Harvest Table

Today's post provides practical help in focusing our heart and mind on the Gospel.

Shirley offers fresh perspective on something we all face daily--the choice to love others or to love self.

Shirley shares with us the three ways God answers our prayers. It might not be what you'd expect.

Shirley shares the importance of being willing to receive from others with gratefulness.

Shirley shares specifically what it looks like to obey God His way.

Today Shirley challenges us with several questions like this one: What would happen, if you regularly, went into a private room, closed (or locked) the door and got on the floor before the Lord? Read this post and be encouraged in your pursuit of God. He's waiting...

In the image of God, men and women were created triune beings...body, soul, and spirit. God invites us to fellowship with Him on a daily basis in the secret place, reserved just for you.

Shirley's Corner - Confessions of a bibliophile, one who loves books.

Shirley's Corner - The Blessedness of Labor - In God's plan for mankind (and womankind), blessing and responsibility go hand in hand. How often what God means for blessing, by our attitudes, we turn into drudgery. Like children, we long to throw off responsibility and play--doing absolutely nothing sounds glorious to us. However, God, in His wisdom has other plans.

Somewhere deep in our souls, we are aware that God created us with a plan in mind. He chose our gender, our birth date, the color of our eyes, our ethnic makeup, our place of birth, our parents and our siblings. You had no choice in any of this because He had determined that there would never be anyone else just like you. You are and will always be an "original". He has never had any interest in "copies"...or "clones"...He is fascinated with the genuine you and who you are becoming.
