Weekly Devotional

It is hard to believe that a small child can teach a full grown adult a thing or two, but I have found this to be so true on more than one occasion.

A couple weeks ago, someone asked me a question that really made me stop and think. We muttered an answer after we had thought for a second, but the words he said after our explanation just stopped me in my tracks. It was like he made Scripture “come alive” in my heart.

I’m not talking about a dream in the night or a passing wish for something you want. I am talking about about a deep desire that you have your heart — an aspiration, a goal, or something that is bigger than yourself? 

This weekend we spent some quality time with a dear 92-year-old man. As I sat next to him, he just started reminiscing about his life — the hard times and the happy times. He lived a simple life, but a life full of faith.

I just finished reading our favorite marriage book, and this thought jumped off the page.

This week our kids made a complete mess of our living room... and it made me think of the family of God.

John 3:30 contains the words of one of the greatest men during Jesus’ earthly ministry, but I believe it is a mindset that is so easily lost amidst our media-saturated culture.

This past week has been one I won’t forget. We traveled to an unexpected funeral, and a dear friend passed along this quote which stuck with me throughout the week.

I have a thing for baby feet. Call me strange, but I love to smell them, squeeze them, and just kiss them all over!

I was struck by a statement while reading a Bible commentary by Warren Wiersbe: “What you do with your heart determines what you do with your life.”
