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.

“Here ye, hear ye.” Washi-type tape at Dollar Tree! There’s about ten different varieties. At our store it’s displayed with the Christmas decorations. I opened one and tried it. It stuck good but also pulled off easily. There’s about three yards on each spool. Stuck well and pulled off easily. God bless and I hope you Read more
It’s almost November. For some of you that doesn’t mean much. Here in Michigan, it means less and less daylight. Season Affective Disorder is very real here. November first means it will be dark by about 6:00 PM. Yikes! It’s hard to maintain a positive attitude when dark clouds seemed stalled over our heads and there’s a Read more
This bench was made for me by my Dad. If you look at the top you will notice the wood is really thick. You can’t buy lumber this thick anymore. I don’t know where he got it. Anyway, it was painted a red/orange years ago as you can see from the inside of the legs. Read more

This continues the theme of “happiness”which I started last Monday. I’ve been thinking more and more about this concept of happiness. I disagree that happiness is a choice because I agree with all the research that concludes that happiness is the result of our actions. It is not (despite all the cutesy sayings out there) something we choose anymore Read more
