Seeking God's Presence. Love my morning coffee. Yesterday, however, I grimaced after the first sip. Too much Half n Half. The flavor overpowered the coffee. So I brewed more coffee. Poured it into my mug to dilute the Half n Half. Didn’t help. At the end of the day, a mug of cold coffee sat on the patio table where I’d left it. That evening, I noticed there were two similar cartons in my refrigerator. Turns out I’d poured Whipping Cream instead of Half n Half into my coffee. Me: Didn’t I say that? I’ve s...

Seeking God's Presence. Love is patient, but I’m not. Oh, I can patiently wait in a grocery line. I patiently listen when my son discusses the latest video game. I’m patient while I hold the door for an elderly person who walks at a snail’s pace. But I’m not patient with myself when it comes to losing weight. The meaning of the Latin word patient. During a diet, I want to see immediate results. And I don’t want to suffer long. So it makes sense that long suffering is another word for patience. 8221; Twel...

God’s Word – Even In This
https://karenfosterministry.com/tag/gods-word
Seeking God's Presence. Tag: God’s Word. Why Pray if I Can’t Have My Way? When I was raising my three children, I’d ask them what they wanted for Christmas. If it was within my power…and budget…their heart’s desire would show up beneath the Christmas tree. Birthdays were no exception. Ask and it shall be given to you. My grown children plead the fifth.

Or did Eve recognize God’s grace. Even so, the ene...
