Peace For The World

Good morning... Yesterday, a longtime friend texted in the morning. "This is such a God-wink," she wrote. "Henri Nouwen's devotional appeared, back to back, with your message for today, Peace From Beyond." Our blog post ended with this blessing: May peace fill our lungs and release our tense shoulders, as we return, again and again, to a state [...]

Peace From Beyond

Good morning... Yesterday, my neighbor sent me a devotional link entitled "Peace When You Don't Have Control." What an gracious gift to receive on the second anniversary of the October 7th Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel, a day when so many innocent people lost any semblance of control. Now, up in the middle of this moonlit night, I [...]

Peace Of A Butterfly

Good morning... Yesterday after blogging about Our New Selves matching the metamorphosis of a butterfly, I received a text from a loyal reader from South Carolina, a faithful woman I have never met. "Good morning, Sue," she wrote. "I'm sending you part of the Glorify devotional from today, as the Holy Spirit is using the butterfly transformation to [...]

Overwhelming Trust

Good morning... Yesterday began with this prayer, a prayer sent by a friend. "It was the best to see you at church and to share a hug," she wrote. "God has surrounded me since with overwhelming trust. I hope you are feeling it too this week. XO" "Overwhelming trust," I replied. "What a beautiful gift from God. Overwhelming [...]

Pause. Pray. Process.

Good morning... "I grew up with a mom who often overreacted," said my friend, as we talked to and from the horse farm. "She would blow up over the littlest thing." Now my friend finds herself wrestling with the same impulsive tendency. "I'm trying to learn to PAUSE more," she explained, "like the Bible verse about being quick [...]

We Lack Nothing?

Good morning... Amid the chaos of this world, we are invited to experience the calm of God. Those who know Love will rejoice as the nations learn to cooperate, as the peoples of the earth recover their true heritage. The people say, "The time has come to dwell in peace and [...]

Quiet Kind Of Miracle

Good morning... These words came to me and stayed. "You don't have to rush to be loved." Grow at your own pace. You are worthy, already. Patience is a quiet kind of miracle. There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because [...]

Benefits Of Being Late

Good morning... My inner clock is set at ten minutes late. Actually, my problem is this: I get so caught up in the present moment that I have a hard time ending what I am doing now to move on to comes next. And... Atlanta driving is always quite iffy, so add that to my equation, and I [...]

Pause. Breathe. Expand.

Good morning... In our therapeutic community group downtown, the leader shared a quote from Victor Frankl, the author of the book we are discussing on Sunday afternoons, Man's Search for Meaning. "Between stimulus and response," she quoted Frankl, "there is a space." "Expand that space and invite the Holy Spirit into it," she encouraged us. "Pause. Breathe. Expand." [...]

Expect To Be Grateful

Good morning... A friend shared a simple quote: "No one is grateful for what they expect." I think about her statement and humbly disagree. I am grateful to rest in the groggy phase each day, between being fully asleep and consciously awake. I am grateful to sip and savor freshly brewed coffee, morning after morning after morning after [...]
