This word always makes me think of a king. A crown is a “circular ornamental headdress worn by a monarch/king as a symbol of authority”. The crown is also in reference to “the highest part of something”… like our head. I remembered, “Jack fell down and broke his crown…” I’ve never really worn a crown…
We use baskets around our house a lot. A basket is like a reusable box often a bit more durable. Some of our baskets are for looks with cool stuff in them on display. Others are working baskets like the one in the laundry room. Baskets for the most part are functional items used to…
There are times when I begin a project that it seems so small and insignificant starting out, but then it turns into something God-sized! I am constantly reminded that when God is in it, He’s in charge of the size and significant impact of anything and everything I do! I love this chapter in Zechariah…
I love the fresh smell of clean clothes as I’m putting them on. I remember camping out as a kid and having to use the same clothes the next day and I hated it. As I grew older, I really like my clothes to be ironed and I want them to match. When I wear…

I am sometimes amazed to read of the Temple of the Old Testament and how the Lord loved certain details. He gave very specific instructions about how it was to be constructed and decorated. He even accessorized each part of the structure. This was His earthly dwelling place among His people. That was before Jesus.…
I really like Sunday’s a lot because here in the USA it’s when the majority of churches gather to honor the Lord with our heart-felt worship and praise. I belong to a church that is very intentional about intense worship experiences that include the message and the music. I believe the simplest prayer honors God.…
This morning is a new day. This day has not been written down in the history books of my life as of yet. My day is just getting started. I love mornings when I can reflect for a moment about yesterday and really prepare for today. “This is the day that the Lord has made.…
Humility is a skill to be learned not necessarily a gift or talent that I’ve been born with. It’s important for me to learn humility. I’ve always remembered the scripture that says “Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up.” (James 4:10) I like how it’s worded in the…
