    • Blessings

      I hear the Lord say: Standing among the blooming trees in early spring, cherry blossom petals float gently through the air, transporting you to a world of awe and beauty. Forgetting the trials and tribulations of the world, you stand motionless in a shower of delicate petals. Ever so gently, ever so graciously, the ground…

    • Sailing

      I hear the Lord say: Sailing brings to mind themes like freedom, wind, spirit, adventure, beauty. The wind in the sails propels you along as you guide the rudder.

I have loved you since before you were born. You were in My mind and thoughts, with joy and expectancy,…

    • Reflection

      I hear the Lord say: Looking at the pond scene, you see a reflected image of trees and sky. I created this marvelous mirror lake image to remind you of how you are uniquely and wonderfully made in the image of God (Me). Your image holds the beauty and majesty of creation. All of my…
