Normal
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
What joy I am finding in my weekends. The rhythm of work with the respite of some time off; being at home. It brings a bit normalcy to my soul during this abnormal time. But, what is "normal'? Webster defines it as "conforming to a standard or regular pattern."
What is normal for one person, maybe quite abnormal for another. We do . . .

Distraction
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
As I was pondering this week's prompt, "distraction", I was only thinking of the negative side. As in when I think of something I need to do during my prayer time. I get distracted from focusing on Jesus.

Tomorrow
Five Minute Friday Challenge
The prompt for this week is TOMORROW. In a world that has been turned upside-down, I find hope in tomorrow. I also find an uneasiness, because we don't know what tomorrow will bring. Every day brings change, more bad news. However, I know the answer, I know who holds tomorrow! JESUS!!

A place where grace is shared . . .

Birth
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
Recently, I was reading Isaiah 54:10,
"Though the mountains move and the hills shake, my love will not be removed from you and my covenant of peace will not be shaken,” says your compassionate Lord." (CSB)
I love the promise in this verse. Even when things feel shaky, God's faithful, . . .
