Carefully and painstakingly, he copied word for word the manuscript that called to him day after day.

Day 35 – Everything we need
We are in the home stretch. Day 35 in the book "Through Their Eyes". I just wanted to make a few more remarks about this wonderful woman of God. Anna was old.

Day 34 – I can do that!
"There was a prophetess, Anna, from the family of Phanuel in the tribe of Asher. Anna was very old. She had once been married for seven years. Then her husband died, and she was a widow for eighty-four years. Anna never left the Temple but worshiped God, going without food and praying day and night. … Continue reading Day 34 – I can do that!
Day 33 – You take that back
Words. Our words. Communitcation begins with a word. My grandson is just beginning to learn how to say one word at a time. He's 7 months old. He can't conjugate sentences, but he can repeat syllables over and over again. "Dadadadadadadada." Oops, can you say "mamamamamama?" That's how we learn to communicate. One syllable at … Continue reading Day 33 – You take that back
Day 32 – Holding onto the Promise
How long is too long? Sometimes why does it take so long for God's promises to come to fruition in our lives? When are we suppose to give up on His promise? Well according to Simeon's example - never. At some point on Simeon's timeline God interjected a promise to him. The promise, "Simeon would … Continue reading Day 32 – Holding onto the Promise
Day 31 – Prompted
Oh to live like Simeon. To be so sensitive to the Spirit's leading. Don't you wonder what it was like to feel the Spirit tug at him and lead him to the temple that day. There were several things Simeon did that set him in the sphere to hear from God. Read Luke 2:25-28 in … Continue reading Day 31 – Prompted

Day 29 – God of New Beginnings
We do it all the time. The internet running too slow; hit the reset button. Your phone gets frozen; do a hard reset. Your computer gets caught in the loop; just restart it. Direct TV not working; unplug it and start over. Starting over clears out all the excess data that is slowing down our … Continue reading Day 29 – God of New Beginnings

Day 27 – Hi Ho Hi Ho It’s back to work we go
They went back to work. It is a simple sentence describing and action we all do after Christmas. My grandson told me he cried a little Christmas night because Christmas was over and he had to wait 365 days until next Christmas. I get that. I feel the same way. In fact this year I'm … Continue reading Day 27 – Hi Ho Hi Ho It’s back to work we go
