Hide
Five Minute Friday Challenge
When I was little, I would climb on my bed, get under my covers and proclaim to my parents I was hiding and to come and find me. They would search and call for me, pretending they didn't know where I was. All along they could see the big lump in my bed, so they knew where I was, but I didn't know that, because I couldn't see them. Then . . .

Prayer
Five Minute Friday Challenge
From my journal: Jesus, some days it seems that I take prayer too casually, do I need to be more formal with my prayers? Then I remember that we need to come to You as children.

"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
When I was a kid the only good thing about going to the dentist was the treasure box. I got to dig into it to find a treasure of some little toy to take home. I'm sure it lost its allure after a few days (or maybe only a few hours) once it got home. Those toys are long gone and have been replaced by bigger and more expensive toys and . . .
