daily devotions, effective prayer

bless them often

April 26, 2017February 24, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

At close of day, my thoughts go out to those friends who have lost loved ones, faced medical emergencies, received a bad report from their doctor or experienced another life changing situation in the past few days. For those friends, life was changed forever in an instant. Dear Hearts, we never know what tomorrow will… Continue reading bless them often

healing promises

healing?

April 26, 2017April 14, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

This week we have had an opportunity to revisit that age old question, "Does God Still Heal Today?" This is not a question believers ever need to ask. God's Word answers the question very specifically. For that reason, I'm sharing (in PDF format) a study that we've used for years. My prayer is that you will… Continue reading healing?

not a sparrow falls

April 26, 2017April 13, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

In our Quiet Time today we learned—God's creation is valuable to Him. As a part of His creation, He is concerned with you and me. In fact we are His chosen vessels to complete His will on earth. Here is the article we read from Christian Author Scott Presson: God Doesn't Forget a Single Bird.… Continue reading not a sparrow falls

worry is distracting

April 25, 2017 Ellen Lebsock

Anxious? Intriguing word. It literally means "to be divided" or "distracted" . . . The Bible presents us with a perfect illustration of this in the story of Mary and Martha As they were traveling along, Jesus went into a village. A woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary.… Continue reading worry is distracting

roses aren’t always red

April 22, 2017 Ellen Lebsock

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Normally this little ditty ends with something about Love...but roses aren't always red, and poems don't always rhyme. Thing is, in spring and summer our garden is usually gloriously alive with roses. That's the wonderful thing about having a gardener with a green thumb, who loves you beyond reason...always having… Continue reading roses aren’t always red

inspiration

April 20, 2017April 12, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

Second Chances Some days it's just one thing on top of another. I upgraded to a new "smart" phone, but the people who shipped it aren't all that "smart" because they neglected to insert a SIM card. They apologized and promised to send a card. It won't be here until Tuesday. We've been without water… Continue reading inspiration
