Reflections Of The Heart

The Greatest Blessing      Kayla wanted to find the perfect birthday gift for her Dad.  This wasn't just any birthday.  This was a special time.  She hadn't seen her Dad in a while.  It had probably been about two years.  Her Mother and Father were divorced.  They separated when she was just two years old.  It was a difficult transition for Kayla.  She was always so close to her Dad.  She got to see him sometimes.  But, his job required that he traveled a lot.  Sometimes those trips took him overseas.    But, now Kayla is a teenager.  School is out for the summer.  She's going to get to spend a week at her Dad's house.  Kayla saved her allowance and the money that she had been making babysitting.  She went to the store with her friends, trying to find the perfect gift.  But, nothing seemed quite right.  She then found an appointment scheduler that her Dad could use o...

When you look into the eyes of friendship, you see truth. Someone who will always say the right thing at the right time. In the eyes of friendship you see faithfulness. Someone who will always be there no matter how cold the weather may become. Through the eyes of friendship you see pure love; a love that nurtures, protects, defends, and soothes. Through the eyes of friendship you see devotion; someone who will be there with a smile in the good times, and words of comfor t in the down times. Through the eyes of friendship you see happiness. It is the blessing of knowing that two hearts care about each other and are always there for one another. Friendship is one of the most precious gifts and blessings bestowed upon the heart from God above. Like a beautiful stain glass box, it can be fragile, but it is rugged, enduring, wholesome, everlasting and strong beyond anything that the mind could ever fathom. The most beautiful and loving relationships and marriages a...

Perfect Discoveries      Krista sat quietly in her chair and watched as her best friend lay struggling to breath in the bed before her.  For the first time in her life, she felt horrifying feelings of helplessness and loneliness.     She is a devout Christian and prayer warrior.  All of her life she has always rested in the presence of the Lord through every step.  But now, no matter how much or how hard she prays, there seems to be no improvement.     She finds herself constantly asking the question why her Lord seems so distant now?  He has always felt so close to her all of her life.  Mika and she have been best friends since before they could walk.     They have shared all of the wonderful and precious memories that girlhood friends can share.  But, when Mika became gravely ill, it was like a piece of her heart was now missing.     Krista stayed by her bedside as much as po...

Thought Of The Day Don't let fear and worry govern who you are Don't let others steal your joy and determine who you are meant  to be Give God total control Let faith be your compass Block out the negatives with the love and joy of the Lord Let Him determine who you are and who you are meant to be SOMEONE AWESOME AND SPECIAL!

      Words are like mounds of clay.  If you use them correctly and shape them the right way, they can become a beautiful masterpiece.  But, if they are developed incorrectly, they can develop into an ugly shaped source of unhappiness.   If we examine the world around us, words are used improperly.  Has someone ever said something cruel and unkind to you?  Many of us have experienced this at some point.  You try with all of your being to overlook their insensitivity, but, it hurts your heart inside.   Yet, there are others whose few words of encouragement have motivated us and uplifted our souls.  So, what does this all mean to our own individual journey?  If we are followers of Christ, He wants us to be just like Him.   Throughout His journey upon the earth, many had said unkind words to Him.  Yet, He never responded in the same manner.  He always used perfect love in all of His fellowship. ...
