Relationships of Mothers and Daughters
May 12th
Posted by karenrob in Dealing With Difficulties
May is a month when we often think of mother-daughter relationships. There are Mothers Day Celebrations and Mother-Daughter Teas and Banquets. I’m in the stage of life in which I’ve made the full circle from the time my mother cared for me as a little girl, supported me as I sprouted my wings and went off to college, moved to another city for my first job, got married, had my own kids, etc. Now I have grown daughters of my own and grandchildren. And my mother needs my support as she struggles with physical pain, widowhood, loneliness, and the frustrations More >

By Brother Lawrence
For three centuries the writings of Brother Lawrence have taught Christians that God is as present in the kitchen as in the cathedral and as accessible in the living room as He is around the Lord’s table. This simple, yet profound teaching will empower you to seek the joy of God’s presence in the midst of every moment and circumstance.

You Are God’s Flower Garden
Jul 23rd
Posted by karenrob in Seasonal Devotions
Did you ever notice how quickly a small flower bud opens up into a magnificent blossom? Every spring I am amazed to see how quickly the little buds pop out of branches, bushes, and the ground. And then I get excited as within days the buds burst open into leaves, blossoms, and flowers. Just a little nutrition from the soil, warmth from the sun, and spring rain, cause the unfolding of glorious beauty all around us.
Did you know that you are God’s flower garden? The living Word of God, spoken into your life, contains everything needed to unfold the glory More >
Busy Moms Need A Devos Break!
Jun 17th
Posted by karenrob in Children's Quiet Time
I watch my energetic grandchildren bouncing around, calling for mommy, talking, crying, laughing, and go, go, going. They have a whole series of needs and wants throughout the day, and usually it’s “mommy” that they call upon for help.
I watch in awe as my daughters juggle taking care of them, cleaning the house, homeschooling, serving in the church, cooking, doing laundry, grocery shopping, and meeting the needs of family and friends. Their lives are full of activities and on the go constantly. I remember my days of young motherhood also, and I remember how difficult it can be in the More >

Hope deferred makes the heart sick. Proverbs 13:12 Where there is no vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29:18
Recently, my husband interviewed for a job and made it to the top three. When we found out the job was offered to someone else, we were very disappointed. Throughout our marriage finances have been tight, but it has always been our dream to one day have enough money to own a house, support more missionaries, and have some left over for savings. At the beginning of this year, More >
Lemons, Lemonade, and Watery Custard
Mar 15th
Posted by karenrob in Every Day Life
A women’s devotional by Karen Roberts // Years ago I frequently heard a song that said, “When life hands you a lemon, try making lemonade.” Every now and then the tune pops into my head. Maybe God is giving me a friendly reminder that when things don’t seem to go right, I should take a second look and see how the situation could be turned around into something good.
I know it’s a worn out saying that “Every cloud has a silver lining.” But I’ve found it to be true. When we ask God for His perspective, we see how negative More >
