Take hope in the knowledge that you are cherished by the One who made you—you are sheltered in the shadow of His wing, close to His heart. It is my prayer that as we get to know one another you, too, will see beyond the veil and will learn to say, “Even so, I walk in the Presence of the Lord”
With joy,
Nan
Scriptures of Encouragement ~ A Flap, A Flurry, and a Flutter
I'm preparing to leave this weekend for the Writer's ADVANCE! Boot Camp, so I'm crazy busy, but didn't want to miss a blog posting. My readers are so faithful to me. In appreciation, I do the best to remain faithful to you, as well. As I walked Blue today, the Lord...
Scriptures of Encouragement ~ The Tenderness of God
"But, Daddy, I don't want to go!" It was time for our grandson to return to his mom's house. Broken homes equal broken hearts. Even when there's no animosity between divorced parents, broken homes still equal broken hearts. I cuddled him in my lap, wiping his tears....

Scriptures of Encouragement ~ Never Alone
I snuggled beneath a quilt and watched the dawning light. Billowing clouds raced like stallions across the heavens, opening windows to a teal blue sky. Dusty rose of morning mixed with teal and frosted the base of the clouds with bronze. Stunning. The bronze...
Scriptures of Encouragement ~ Icy Staccoto Notes
Our temps climbed into the forties today drawing my attention to something absolutely beautiful. Something to ponder. For days arctic air had overspread our mountains. Wisps of breath, suddenly visible in the bitter cold, fogged glasses and created miniature icicles...

Scriptures of Encouragement ~ Those Glorious Salt Trucks

Scriptures of Encouragement ~ A Blue Exclamation Point
A flash of blue grabbed my attention. My eyes followed the indigo blur to the top of charcoal-colored branches, skeletons against the winter gray sky. It was a bluebird, of all things. Yes! In the dead of winter a bluebird graced me with his presence along my...
