about

I am a woman, loved by God, and determined to live by life to glorify my Savior, Jesus. I served in ministry with my husband for many years before his death in 2015. Now, I live on the farm where I grew up and enjoy being close to nature, wild and domestic. I enjoy gardening growing both vegetables and flowers. A herd of cows roam the fields around my house. Deer and other wild creatures make appearances often. I thank God for his Creation and especially for his strength and presence with me. Without God, I would be lost. Praise His for His goodness and love!

  • Warnings to be Heeded

    On the first day of the new year, I was rudely awakened by the loud alert from my mobile phone. The weather folks were alerting me that an imminent weather event was about to happen; icy roads and nearly zero visibility!  If I had been driving, that would have been a welcome warning.  But I…

  • Christmas Blessings

    “The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, ‘I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and…

  • Be Still

    I enjoy receiving Christmas cards, especially from friends who live far away.  This year I received my first one on the first day of December and a couple more soon after.  One of those first cards (from my niece) had this on the front: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). I…

  • Thanks-Living

    “For in him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28a). When I think about Thanksgiving, I think of the many things for which I am thankful. My family, my memories of loved ones now gone home, my home, food, beautiful scenes of mountains and nature. . . The list goes on and…

  • Frosty Morning Surprise

    As I walked toward my driveway one chilly, frosty morning I noticed something red in the rose garden.  The roses had stopped blooming, or so I thought.  As I came nearer I saw a beautiful red rosebud. What a surprise!  Only one or two of the bushes had shown many blooms all summer. Wayne was…

  • Jesus and Demons

    I have been reading the gospels recently (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and noticed the many times Jesus rebuked and cast out evil spirits. These demons possessed people and sometimes caused them to do violent things. I’ve read these familiar passages many times, but never thought much about the significance of what Jesus did.  Jesus’…

  • Finally!

    I think things are finally in place so my site can be reached through mymorningthoughts.net. Changing my site was almost beyond my capabilities I discovered. So, I am most thankful for the help from the chat option. AI was kind enough to connect me to a real person! It has taken hours for me to…

  • Trying Again

    I am having difficulty getting this new site to work as I thought it would. I seem to know just enough to get me started and off into the weeds of technologies I don’t understand. I have learned a few things but obviously must learn more. I’m still working at it.

  • Welcome

    Launching I am so glad you found me at my new web site. I hope you will be blessed by something I write. Writing is like therapy for me. Some days are hard days and some are good days. I write about both kinds and at the same time show you how God is working…
