Emmanuel! He Always Reminds Me

Every Christmas I seem to get bogged down in the details.  I think it's because I'm a first-born and I have the incredible sense of responsibility to do things perfectly, from the way I fold the dishtowels to the way I hang the Christmas wreath. When I'm in this state, I don't appreciate and enjoy the wonderous thoughts and reflections of the season. I just go like gangbusters, get exhausted and start feeling unappreciated.  O Martha, thy name is Renee.  And this is no way to do Christmas. I  love the Lord and  He is so patient when I Continue Reading

About Last Night

Last night while the West Coast was at ease, I began to reflect on the events of the day.  Our WifeBoat Group meeting had ended, all those courageous ladies sharing, baring and holding their hearts open to the Lord and to each other.

I set out to prepare for the work You had for me      and my heart became so full-- ideas, thoughts, compassion, pleadings--      all mingled with joy and anticipation. The Continue Reading
