Rejoice in One Another

By | December 20, 2012

I want to share the story about Mary and Elizabeth with you all because it is such a beautiful witness as to how we ought to rejoice in one another. I once was given a card that said “comparison is the thief of joy.” How true is this? It is so difficult to recognize and appreciate the goodness in others when we are only focused on wanting others to see the good in ourselves. Luke 1:39-45 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s

By | October 23, 2010

The past two weeks have been such a blessing. We have been diving into Mary, her role in the church, how she can help us, and how we can come before her for guidance to our father.
