Orderliness
I see God’s order in the world “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 One of my favorite (and well worn) tshirts from my younger mom days had “Chaos Coordinator” displayed across the front. I’m sure many of you can relate! Whether it’s life with young children or craziness at […]

Thankfulness
“Give thanks in all things.” 1 Thessalonians5:18 It’s always easy to give thanks when everything is going our way. It’s a natural state of being, isn’t it? Think about when things aren’t going our way. Have you ever heard anyone say something like “Wow, things are really horrible at work right now. I am SO […]
Courage
Joshua 1:9: Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. In Joshua 1:9, Joshua is exhorted to be strong and courageous by the Angel of the Lord. But that is not the only time Joshua is told, verses […]
Kindness
“Be kind to one another.” Ephesians 4:32 For over two thousand years, the Golden Rule has served as the foundation for building healthy relationships. Even those who aren’t Christians would recognize this principle of “loving others as ourselves” as a must in civilized society. The apostle Paul reiterated this truth in the book of Ephesians […]
Contentment
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5 How many of us have felt contentment in a time of hurt or need? Or when life goes through a rough patch and we are left at what seems to be the bottom, wondering if things could get […]
Prudence
I think very carefully before I make a decision “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light for my path.” Psalm 119:105 I love that this character trait follows wisdom (from last week)! Why? Because prudence is defined as “wisdom applied to practice.” They belong together! When your children are little, prudence […]
Wisdom
“For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” Proverbs 2:6 The book of Proverbs is the first in what is considered the wisdom literature of the Bible. Throughout its chapters, we are instructed and exhorted to live a godly life and to be alert to the ways of folly. The truths […]
Prayerful
“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Corrie Ten Boom, who is known for having helped Jews escape during World War II, posed the question “Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?” The role prayer plays in a Christian’s life goes far beyond mere wishful thinking or good thoughts. Prayer is our direct line […]
Peacemaking
“Hatred stirs up strife; but love covers all sins.” Proverbs 10:12 Conflict is an inescapable part of our lives. It dwells within our families and homes and within our businesses amongst coworkers and customers. Even sacred places, like , are not exempt from the threat of an occasional dispute. Off the top of your head, […]
