th, there is no reason my inbox should open to October 12th, but that glitch just happened. So I click again on a life-changing announcement. ****** Celebrating Beth Jordan Journal entry by Greg Jordan — 10/12/2017 Beth passed away peacefully last night after living eight courageous and inspiring years with brain cancer.

One Final Post

Good morning... A friend to many of us, Cathy Smith, wrote this week her final post chronicling the precious life of her daughter Abby who went to heaven at age seven. ****** Dear Faithful Friends and Prayer Warriors: This will be the FINAL POST on Abby’s Care Page site due to the fact that Care Pages is shutting down [...]

Brokenness And Joy

Good morning... I have never met Mary, but yesterday she wrote: "Hi Sue, I saw your devotionals about brokenness and the verse in today’s has been one I have experienced so personally the last year and a half (He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [healing their pain and comforting their sorrow] Psalm 147:3). I wanted to share what I [...]

It Could Have Been Worse

Good morning... "Hoping high tide doesn't bring the river into our living room," a friend texted from Jacksonville, Florida as Hurricane Irma slammed her state. "Please pray that the water recedes and we don't see the predicted 4-6 foot surge. Thank you." I lifted prayers all day and was grateful for her final message. "Waters came up to the [...]

Treasured Testimonials

Good morning... Interactive. One of the best things about our written word ministry is her interactive nature. I prayerfully listen for God's subtle movement. I sense a fresh smidgen of Holy Spirit wisdom. With God I craft a morning message, then I press "send" to reach out to you. You read and receive at your convenience. You prayerfully ponder, [...]

Why Did God Make Tears?

Good morning... A friend who has thrived through many transitions sent me the lyrics and the link to her favorite music video. If there is any link to touch on for two minutes of encouragement, this is one special gift I hope you will give to yourself. I am grateful, first, that God hand-builds for each of us a [...]
