With summer right around the corner, you might be starting to plan a family reunion. You might have many questions. This week on the blog, I'm writing about four things I consider when planning a family gathering. Read the blog at the link in my bio.

One Word: New

One Verse: “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43: 18-19

What fun to celebrate our grandson‘s high school graduation this past weekend! Our 21 grandkids are now in their teens and young adult years, so it’s a season of graduations for us.

It’s been so much fun to pretend we’re young again!

One Thought: You are a God of mystery. It’s a glorious mystery. I can’t explain you even though sometimes I want to. Your mystery is part of what makes you so much greater than man. Thank you that you, with all of your glorious mystery, have chosen to dwell in me.

If you feel overwhelmed and stressed with all the year-end things that May brings, I highly recommend garden therapy. We recently toured some amazing tulip gardens, and soaking in God‘s beauty restored my perspective. Nature always has a way of calming me down.

One Word: Shows

One Verse: “But God shows his love for us in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

One Thought: If you, God Almighty, would send your son to die for me in my own wickedness, then how much more will you show me how to make the decision I need to make.
