From Sunrise to Sunset
“For the glorious name of the Lord is blessed forever and ever. From sunrise-brilliance to sunset-beauty, lift up His praise from dawn to dusk!”

The Greatest of These
Yesterday was Easter.
Resurrection Sunday.
A beautiful celebration of the greatest love story of all time.
His love surpassed everything.
Until His return, our highest calling is to love others.
Today is a new day to share that love and hope with those around you.
Will you share His love today?
“Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love—yet love surpasses them all. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.”
1 Corinthians 13:13 TPTShare this:
Entwined with His Heart
I could see my husband looking toward the sky this morning when he called me outside.
Shifting my gaze upward, I could see three eagles flying together overhead.
It is not uncommon for us to see one or even two at times, but three?
Oh how marvelous His creation is when we stop to notice!
My thoughts immediately went to this verse in Isaiah.
I love to read different translations of Bible verses, and this one spoke to me.
“But those who entwine their hearts with Yahweh will experience divine strength. They will rise up on soaring wings and fly like eagles, run their races without growing weary, and walk through life without giving up.”
Isaiah 40:31 TPTSome variations say those who trust in the Lord, wait on the Lord or hope in Him.
But to entwine my heart with Yahweh’s?
What a beautiful posture to start Holy Week.
Friends, my prayer is that as you entwine your heart with His, that you will find renewed strength and soar like the eagles.
Blessings in heaps.

Never More Loved
Regardless of the mistakes I will inevitably make today, my heavenly Father will never love me any less.
He already demonstrated His great love for us when He sent His Son to take our place.
“Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a noble and lovable and generous benefactor someone might even dare to die. But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.”
Romans 5:7-8 AMPCHe already knew we would fall short.
And Christ went to the cross for us anyway.
Never have we been more loved than in that moment.
We didn’t earn it.
But were given this indescribable gift anyway.
Remember that love today and share it with someone.
It is a gift that was meant for all.

Starting the day
Loved this gift from a friend.
A little mascara and a whole lot of Jesus is how I start my day.
And some coffee, too.
However you begin yours, remember this:
His mercies are new each morning.
“The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never ceases. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. “ Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT
What a wonderful gift we can all start with each morning.
Blessings to your day!

His Light
Someone shared this scripture that spoke to me.
Maybe it will speak to you, too.
Whatever darkness you are facing right now, remember His light surrounds you.“Listen, my enemy. Don’t gloat over me when I fall, for I will get back up even stronger. Whenever I feel darkness around me, Yahweh himself will be the light that surrounds me.”
Micah 7:8 TPTShare this:
His Grace
Driving home from the gym this morning, we passed many cars and school buses.
People starting their day.
Parents going to jobs to earn a paycheck.
Students going to school and taking classes to earn grades.
Their gain coming from their works or efforts.
Salvation doesn’t work that way.
It does not come through anything we have done, but through God’s grace and Christ’s sacrifice.
“For by grace you have been saved by faith. Nothing you did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the love gift from God that brought us to Christ! So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 TPTAs you start this week, reflect on this unimaginable gift that is yours, simply because He loves us that much.

Kind Words
We all communicate differently.
Texts.
Emails.
Cards.
Regardless of your preference, take the time to send kind words to someone today.
“Kind words are like honey – sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.” Proverbs 16:24 (NLT)

His Love
I love this view.
The sky and clouds seem to go on forever, well beyond what I can see.
And that is how God’s love is for us.
It goes on and on, without end.
Far beyond what we can see or imagine.
My prayer is that you experience that love today.
“And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”

Wherever You Are
I love when my husband sends me pictures when he is away.
However, this breathtakingly beautiful picture made me wish I was there instead of up north in a blizzard warning.
Who wants to be waiting for a blizzard?
Sometimes we all wish we were somewhere else.
Maybe we are living in the middle of our own personal storm, and long for peace and beauty in our lives.
But we are reminded in His word that God is always with us.
Both in our storms and our sunsets.
God knows exactly where we are.
And He delights in every detail of our lives.
“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.”
Psalms 37:23 (NLT)That brings me peace.
Even in the middle of a storm.
Wherever we are, He is always with us.
