EVERYTHING LISTED UNDER: Spiritual Life

When my three boys were little, we looked forward to participating in our church’s Christmas Eve program and then racing home to open presents! We lived only a block from the church, so as soon as the “Amen!” was offered, the boys would sprint to the house rather than mess around waiting for their pastor-father and gracious mother to say, “Merry Christmas!” to all the parishioners who had attended the service and drive the car home.

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel with my eye upon you” (Psalm 32:8).

Have you ever noticed how nature has this amazing way of informing you that you are not as disciplined as you would like to be?

I have several friends who like to knit.

I can’t help but share this beautiful song with you as my thoughts are wrapped around 4th of July as I write my love note to all of you: The patriotic song, “America the Beautiful.”
