Recently we have had birds try to build a nest in the wreath hanging on our front door. Each time I open the door there are tiny twigs on the porch from their failed attempts. This reminded me of an experience we had a few years ago when our determined feathered friends were more successful….

The Center of His Word
This is a post I wrote for Counting My Blessings about a year and a half ago. I thought it might be worth sharing with you here at 5Min. I began my morning by reading Psalm 117 and 119 as God had led me to set my thoughts on the center of His Word. Psalm…
Take Off Your Mask
These two dear friends were such good sports! At our Women’s Retreat several years ago, they were recruited to allow their makeup to be put on from behind. The girls applying their makeup could only use touch to decide where to place eye shadow, blush, and lipstick. A little crowd reaction may have guided them as well,…

Rise and Shine
When our children were at home I would often awaken them by singing, “Rise and Shine and Give God the Glory!” We even had actions that went with it, although it was often hard to get them to join in first thing in the morning. LOL Isaiah 60:1 reads: “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and…
