Romans 8:38–39 — “Nothing… will be able to separate us from the love of God.”
Opening Reflection: Love Shouts
Fearis loud. It echoes in our minds, narrates worst-case scenarios, and tries to convince us that the story is over. It can prevent us from moving forward, binding us in a cocoon of doubt and anxiety. But Scripture reminds us: love gets the last word. God’s love is unshakable, unbreakable, and unending. It is a beacon of hope that pierces through the darkest moments. Anxiety, grief, or uncertainty can’t silence God’s love. It speaks louder.
Love holds firmer, wrapping us in its embrace when we feel most vulnerable. It stays longer, lingering in our hearts and souls, providing comfort in our most trying times. When fear tries to write your ending, God’s love steps in with a better script. He writes about redemption, restoration, and hope. God’s love rewrites our narratives to reflect His grace. Your fear does not define you. You are held by love, a love that transforms and uplifts. And love always finishes what it starts, guiding us toward a future filled with promise and peace.
Real-Life Example:
You’re grieving a loss, and fear whispers, “You’ll never feel whole again.” It tells you healing is impossible. But God’s love holds you through the ache. It reminds you: this isn’t the end. You begin to see flickers of hope, moments of comfort, signs of life returning. Not because fear disappeared overnight, but because love stayed.
As you continue on your journey of healing and finding solace in God’s love, remember that fear may linger in the shadows, but it doesn’t have the power to dictate your future. It is God’s that will guide you towards wholeness. Embrace the flickers of hope and moments of comfort as reminders that love always triumphs over the darkness of fear. With each passing day, you’ll discover that it is love that has the final word, not fear.

This is my Christmas hutch this year. I am going to be posting a lot today because I am really late getting my Christmas home tour. I wasn’t feeling too well a couple of days last week, and, well, it’s a busy time of year. So you will be seeing a lot today. All of Read more
SADNESS (This first part, (the part in italics) was written December 26th, 2016.) Yesterday I took down a few, very few, Christmas decorations. Usually, I enjoy this because I get a chance to re-organize everything and earmark some for Goodwill. It’s a time I look back over the holidays and recall all the good times. But this Read more
Another quick gift idea for you. This one is just a Dollar Tree bag where I cut out the picture and framed it. I already had the frame. I painted it white and then dry brushed black on top of the white. I didn’t worry about matting it. I had the pallet board background that Read more
OK, I don’t usually post twice in one day but I have a lot of pictures I’ve taken and I’m determined you are going to get to see them. I so wish they were as professional as some of the “big girl’s” blogs but I edited them carefully and think I have some good ones. Read more
I made these last year for a friend. I also made matching Christmas napkins from the same napkins. I’ve already posted these pictures but I’m posting again (and very early in the day) just in case you need a last minute gift. You don’t even have to be “crafty” to pull this off. Dollar Tree Read more
(This was written a couple of years ago.) So what’s this Christmas season looking like for you this year? For me, I’m pretty much working non-stop but feel like I have a handle on everything. Hubby and I have been having a ball making cut-out cookies. There’s nothing more appealing than a man who actually likes making Read more
