I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart. I will tell of all the great things You have done. ~Psalm 9:1 (NLV) How many great things has God done for you recently? Do you only count the “BIG” ones? Do you notice the “little” ones, too? Do you recognize, especially the little […]
Cocooned in Jesus’ arms of love anytime is the most beautiful place to be. In my author’s world, I find myself in a place of uncertainty right now, intensifying my desire to feel His presence like the sun upon my face. I love this little book of promises, and those of you who read my […]
The Eternal will fight on your behalf while you watch in silence. ~Exodus 14:14 (VOICE) I’m not a worrier by nature, but I often find it very difficult to shut down a million random thoughts that choose to twist, jitterbug, and tango through my mind all day and into the night. Does anyone else relate? […]
[evp_embed_video url=”https://lynnuwatson.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/IMG_0814.mov” preload=”auto” autoplay=”true” muted=”true” loop=”true”] As I write this, Hurricane Ida has pummeled New Orleans and makes her way north and east. High winds and heavy rain bring a stark contrast to the baking heat the past weeks. While most of my flowers have wilted, my dwarf sunflower plant flourished. It thrived in the […]
Back to school today for students in our community–perhaps in yours, too. Every morning I share a Bible verse meme with my grandchildren to start their day. Today’s meme featured Proverbs 24:13-14. Honey. Wisdom. Bright Future. Enduring Hope. Good words for all of us every day, they reminded me of other Scriptures: The fear of […]
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” ~William Shakespeare According to the Victorian language of the flowers pink roses speak of adoration, loyalty, gratitude, grace, admiration, joy, and strength. While we often select red ones for love, pink roses are a perfect token of a gentleman’s love for his lady. Besides […]
Add Black Spritz Cookies to the list of weird for 2020. Our granddaughters join me to bake and decorate cookies every year. 2020 would be no exception. Except in an effort to be sure we had green dough for the Christmas trees, I added an extra dash of green food color. The result: We have […]
December 23, 2019. Amazing rainbow. Today the granddaughters and I will prepare a birthday cake for Baby Jesus — one of our annual traditions. Yes, I’ve backed up from the previous post. The day began with a series of mishaps. Here’s one: I set the oven, prepared the pan, mixed the cake, and poured it […]
After my kitty’s good morning meows, a beautiful sunrise awaited as my first New Year greeting of 2020. We found the bed well before midnight even in the earlier time zone from ours. Not partying and not sleeping-in produced its reward. The water-colored sky of blues, golds, pinks, and oranges spoke clearly of God’s glory […]
God expects much from His followers, because the world expects much from us. October 2002 my husband and I traveled to Vermont expecting to be greeted by a glorious display of God’s artwork in the vibrant color-drenched, God-painted autumn foliage for which the area is so famous. Instead we found leaves turned brown and falling […]
