Drifting
We all love the feeling of “drifting” off to sleep. That gentle feeling of leaving the day behind and entering into the land of dreams – hopefully pleasant ones.
First and Last Words
Have you ever thought about your first words and your last words? We probably don't remember the first words we ever spoke. And we certainly don't know what our last words will be.
An Excellent Day
We often use the phrase, “Have a good day.” Just four short words spoken to another as we either hang up the phone or part ways. It’s both a common and polite nicety, often spoken with very little thought behind it.
Cheese and Crackers
The story is told of a time when people still crossed the Atlantic by ship. A man spent nearly all he had for a ticket to the United States, leaving only enough money to buy some cheese and crackers. Throughout the month-long voyage, that was all he had to eat.
The Beauty of Solitude
There was a time when I thought I'd give almost anything for a little peace and quiet. Our home was wonderfully full—a husband, three children, my dad living with us, and a father-in-law who joined us for dinner most evenings.
Planned or Unplanned
Accidents are part of our everyday life. You may inadvertently bump into someone at the supermarket, spill coffee at a restaurant, put the wrong ingredient into a recipe, slip on a wet surface and break a bone, have an automobile collision, or know of an unplanned pregnancy. These do not happen according to our expectations, but they do not catch God by surprise.
