I love waterfalls. When I plan our hikes, I try to find trails that feature both alpine lakes and waters. The bigger the better. There’s something about watching them that is mesmerizing. They just keep pouring water down into the streams and lakes beneath them. The power in the water running down causing the loudContinue reading “Spiritual Blessing: Lavishes Us”

Has anyone ever hurt you (physically, emotionally, or mentally)? Oftentimes those who hurt has the deepest are those we love the most. In the heat of an argument – tempers are lost and awful things are said and or done. Or sometimes, we take our loved Knesset for granted and neglect them. We come homeContinue reading “Spiritual Blessing: Forgiveness”

We all love coupons. They make purchases less expensive or offset the high price. Once you get one, boy howdy – you plan on using it. We hold on to them, we collect them, and then cash them all in because hey life is expensive – really expensive now. You were given that coupon –Continue reading “Spiritual Blessing: Redemption”

Have you ever been given something you simply did t deserve or earn. Some just decided to give you favor or preference for no other reason but kindness? It is a humbling and motivating experience. We are humbled by the unearned favor and motivated to pay it forward to others. We often define grace asContinue reading “Spiritual Blessing: Grace”

Purpose is such an important motivator. My running coach hammers it home every run. Whats the purpose of this run?

Have you ever adopted a dog for a shelter? It is the most beautiful experience. The dog has been unwanted and uncared for so they ended up at a shelter. Most dogs spend a considerable about of time (especially in dog years) waiting for someone to come and save them. My husband and I adoptedContinue reading “Spiritual Blessings: Adoption”

We seem to have a love/hate relationship with the idea of fate. Sometimes we are all about phrases like, “if it was meant to happen, it will.” Or “Let fate decide.” But we also frequently talking about “fighting fate” or “giving fate a hand” or “never leaving anything to fate.” There is an entire subContinue reading “Spiritual Blessing: Predestined”

When I was in elementary school we still played games like dodge ball or Red Rover. And, sometimes the PE teacher would like students pick their fellow teammates. So, it was exciting to be chosen especially near the top. The earlier your name was called meant your classmates saw you as more valuable. In short,Continue reading “Spiritual Blessing: Chosen”

We’ve reached that time of the year where people start thinking about all they are thankful for in life (a practice I might add should extend to more than just November). But a lot of those lists and thoughts focus on physical blessings and people are right to be thankful for the physical blessings GodContinue reading “Every Spiritual Blessing”
