"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost." (Matthew 18:11 KJV)  We stopped at a store going out of business. It was one of our favorites. It was sad to see it close. The first woman who helped us was Asian. After she so carefully served us, I asked her about what she knew about Jesus. We started talking about God and, before you knew it, she was praying with me and gave her life [...]

"But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble." (Psalm 37:39 KJV) The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. We found that the house we are in needs some work. A couple of years ago, we met a builder and homeowner who was interested in leasing a house to us. I had the opportunity to pray with him, and he gave [...]

“And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me.” (John 5:37 KJV) My ribs were in great pain. I could hardly move. We had an appointment with the doctor. It was very hard to get to the car. After we drove up to the building, my husband parked the car in front to get a wheelchair. I was surprised that a man with a wheelchair returned with him. I could not see the man’s face, because my husband was helping me get [...]

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.” (Exodus 34:14 KJV) I needed therapy for my back again. The search for a physical therapy center has been a challenge because most centers or therapists are involved in other spitirul practces. I found a small physical therapy business near where we live, but it too mentioned a practice I don’t want to get near to. It seems, though, that this is the way of the world [...]

“For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” (Psalm 91:11 KJV) A store was going out of business. We ventured in to take a look at what we might need. As I walked around, I noticed a lady who looked very stressed. “Hello. I noticed what a nice job you are doing placing everything in order.” “Thank you. I'm really very nervous today.” “God can give you peace.” She stopped working and [...]

And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:23-25 KJV) He looked very serious and sad, as I watched him work in the fish area of the store. Finally, I approached the area. “You look so serious. Are you okay?” [...]

In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4 KJV) This is the fourth time we have had a problem with a new mattress. This is very unusual, since the brand is one of the best on the market. Each time we get one, though, it sinks in on one side. We had to call the service department again to ask about what to do. They said they would send out a representative to take [...]

 “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.” (Matthew 4:18-20 KJV) At this store, the cashier was a young man. The one who was helping him by placing the items into bags was also a young [...]

“He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.” (Revelation 3:5 KJV) I glanced at his name tag, as I placed my groceries on the counter. His name is spelled the same in English and Spanish, but pronounced differently. I addressed him by the Spanish pronunciation. “How are you?” “Ah, you said my name correctly. Most [...]

“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” (Titus 2:13 KJV) We were next in line to be called to the cashier’s area. The number above the counter ahead of us started flashing. From where my husband and I were standing, I could not see the cashier. I  wondered who it would be that the Lord would have me tell about Him. As we approached the area, I saw that it was [...]
