COURAGE FOR TODAY

Establish My Footsteps

I was sitting here this Sunday morning just reminiscing a little about my Daughter; Son; and Foster Daughter, all of whom are adults now, making adult decisions.  All have left the "roost" now and are working hard to meet life head-on with it's many challenges.  I'm so very proud of them and how they've endured tremendous challenges in their lives, but continue to stay strong; move forward; and not give up with their dreams and ambitions. 

The Comforting Mist

Several years ago, my best friend and I decided to drive, one Saturday, to the North Georgia Mountains to hike.  We were still young and single and had nothing really better to do on a hot Saturday afternoon, so this would be something different and exciting for us to do.  Neither of us were avid hikers or really knew what we were doing, but it sounded like something to kill some time, if nothing else.

Blessed By The Blessor

I was re-reading the account in Matthew Chapter 14 of Jesus walking on the water and His encounter with the Disciples.  If you haven't read this passage recently, or at all, I would encourage you to check it out beginning with verse 21 through the end of the Chapter.  I suppose I've read this passage dozens of time, but this time the passage spoke to me in a way that I hadn't experienced before.
