Heavenly Father, I am increasing in weakness…and that is good! I used to be really strong for a woman. I grew up carrying heavy loads in our family greenhouse and grew strong from heavy physical labor. I have also been told throughout my life that I can do anything and become anything. I am finding […]
Heavenly Father, Thousands of teachers are starting a new year with a fresh crop of students. Why do they place themselves in classrooms overflowing with young minds, crazy emotions, wiggly bodies and loud voices which have a hard time containing themselves? It has to be a calling of love to subject themselves day in and […]
Dear friends, There are a lot of books and some great support groups for grievers these days…so what makes My Forever Memories of You different? It’s my hope and prayer that sharing eternal hope is the biggest difference. We were never made for this life to be all there is. In fact, it is only […]
This prayer was posted with permission from parents… Heavenly Father, You are knitting another grandchild in the womb of my sweet daughter-in-law. This precious baby is due right around the first of the year. Even before this tiny little girl was conceived, You already knew her. You knew what Your plans are for her, how […]

I didn’t recognize the number and started to ignore it, but there was a quiet nudging that said to answer. I answered it, half expecting a […]
Heavenly Father, I’m sure You could tell me how many times I’ve prayed for You to “take away” a hard trial or uncomfortable situation. Many of those prayers have been for situations I’ve been in. Probably, there have been just as many times I asked You to take something away that seemed too hard for […]
Glorious Heavenly Father! There has been much excitement over the fiftieth anniversary of man walking on the moon. As a young girl, we didn’t have a television but we just happened to be at a hotel on a family trip when this incredible moment in history happened. My parents, brothers and I sat mesmerized along […]
Heavenly Father, We don’t go fishing as much as we used to. Of course, “our” form of fishing is me sitting on a chair in the shade writing in my prayer journal or reading a book while my husband walks around fishing! He gives me a hard time because there have been several times when […]
