Ephesians 4:29 states, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” Here’s the story of a day that proved to me, you’re never too old to learn from the young. A Day of Fun I was visiting my seven-year-old, raised-in-church grandson Risden in Alabama in June of 2020. I had promised to come pick him up for... Read more

Remembering 9/11 It’s September, and once again our thoughts turn back to the events of twenty-two years ago when our nation was forever changed. A friend who was there writes: “Every time we have a beautiful day around this time of year I always think, wow! today looks just like that day . . . That day in New York was one of the most beautiful days I have ever seen–Diamond clear sky, not a cloud–not one... Read more

Inheritance: a Message for Grandparents Day

Last updated on: September 8, 2023 at 1:08 pm By Beverly R. Green

Inheritance When I think of the word inheritance, it stirs up mixed images. I suppose most of the time people think of money, antiques, land or jewelry as an inheritance, and in some ways I do, too, but there are so many other blessings in my life that I also consider an inheritance. Inheritance from Mom I inherited a love of books from my mother. Many of my most vivid memories of her from my childhood involve books. She... Read more

Metaphors We Wear

My Metaphors Hair: Yes, I am a 60-something-year-old woman, a modern grandmother, an educated professional. I am also “the woman at the well.” Perhaps that explains a couple of my non-conventional fashion choices–the metaphors I carry on my body. Sporting my long, gray-streaked hair, I often fondly play out the following scenario in my mind: “When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

The Big Water

Going to “The Big Water” Many years ago, my extended family took a trip to Savannah, Georgia. I was blessed to accompany my granddaughters on their first trip to the beach. Although one of the girls was just a couple weeks old, the other was nearly two and able to talk about it. We conversed for days in advance about going to the “big water.” We discussed seeing the waves and how they would feel, sound, and taste. I... Read more

Hummingbird moth (Mendocino53 at Pixabay) A Surprise in My Father’s World Several evenings ago, I sat on my porch in one of those ambiguous moments we call twilight. It was such a lovely, cool, quiet evening and I really didn’t want to go inside, even though the mosquitoes were beginning to appear. Then, a movement in the petunias caught my attention–movement, and a humming sound. I had seen it before a couple of times, but not often: hummingbird moth!... Read more

Sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in the job of being a Christian. My job as a Christian On the occasion of the birth of their little sister, two of our beautiful granddaughters were staying with us. We spent our time together playing games, seeing fun places, visiting relatives, and watching movies. And we ate. Often. That was something I had forgotten about little children–even little girls can consume a lot of food. Not that I minded.... Read more
