http://ripplesofpreciouspebbles.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-chains-we-forge-in-life.html
The Ripples of Precious Pebbles. Monday, December 7, 2015. The chains we forge in life. This weekend we saw a local production of "A Christmas Carol". We have seen the play or movie in various forms on numerous occasions but these words stood out to me:. 8220;You are fettered," said Scrooge, trembling. "Tell me why? I wear the chain I forged in life," replied the Ghost. "I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.”. Jesus was the greate...

The Ripples of Precious Pebbles: What are your actions saying?
http://ripplesofpreciouspebbles.blogspot.com/2015/10/what-are-your-actions-saying.html
The Ripples of Precious Pebbles. Monday, October 5, 2015. What are your actions saying? This post might sting. Why do you go to church? To worship, to hear God's word, to confess sin, to take part in communion, to pray, to fellowship? Just going and sitting may be cleansing for your soul or bring you closer to God for the day, but what are the lasting affects of your Sunday worship? Not only for yourself but for others? How long into the week before you slip into the worldly ways? Is your faith dead?

The Ripples of Precious Pebbles. Saturday, October 24, 2015. Two sides to every story. This is the same tree trunk looked at from opposite ends. One is jagged and rough where the tree has rotted away. The scars and decay of life are exposed. I have quite an imagination, but what do you see in the center of both of these pictures? Two sides to every story. Wednesday, October 7, 2015. The other children adapted as these two new girls moved into their home. They had to share the attention but they were ...

The Ripples of Precious Pebbles: Introduction
http://ripplesofpreciouspebbles.blogspot.com/2015/10/introduction.html
The Ripples of Precious Pebbles. Friday, October 2, 2015. When I was young, we used to vacation at Cape Cod off season every year. The beach we stayed at was sandy but parts also contained many small rocks. I spent hours walking the beach, during day looking for the rare piece of sea glass and often settling for pretty pebbles. At night I looked up to the stars and moon and listened to the crashing waves. We are each like those rocks, precious pebbles tossed out into the water of life. Whether we tou...

The Ripples of Precious Pebbles: November 2015
http://ripplesofpreciouspebbles.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html
The Ripples of Precious Pebbles. Thursday, November 12, 2015. The Jigsaw Puzzle of Life. Upon reading Psalm 139:16, my attention was grabbed by the unintentional rhyming in this translation. It's a comforting little poem and makes it easier to commit to memory. All the days (you*) ordained for me. Were written in your book. Before one of them came to be.". I added "you" to help the rhythm a little. Starting with a rhyme, I felt led to close with one. May our lives reflect His love for us.

The Ripples of Precious Pebbles: Sowing without reaping
http://ripplesofpreciouspebbles.blogspot.com/2015/10/sowing-without-reaping.html
The Ripples of Precious Pebbles. Wednesday, October 7, 2015. Still top in my thoughts these days are my daughter's two adorable foster girls. They will be turning 2 and 3 next month. They have brought us such joy. Both are very busy yet they will let you hold them for a moment and snuggle. They have smiles that melt hearts and when they look at you, you know their thoughts are deeper than they can verbalize. The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost." G.K. Chesterson.
