Blog postBy Davalynn Spencer @davalynnspencer
Ah, peace. What a priceless commodity these days. Isaiah 26:3 offers an equation for finding peace like no other.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee.”
The old King James English may grate on your ears and if so, please look up different versions. But I use King James for this verse because it is the version I memorized years ago. It’s been in my mind and heart that -

Have you ever read something familiar and found yourself seeing it with fresh eyes?
It happens to me frequently, and lately it’s been Matthew 11:28-30. Clearly this passage speaks to me, for I wrote about it in September. Is God trying to tell me something?
Last week in my morning quiet time, I read a segment of this scripture in a collection* I read from every day.

After commiserating over recent heartaches the other day, a friend said, “God obviously has different plans than what I had envisioned, and for you as well. And yet, His plans are always perfect.”
The comment stopped me cold.
This person had some seriously disappointing things happen, as had I. “And yet …”
And yet, God’s plans are always perfect.
That does not mean God planned for peopl -

From my journal, the evening of December 21, 2020 . . .
“It wasn’t so much the bright star convergence. It was standing outside in the dark with my camera and tripod – watching, listening, feeling the glory of God – seeing the night sky change, realizing that the God of the manger is the God who set the planets on their courses. The same God who heard me singing in the dark because I was awed by His work . . .

God loved, so He gave.
He promised.
He revealed.
He pursued.
He’s been after us all our lives, and to prove it,
He came.
In His most vulnerable condition,
He could not be stopped.
Yet, at the peak of His earthly walk,
He surrendered to …
Love.
When humans see Him again,
He won’t be a baby in a barn.
He won’t be the smallest member of the nativity,
smaller than -

A working dad took his son to day care early one morning and was surprised to find the police there. He soon learned from the distraught director that someone had broken into the center the night before and stolen all their food.
Instead of leaving his little boy, the dad took him to the market, asked him what the children ate during the day, and loaded a shopping cart with groceries.
When he returned with his son and the bags -

Do you need a reason to celebrate Christmas this year?
Holidays for many people are difficult moments during which they grit their teeth and just get through. Reasons vary – from death of a loved one or loss of a friend, to economic hardship that precludes what that person thinks a holiday should be.
Painful memories often get in the way of our celebration.
But a holiday is so much more than memories and, if we let it, -

A friend reminded me last week of the day-to-day aspect of faith when she mentioned an Old Testament challenge from the great warrior Joshua:
“Choose you this day whom you will serve” (Joshua 24:15 ).
The reference was familiar to me, perhaps too much so. For as someone who has believed in God’s goodness and grace for most of her life, the choice came long ago.
Or so I thought.
Shouldn’t it be a daily decision I -

“In everything give thanks.”
Those ancient words are a tall order this year.
Resentment tries to wedge in between them, dragging in excuses, arguments, and reasons for why we really don’t have to be thankful for everything. Maybe not anything. After all, this was 2020. What went right?
Some days it’s hard to come up with an everything/anything list for thanks when the craziness whirls, dreams fade, and expectations shat -
Blog postToday I have invited fellow author and friend, Susan Mathis, to give us a glimpse into her newest book, Reagan’s Reward, a Christmas novella from her “Thousand Islands Gilded Age” series – the American equivalent of Downton Abbey.

Have you had the blessing of being at a Shabbat meal – the sabbath meal for those of the Jewish faith? A few months ago, I did, and it was so inspiring. The family had four children, and the sense of holiness present at the meal b -
