Cries of Praise

by Jacque Watkins

Sundays are for crying out in praise…   May you give Him the praise of your whole heart today, sweet friends…

What a Day that Will Be

by Jacque Watkins

Today I’m joining Lisa-Jo over at her site to take five minutes and just write without worrying if it’s just right or not. The challenge is to write for 5 minutes flat with no editing, tweaking or self critiquing, with the prompt she gives. And today, her prompt: Full…. GO! Grandpa Joe had lived a good […]

A walk along the road

by Jacque Watkins

Sundays are for…  …teaching, and talking, and walking… …and looking to HIM!     May you enjoy the journey, as you walk along the road this day, teaching, and talking, and walking…looking and trusting…and basking in His warmth and grace!

You are God and I am not

by Jacque Watkins

The day wasn’t supposed to end like this… A volunteer priest, a giving photographer capturing pictures, and her two little girls coming to see. She had arrived at the hospital that St. Patrick’s Day morning with a gleam in her eyes, and a hope-filled heart, ripe with anticipation…now a boy after two sweet girls. The day […]

Wrung

by Jacque Watkins

 Motherhood wrings me… some days less than others. But always some wringing…  And the water gushes and drips,   Photo by Todd Baker ALWAYS a constant falling of water…

Daily Words

by Jacque Watkins

I have gone to church all my life, and have been familiar with the Bible. I have attended, participated, worked, and served at church. I graduated from a private Christian University while attending chapel services 3 times each week, and on Sundays, I served at church in the morning and in the evening, and went on several missions […]

The Grace Giver

by Jacque Watkins

I still feel it like it was yesterday. Memories sear hearts. She had been my friend. My familiar friend. My close friend. The pain.  Memories still ringing, resonating in the deepest rooms of my heart…in rooms I don’t visit often and where cobwebs reside and where time has run past… But still, aching resides there, echoes of the […]

Writing IS Talking

by Jacque Watkins

  If you would have ever told me I would choose to write, voluntarily, I would not have believed you. I’m a biology graduate, a registered nurse, always a lover of math and science…thrilled by predictability, calculation, and the scientific process. I never did enjoy English or Literature classes. In fact, I celebrated the day my […]

Mercy Found Me…

by Jacque Watkins

Your mercy found me, Upon the broken road, And lifted me beyond my failing, Into Your glory, My sin and shame dissolved, And now forever Yours I’ll stand. In love never to end, To call You more than Lord, Glorious friend. So I throw my life upon all that You are, ‘Cause I know you gave […]
