Five Messages 4 Your Heart!

Main animated image

A friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair, who can face with us the reality of our powerlessness - that is the friend who cares!

Gratitude flows from the recognition that who we are and what we have are gifts to be received and shared!

My hope is that the description of God's love in my life will give you the freedom and the courage to discover God's love in yours!

Hospitality is not to change people but to offer them the space where change can take place!

We are not what we do. We are not what we have. We are not what others think of us. Coming home is claiming the truth - I am the beloved child of the loving Creator!

Brokenness Lived Under Blessing!


Hope For The Broken Hearted
Many people don't think they are loved, or held safe, and so when suffering comes they see it as an affirmation of their worthlessness. The great question of ministry and the spiritual life is to learn to live our brokenness under the blessing and not the curse. Henri J. M. Nouwen
