Let me share a heartwarming story that took place a couple weeks ago. I found myself in a bit of a predicament because I couldn't read my books properly. Everything appeared blurry, and it caused me genuine concern. Adding to my worries, I started panicking about potential side effects from my RA medication, fearing I might lose my vision, which was definitely not on my bucket list! However, amidst all this, a fascinating twist occurred: my computer work remained perfectly clear!

In a moment of lightheartedness, a playful joke my mother used to share came to mind. She used to humorously claim that our arms "get shorter" as we age, impacting our ability to read up close. Half-jokingly, I decided to follow her advice, and to my surprise, it worked like magic! By moving the book a little further away, the words came into focus again!

Now, here's the truly delightful part: I am now officially a part of the reading glasses squad, and it feels like a significant milestone indeed! The joy of being able to enjoy my books once more, with a little help, of course, is absolutely priceless.

Life indeed throws us twists and turns, but it's comforting to know that God has a wonderful sense of humor and unique ways of looking after us. Challenges may leave us scratching our heads, wondering "What on earth?" But these very challenges can lead to unexpected blessings and valuable lessons. So, let's approach them with a lighthearted laugh and remember that there's always a joyful surprise waiting for us around the corner when we trust in His plans.

Have a wonderful day, my friends!

  The best friends we can have are those who pray for you without needing to be asked. They defend you when you’re not around, and with them, gossip comes to a dead stop. I always remind my son that God sends us different types of friends. Some are seasonal—friends who enter your life for a time, sharing laughter, love, and memories. As seasons change, so do our lives, and sometimes these friends are led down a different path. Though life may take us in separate directions, they will always hold a piece of your heart. These friends are special, and we often wish they could stay forever. Then there are lifelong friends. Even if years pass without seeing each other, when you reconnect, it’s as if no time has passed at all! As I grow older, I realize one of the most precious gifts God has given me is my "God-connected" friends—those who sense when you need prayer, even when you haven’t spoken a word. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve prayed for someone, only to receive a me...

As the holidays approach, I’ve noticed many posts from dear friends who are missing loved ones—and I’m one of them too. Grief is such a strange thing. It looks different for everyone, comes in waves, and evolves over time. I still remember when my husband buried his mother on December 22nd and then led worship for every Christmas Eve service just days later. With a steadfast heart, he encouraged, loved, and led the congregation to worship Jesus with their whole hearts. That’s what it means to truly belong to the Lord. Anyone else might have been overcome with sorrow, but he stood firm because his eyes were fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). This is my second Christmas without my mom, and some days are just plain hard. Even though I know I’ll see her again one day because of the promise we have in Christ, it still hurts. I miss the simple things—calling her to share something silly, asking for her prayers, or just hearing her voice as we talked about l...

Blue Christmas: Hope for the Hurting During the Holidays The holiday season is here—twinkling lights, cheerful music, and the hustle and bustle of family gatherings. But for some of us, this time of year can feel heavy. Grief, loss, and loneliness may seem more intense against the backdrop of festive cheer. I get it. The world seems to expect joy and togetherness, but what if you’re not feeling that way? Maybe you’re missing someone deeply, especially at Christmastime. For me, it’s my mom. I miss her more than words can express. For others, it might be the loss of a spouse, a close friend, a child, or even a dream. We all carry different burdens, but they often feel heavier when everyone around us is celebrating. The Meaning Behind Blue Christmas:  You might have heard the term "Blue Christmas" before. For many, it brings to mind the classic Elvis Presley song about missing someone during the holidays. For others, Blue Christmas has come to symbolize the grief and sorrow that...
