BRUISED REEDS & SMOLDERING WICKS
I feel like a bruised reed lately. And my wick is certainly not burning as brightly as I’d like. I’m weary. Bone tired. But I know HE sustains me. And I feel joy. Truly. JOY. The weariness comes from the joy of my two baby boys. They provide me a purpose. A meaning. A reason…

ANTICIPATING SUNRISE
My MillerMan woke early – around 5, Came downstairs, crashing through the old fire screen we keep at the foot of the stairs to try to keep dogs and babies from climbing up stairs when we aren’t aware. He couldn’t go to sleep but wasn’t ready to get up. FInally took him to his little…

LIGHTING A FIRE
I lit the fireplace this morning. The heat was on, but I just felt as though I needed the extra warmth. And besides, I like the glow in the den while the house is still quiet and at peace. As the fire cast shadows on the ceiling as the ceiling fan turned (yes, I am…

Pondering…
Do I try to do too much to please? Lord knows I already know the answer to that question. But why?Is it that I want approval? Love? Appreciation? Or just because I simply like to make others happy? I know in my heart that it is the latter. But I also know that I crave…

Self reflection
I was complaining today about something I should not have been, or at least not in the manner that I was. I began to receive a “lecture” about being more patient with this particular circumstance in my life. This, of course, did not go over well with me. I continued to rant and was told…

Advent Quiet
But is it? Is it really? Right here. Right now, it is. I’m having my coffee time. I’ve had my JESUS CALLING time. It’s peaceful. No one is up yet. I love this time of the morning. Oh how I wish this season of Advent could be like this…not rushed. Not chaotic. So, I’m trying…
