  • The Light of Christ

    The beautiful Advent season is soon to come to an end. It has been good for me this year to be still and quiet. I did not rush into the busyness of the season but savored the time. I practiced more silence at home with the beauty of soft candlelight surrounding me. The light shines

  • A Gentle Healer

    The Lord has been with me, as a little baby. I have not spent much time with the Lord this way. He presents Himself to me, as an infant, and invites me to spend time with Him. He doesn’t talk to me, but I understand that He desires me to sit with Him. He is
