A Thought for Today
I've been encouraged by friends to write a "Thought for Today" on Facebook which I have been doing for the past 2 months. They have been well received so I thought I'd offer them here as well.See More

I have been reading Max Lucado's book fearless,and its good! I have a confession to make though.

There is so often a lesson in life and there was one for…See More

Today I had a very special visit from my sister-in-law. An everyday experience for some but and overwhelming 'shout it from the roof tops' experience for me. Seven months ago this very special lady was lying in an intensive care unit with a head injury so severe that the doctors did not think she would ever wake, and today here she was thanks to God's amazing grace sitting in my lounge room speaking of her gratefulness to her merciful God. I know that God does not always choose to heal our…See More

How do I choose between Max books? I have a shelf in my study dedicated to his titles. My daughter in law was driven to comment on said shelf "wow, mum, you must really looove Max Lucado books". To which I responded with a smile and said "sometimes I only have to read the titles to be encouraged in my…See More

I mainly read Max online, however I was at a retreat recently and saw three of his books and bought them.
It will be nice to have friends on here, and more incentive to check and post.
Blessings - Jan
