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.

Last weekend my granddaughter, hubby, and I decorated cut-out cookies. I think I have the best recipe in the world. I’ll include it at the end of this post. Anyway, I have a new respect for all of you who do a good job of this. It’s a lot of work and requires a lot Read more
I didn’t post this morning and you will certainly understand why when I tell you what’s been going on. As you know, we rescued a feral kitty about four months ago. We are not cat-loving people so you can imagine our surprise to find ourselves loving this little guy. He showed up in the woods at our cabin Read more
These next couple of weeks are going to be very hard for a number of people, those who have lost a loved one this past year. I am one of them. At least with my mom, I expected it. She was ill and in her nineties. But even with all that, this Christmas will be Read more
Here are some pictures from my dining room. This is my hutch. It’s never been decorated the same way twice. The cone trees to the left at the left are just styrofoam trees wrapped in cut up strips of an old black and check wool blanket. The sign is a prototype of others I made Read more
Some days you just hit it big. I had been to a number of store looking for boxes for cookies. Hubby and I have baked about forty to fifty dozen. I am not exaggerating. It’s been a tradition for a number of years. We plan on gifting many of them as usual. But I couldn’t Read more
Here’s another easy DIY sign. I bought the car and truck at JoAnn’s and painted them. As I mentioned in a former post, the words are from the Dollar Tree. The board was from Home Depot and depending on size was no more than $1.50. God bless and have a good day. Read more
