“I Get To!” Fall Retreat for Ladies
How many times a day do we say, “I have to do this or that?” “I should…” “I ought to…” But as believers in Jesus Christ, we have so much we GET to do; so much to celebrate! In this retreat, we’re going to be talking about how taking this new perspective (or being reminded of it) can change the way we live and talk about our daily walk while on this earth. And release us to JOY.
Who Hopes for What They Already Have? Hope Series #41
My sister-in-law, Kathy, passed away April 27 after nine grueling months of chemo, emergency hospital stays, hope for recovery, and finally the news that her body was giving out. It was heartbreaking to see her suffer. She wanted to live with her husband into old age, to see her daughter get married, love on her grandchildren, and meet her son’s new baby in June. We prayed for healing, but it was not to be. And yet I have the hope of seeing her again in heaven when I die.
Hope for a Better World: Hope Series #40
So how then should we live while we’re on earth? Scripture is very clear that it’s our job to care for our current home—especially our fellow human beings—and honor God with the way we use the resources He has given us. The Bible is equally clear about the fact that this is only temporary. This world is not our home. We’re only passing through on our way to eternity. But our hope for a better world does not give us permission to neglect the one we now live in. In fact, in light of Jesus’ sacrifice of love for us, and His promise to give us a home with Him forever, we should be that much more willing to respect what He’s given us now. Wonder and awe for all He has made is one of our greatest acts of worship.
About Me
My name is Beth Vice and I’ve been writing professionally since 1984. I live on the beautiful Oregon coast where it’s green and cool (and wet) most of the year. I love to get out and hike with my husband, family, and friends, and dance with my sweetheart. I like strong coffee, rich chocolate, fresh fruit and veggies, flowers, trees, and sunshine. But most of all I love sharing God’s Word and telling others how much He means to me.
