Are you ready for Spring?

You are the reason the flowers grow.
God made their colors and fragrance for you.

You are the reason the sun shines.
God made the light and warmth for you.

You are the reason the misty rain falls.
God freshens the air for you to breathe.

You are the reason the birds sing and fly near your window.
God gave them a song for you. They deliver it where ever you are.

You are the reason the fish fill the oceans.
God gave them for you for food and to enjoy.

You are the reason animals walk the land.
God gave them to you for company, help, clothing, and food.

You are the reason other people live where you go.
God made each one special, like you, to help each other.

You are the reason God sent His Son Jesus.
God sent Jesus to demonstrate God's expectations.

You are the reason Jesus died on the cross.
God loves you so very much, that He sent His one and only Son for you, to take the punishment for your sins. And if you believe in what Jesus did, and desire to follow His ways, you will have eternal life.

He loved you enough to step into your world . . . to experience what you feel . . . and to give you a way of escape.

May this week preceding Easter help you to see how very much God loves you.

Are you ready for Spring?

Beautiful poem, Mary. It is about bedtime (past time for it really) so this is a nice thought for this evening. God is so good the way He packages His love for us each day in all these wrappings that you mentioned. Blessings, Janice

Today I welcome Laura Frantz, a gracious lady showing the love of Christ with her smile. Enter to win Laura's September 2013 release, Love's Awakening Scroll to the end of the post to see how to enter. I was introduced to Laura at an ACFW conference by my a fellow Writer's Alley Cat writer. Immediately I saw Laura's gracious spirit. It's been about two years since and I thought of that Christlike spirit when I noticed her new book release. I asked Laura to share with us the journey God has led her on for her writing career. Of course she graciously agreed. Here is what she said: You Were Born For Nothing Less Thanks so much for having me here, Mary. It’s always a joy to revisit my writing journey as it stays fresh and is always humbling to think how God led me to this place. In a nutshell… I’ve written stories – historical fiction only – since I was seven years old. I think I came into the world hardwired to write. I didn’t

Enter to win an autographed copy of one of Julie's books! see below I met Julie through ACFW. She taught the first class I attended at ACFW. Her husband graciously showed, enduring Julie's stories.

Here is what she wrote: My Journey As a Christian Romance Writer … My journey as a romance author actually came LONG before my journey with God. It happened the moment I read Gone With the Wind at the age of twelve. The instant that Scarlett seared Rhett with a look on the winding staircase of Twelve Oaks, I was hooked, and my “romance-writing career” began with a 150-page, single-spaced ms. entitled When Tomorrow C

I asked Terri: how has God led you on your writing journey? Here is what she said: Dreams God Has for Me Thank you Mary for hosting me today. When America was attacked in September 2011, the world changed. I remember my heart hurt for those who had suffered and died. I thought how could my writing ever mean anything to anyone when there were more important issues going on in the world. I had been writing and trying to publish for eight years at that point and was getting discouraged. I had begun to think maybe it was time to let the dream of publishing go. A few weeks after 9/11 my women’s Bible study went for a weekend retreat to the beach. The theme of the retreat was Dream Big. Throughout the weekend I kept wondering what God would want me to dream
