“What guarantee do we have that God will meet all of our needs?” by Iris Fisher Smith

In the book of Jeremiah chapter 3: 19 to 22, says, “how gladly would I treat you like sons and give you a desirable land, the most beautiful inheritance of any nation. I thought you would call me father and not turn away from following me. But Like a woman unfaithful to her husband. So have you been unfaithful to me oh house of Israel, declares the Lord. A cry is heard on barren heights. The weeping and pleading of the people of Israel, because they have perverted their ways and have forgotten the Lord their God. Return, faceless people; I will cure you of backsliding. Yes, we will come to you, for you are the Lord our God.”

“Jesus wept.” John 11:35
My grandmother, whom I was very close to, died a week ago today. I had the honor and privilege of being with her as she left this world and went to be with her Lord, Jesus. It was not hard to let her go, because she desperately wanted to go home. The sorrow I feel is not for her–I know she is happy, healed, and whole. No, the sadness I carry now is for me, because I miss her so much.

“A Change of Hearts” Fiction by Tammy Maseberg

The timing of Jack, my father-in-law, being in the hospital and dying stunk. It really couldn’t have come at a worse time. I was extremely busy at my job, I had kids at home with the flu, and Denny, my husband, was out of the country on business. It all fell on me because no one else in the family could get there fast enough. Everyone was too far away, and even some of those didn’t care enough to make the trip. No wonder, either, because Jack had spent his life laying a foundation of mistrust, anger, and abandonment of his family and friends.

“Detours” by Becky Spencer

Our trip “detoured” us through London, where we met friends Alyson Jones and her two children to do some sightseeing. Loved visiting historical sites and hearing the background from a local! We were short on time, but we decided to throw caution to the wind and visit Buckingham Palace, anyway. It was a much further walk than we realized, and we were running quite late. We decided to take a shortcut at one spot, only to be delighted that we’d arrived in the nick of time for the changing of the guard–the one thing Anna most wanted to see! Very cool . . . if we’d done things any differently, she’d have missed it!

“I Believe in Angels” by Becky Spencer

I’ve always believed that God leads His people.  The first time we traveled to Swaziland, Africa, in 2006,  was expecting His guidance more than ever, even if it meant sending an angel to trumpet the way.  My husband Tracy and I knew He was tugging on our hearts to go, but our question was whether or not He was also asking us to move to Swaziland.
I’d heard about the children orphaned by AIDS, but until I arrived, there was no way to imagine how hopeless their situation had become.  Swaziland is a kingdom of about 1 million people.  It has the highest incidence of AIDS in the world–some estimates are up to half the population.
