(Heaven Serenades are poems that could be read or sung, called Psalms) With so many distractions, challenges, and obstacles in our lives, it is so easy for them to become the dominant focus in our lives. So, today I just want to remind us to take out our magnifying glass and instead of using it to focus on the circumstances, let’s turn it inwardly and focus on the amazing and powerful Lord Jesus who lives within us. Only in…
(Heaven Serenades are poems that are read or sung called, Psalms) If you recall from our last blog, “In the Fullness of Time,” like our brother, Job, our Father uses everything in our life, especially suffering, for His amazing purposes. We also learned, He uses it to draw us into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. One of my favorite scriptures says, “After you have suffered for a little while, the God of ALL GRACE [who imparts…
(Heaven Serenades are poems written to be read or sung, called Psalms) It is interesting how we all sometimes try to understand the ways of God in our lives without inquiring of Him but presume we know what He is up to. The wisest man in the world cannot fully understand all the workings of our Father in His universe, so why do we try to figure Him out? I have discovered there are things our Father won’t let…
I was in the grocery store the other day without wearing my mask and smiled. Then I said, “Lord, thank you so much for your grace and protection, and the COVID-19 shots; I am FREE to move more freely and can breathe again!” I am so grateful for the little things in my life; what about you? You can’t truly appreciate the freedoms we have until they are limited or taken away, right? For example, hanging out with friends…
(Heaven Serenades are poems that could be read or sung called Psalms) It has been almost a month since Mr. Sun came out to play with me in the “Sunshine State.” It has rained almost every day this month which has caused quite a depression in my brain and emotions. I enjoy doing things like swimming, walking, biking, and being outdoors, which I can’t do. Bobblehead (combination of depression, obsessive tendencies, confusion, and babbling) is what I get to…

Grannum Not one day goes by that I don’t breathe Your name. Not one day goes by that I don’t sing Your praise. Not one day goes by that I don’t whisper, I love…
(Heaven Serenades are poems that could be read or sung, called Psalms) Father’s Day is coming up next week, so this week I want to reflect, first, on our natural fathers and the roles they play in our lives. Here is an excerpt from a blog written in 2018 entitled, “The Power of Our Father.” GRACE WHISPERS – The Power of Our Father Over the years, as a counselor, I understand how easy it is for us…
(Heaven Serenades are poems that could be read or sung, called Psalms) Do you remember the movie, “The Pretender?” It was a television series in 2001, an action drama movie that became a weekly series. Jarod, the main character, was a crime fighter who disguised himself as different people to catch bad guys. It was amazing how Jarod could go undetected as he deceived people pretending to be a pilot, doctor, and other professions. This movie came to mind…
(Heaven Serenades are poems that could be read or sung, called Psalms) Isn’t it a beautiful thing to know that we are IN Christ and He is IN us; we are His Beloved. No matter what we face each day, the ONENESS of our union is inseparable! I love Psalm 139:11-12 in the Amplified: If I say, “Surely the darkness will cover me, and the night will be the only light around me,” Even the darkness is not dark…
(Heaven Serenades are poems that could be read or sung, called Psalms) I was thinking about a passage of scripture when I woke up the other day and wanted to share a little insight on it today. Ephesians, Chapter 2, the Amplified version of the Bible states: And you [He MADE ALIVE when you] were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you once walked. You were following the ways of this world…
