Glimpses of Heaven

"God is close to the broken hearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed" - Psalm 34:18 Losing someone you love is, simply put, heartbreaking. This week I found myself wanting to reach out to my dear friend Fay for some encouragement. I wanted to hear what...

Living Ready: A Tribute

A precious soul and dear friend, Fay, left this earth today a little sooner than expected. Nothing prepared me for the news as her husband, Glenn, and daughter, Gillian, shared the details with me over FaceTime. Up to that point, Fay was still on life support and the...

Beyond The Cover

We so often hear the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover!” I remember the first time I heard it, I was just a young school girl in the library with my class. If I’m not mistaken, it was my grade three class. We had this sweet, gentle librarian, Ms. Hearn, who always helped us pick out the best books and she knew the books we’d love. This one day while I sat on the floor scanning through the books, I overheard Ms. Hearn say to one of my classmates, “Don’t judge a book by its cover!” Curiously, I wondered what she meant by that.

Give Thanks

Let’s be honest, 2020 hasn’t been what we hoped it would be when the clock struck midnight that last day in December. We all shouted “Happy New Year” while we hugged and kissed those who were there to ring in the new year. No bubbles, no restricted numbers, no lockdowns! Who would have imagined such a thing? I know my mind couldn’t even fathom the thought had someone pre-warned me! I think I would have taken a rain check on 2020! Or maybe skipped it altogether.

Christian Parents

Some people accuse their parents of being too hard on them. I can hear some people saying things like, “They forced me to go to church three times each Sunday, and I couldn’t even stay home to watch Fraggle Rock or Walt Disney!” Maybe you were punished for hanging out...

The Journey

As humans, we forget easily. Sometimes it takes us a long time to learn a lesson. After going through this winter season, you feel like you can hardly remember what it’s like to have a lawn! When things are going well, we can forget God. We can drift away from Him. We...

Winning

During the Olympics, people were on the edge of their seat watching various hockey games. The teams were well matched. No one was guaranteed a victory - they fought hard to win.Some of you are in the heat of the battle. Stay standing. Don’t ever give up. Even when the...

As For Me…

Children need stability. Children need a loving home. I can’t think of a better place to nurture a child than in a home where the love of Jesus is present. We could learn a lot of lessons from Sunday School songs. “The wise man built his house upon the rock” and when...

Goals

Sometimes, we don’t reach a goal in our lives, because we lose focus - we may actually lose sight of the goal we had. This usually means that we get off track. We are doing so well for a while... we’re eating right... exercising... and then winter comes... and we want...
