Greetings to you on this cold winter’s day. Please grab a cup of coffee and peruse the list of last year’s bolg posts. By clicking on any title, you can read or reread the entry.
Thank you for joining me on this journey as together we seek to focus on Living With Eternal Intentionality®. Ours is a two-way conversation, so don’t hesitate to offer feedback. And, I welcome your suggestions for future topics.
While my husband welcomed the New Year with his quiet snoring, I stood by the window and gazed into the inky night of 2024. Instinctively, I wondered, “What will this year hold?”
One never knows, right? One never knows. But we do know God is already there.
Three hundred and sixty-five opportunities stretch out before us and each extends an invitation to know Him, to love Him, to walk with Him, and to give Him away to others. A simple word from Daily Strength for Daily Needs by Mary W. Tileston sheds light on the extraordinary, eternal value of each day. “Enjoy the blessings of this day . . . for this day is only ours, we are dead to yesterday, and we are not yet born to the morrow.” - Jeremy Taylor
Dear sojourner, may we release the past, may we live in the moment, and may we invest in the future God designs for us — one day at a time.
Thank you for joining me here at Living with Eternal Intentionality®. Happy, Blessed New Year!
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” (John 17:3).
In the 2023 season of bustle and busy, finding moments to meditate on the significance of Jesus’ birth are few and far between. Yet, within every joy, amidst every crisis, on every level, in every situation — our hearts cry out, “Come, Thou long expected Jesus”!
So for just a bit, I invite you to take pause, light a candle, grab a festive mug of hot chocolate, and snuggle under a fuzzy afghan. Once settled, click this link, close your eyes, and sing along in worship.
Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
