26th Day of Lent
Word of the Day: Ate
Joshua 5:11 The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain.
No, the image is not of unleavened bread, but there is some roasted grain. I use this image because I was traveling for work, away from home for two solid weeks, and I can get terribly homesick. This was a meal shared with new friends, reminding me that friendship is found no matter how far from home. Home is in the heart, and breaking bread brings the blessing near. I ate with others, breaking bread, and God was with me.
25th Day of Lent
Word of the Day: Faithful
Meet Merry: Most faithful to her forever mom.
She pouts when her mom is away.
She curls into her lap each and every day.
She is more faithful than some dogs I’ve met.
And that’s saying something, because I’ve never met an unfaithful dog.
24th Day of Lent

Ecclesiastes 3:13 “That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.”

Word of the Day: No

22nd Day of Lent
Word of the Day: Shadow
Job 14:1-2 (NIV) “1 “Mortals, born of woman, are of few days and full of trouble.
2They spring up like flowers and wither away; like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.”
Life is fleeting, therefore, enjoy today!
We know not how many days we have nor how long we have to enjoy our friends and family.
Treasure the gift that is life.
20th Day of Lent
Word of the Day: Bless
Psalm 29:11 “The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.”
At the holidays there is no bigger blessing for me, after days enjoying family and friends, than to enjoy time in front of the tree, with only the tree lights. Quiet, tranquil, and relaxing in the blessings of the holiday.

Word of the Day: Night
Genesis 1:17-18 (NIV) 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,
