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 ~ Unending Praise
Bursts of copper and ruby red mingled with the green boughs of the hemlocks. Russet colored leaves blanketed the path, crunching and crackling beneath my feet. A bluejay bounced from branch to branch, chatting as he went. I watched him flick his head back, stretch his...

Scriptures of Encouragement ~ A Sure Place
Daddy was a giant of a man, at least to my little girl eyes. I ran to him when I was afraid. I crawled into his lap when I needed comfort or a snuggle. My daddy was a sure place in my little girl's world. I played a game with daddy. We dubbed it the Shadow Game. On...
