When Something Touches Your Soul


Have you ever had a smell, a touch, a sight, a sound, or even a taste touch your soul?  Such a poignant touch that tears start to fall, or you revel in a sweet memory this sense brings back to your mind?  I’ve experienced this before, and I had it happen again on Saturday.

Let me explain and share my moment…

I was sitting with my morning cup of coffee, listening to Sirius XM – The Message and the song ‘You Raise Me Up‘ by Selah came on.  My husband and I were in the middle of a conversation and tears just started to flow down my cheeks.  He looked at me with a questioning look on his face, as we weren’t having any kind of earth shattering conversation, and all I could do was shrug my shoulders.  “It’s the song”, was all I could say.  Why?  I have no idea.  I don’t remember when I last heard it or why it was so poignant to me.  But sometimes we don’t have all the answers, do we?

In His hands…we’re all in His hands.  And what a comfort that is.

Good times or bad, He’s with us.  Whether we feel Him there or not…He’s there.

May God bless all of you on this Sunday.

He sure has blessed me.

Does This Look Familiar?


The best laid plans…

And then God laughs.

He’s in control…

He’s in control…

He’s in control.

Repeat after me:

HE’S IN CONTROL!

Faith Barista: {Soul Rest Sunday} In the Secret Place. Hold On To Me.


Faith Barista is one of my favorite blogs.

While I may not read it as often as I could, I’m drawn to it at the times when I need it the most.

And this morning was one of those times.

I’m sharing this today, in the hopes that it may touch you as much as it did me.

Click on the link below and spend 5 minutes in peace.

Let’s try to carry that peace with us throughout the week:

In the Secret Place. Hold On To Me.

God Bless.

Compassion on You


Sunday verse:

Isaiah 54:10

“Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not
be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be
removed.”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Merry Christmas from Motzy and Louis!


Look at these two innocent little faces…

Like they’re the sweetest little puppies in the world…

Louis arrived (along with Alex and Tom) on Saturday and the two puppies ruled the house until this morning when the three of them departed for another Christmas get-together.  It was 4 days of (controlled?) chaos!

I hope you’ve had a wonderful, crazy Christmas – like the one we’ve enjoyed here!

Best wishes to all – and may God bless you with true joy and love.
