Household Names
Bernard Madoff and Michael Jackson are now legacy household names. May I suggest that you add two more important names to your household conversations?
Widow And Her Pot Of Oil 2
God’s miracles are not for us alone. Others watch and are impacted. The widow and her pot of oil in II Kings 1:1-7 is an example.
Widow And Her Pot Of Oil 1
Scripture does not tell us the names of many whose stories were told as examples of generosity, faith, and courage. It’s enough that God knows. One such person is the widow and her pot of oil.
Mary - Mother of Jesus
What do we know about Mary’s days after Jesus death?
Family Of Friends
Spending time with my 3 sisters has me thinking about family and friends. Four little Southern Indiana farm girls swam in creeks, water moccasins peeking out from under rock ledges. We ate persimmons under the trees on the bluff.
Mary - Widow
Mary, the mother of Jesus was a widow. We don’t remember her as that, rightly so. She was the mother of Jesus. Blessed, probably poor, and widowed before Jesus adulthood.
Mary - Courage 2
When we talk of courageous people in the Bible, seldom is Mary the mother of Jesus at the forefront. To me, she is. As I studied her life, I wrote of her in Not Alone. Consider her courage standing at the foot of the cross, seeing her son die.
Mary - Courage 1
Life happens and most of us need a big dose of courage regularly. I found that in studying the Mary, the mother of Jesus. She was told before Jesus’ birth that a sword would pierce her soul, because she would become the mother of the Messiah.
Giving Out - Taking In
We humanoids all need feeding and new strength after giving out. I find that by reading about amazing Christians. One is Helen Roseveare.
Mary - Fleeing Herod
Young Mary, the mother of Jesus knew that a sword would pierce her soul, because she would become the mother of the Messiah.
