Yesterday marked one week into my recovery from back surgery. God announced His goodness by giving me a beautiful, sunny spring day to enjoy! I was so happy and excited! My twin young men cleaned off the umbrella table, and untied the chairs which had been stored for the winter, hoisting them effortlessly onto the … Continue reading The Family that Prays Together…

Good Trees, Bad Trees, and Fruit
"Buy the truth and do not sell it-- wisdom, instruction and insight as well" (Proverbs 23:23 New International Version). I write The Silver Lining, because I want to share God's truth freely with others. I don't buy into false, worldly teachings; no Christian should. But sometimes Christians start looking and listening to what's out there in … Continue reading Good Trees, Bad Trees, and Fruit
The True Sacrifice of Lent and how you can take part
Little hearts during Lent When I was growing up, there were only two main religions on the Air Force Base. You were either Protestant or Catholic; there was nothing in between. I wished to be Catholic, because I liked that the children took communion wafers. No one realized that I already knew and loved Jesus, … Continue reading The True Sacrifice of Lent and how you can take part

Past Paths… and Other Things too Painful to Mention
Last night, via Google Earth, I "traveled" along several paths, remembering how I'd been left alone so many times, since the tender young age of four. I retraced the steps I'd walked in solitude, in both Europe and the U.S. I was shocked at the realization of having wandered so far from home so often. … Continue reading Past Paths… and Other Things too Painful to Mention
Pursue The Shepherd to Escape the Wolves!
Everyone is free to believe as they wish, but no one should fool themselves into believing he or she will ever understand the truth about anything in life without pursuing God's One and Only Son, Jesus Christ. If God says there are wolves among us, pretending to be Christians, He means it. It's true. We … Continue reading Pursue The Shepherd to Escape the Wolves!
Distracted, Rejected, NOT Dejected! 10 Truths
I learned a tough lesson this week, but God proved Himself ever Faithful! There are "Christian" ministries out there with people who claim to know and love Jesus, but when faced with Truth, people who have been wandering off of God's path, will stubbornly dig in their heels, and refuse to budge. They refuse to … Continue reading Distracted, Rejected, NOT Dejected! 10 Truths
Forgiveness is a Chewed Shoe
"Forgive... Or, you can choose not to forgive, and get farther away from God. Usually, if you're not a forgiver, you're not a Christian... Like, if your dog chewed up your shoe... you still love him!" ~Abigail Pelleman, age 7 These were the words my daughter said to me this week, after she overheard me … Continue reading Forgiveness is a Chewed Shoe
Stumped by Forgiveness?
Forgiveness is a command given by God. Since Jesus forgave us, and died for our sins, we must forgive others. Though it's true that forgiveness allows our offender to be released from guilt, sadness, and pain; forgiveness is necessary for us to be free from the roots of bitterness. If the roots of bitterness are … Continue reading Stumped by Forgiveness?
