Morning
Five Minute Friday Challenge & Day 29 of Write 31 Days 2021
I love morning...not the getting up and going to work part, but the quiet and the stillness. I enjoy my cup of coffee, read God's Word and bask in the stillness before my day begins. It feels like a clean slate before me. I can more easily hear God's voice because my mind is less cluttered.
Mark records that "Before daybreak . . .

Taste
Day 20 of Write 31 Days 2021
"Taste and see that the Lord is good..." Psalm 34:8 (NIV)
I love food, but sometimes I'm in a hurry, especially on my 30-minute lunch break. I'm not sure I always truly taste my food and experience it. Jesus invites us to taste and see. What is it about taste that opens our eyes? The more senses that are involved may be part of it.

Treasure
Five Minute Friday Challenge & Day 15 of Write 31 Days 2021

Day 6 of Write 31 Days 2021
Jesus longs to make us, make me whole. He wants to heal us, just like the blind man who received sight. Jesus wants me to see and perceive things with His heavenly eyes and gain His perspective. Just as He healed the lame man, Jesus wants me to walk. Walk, not just in a daze going through the motions, but in a close relationship with Him on . . .

Peace
Day 3 of Write 31 Days 2021
"Peace I give you, not as the world gives," but My peace; beyond your finite understanding. Abide in Me, rest. You will find and experience My peace. It's like a calming blanket that settles your mind, heart, and body in the raging storm of life's circumstances. My peace enables you to stand and watch Me work. It's not a cop-out, but a place . . .
