As grown-ups, it’s easy for us to forget the childlike faith that God asks of us, as mentioned in Matthew 18:3. Amidst the mounting bills, increasing responsibilities, and the anxieties of daily life, we often overlook the fact that the God who governs the universe knows the number of our gray hairs and cares about even our smallest needs. In today’s culture, which frequently exclaims, “Adulting is hard,” we have reluctantly embraced the challenges that come with the journey of life after reaching double digits in age (at least, that’s when it became difficult for me). Consequently, having the faith…

In a world filled with uncertainties, it is easy for fear to creep into our hearts. However, as Christians, we are called to be a light in the darkness, to stand apart from the world, and to find hope even in the most challenging times.

In this article, we will explore the importance of standing apart from the world and how it leads to a life filled with hope rather than fear. “For I know the plans I have for you,”…

Here is a cute and funny memory shared by Betty Jenkins. I came across this gem from Storycorps as I was looking for an uplifting and humorous article to write for My Faith News. When Betty Jenkins was a young woman, her mother gave her an inflated bra with a straw-like tube that was used to inflate the cup pads and accentuate the wearer’s form. Betty recalls, “I was very skinny, and I didn’t have any curves. I guess my mother got kind of worried, because she didn’t think I had enough boyfriends…I was real excited, so I blew and…
I came across this letter by chance, and I when I read it, I wept inside. It truly struck my heartstrings when I realized how much time I don’t spend with God. So I wanted to share this in hopes that it will awaken the hearts of others who seem to be drifting along in this chaotic, busy world without realizing how much God wants to be part of their lives. It certainly opened my eyes, and I will strive to do more to strengthen my relationship with Him. Here is the letter from Heaveninspirations.com: Inspiring Story: A Letter…

After 50 years, Melissa has finally been reunited with her family courtesy of a DNA test. According to the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram, Sharon Highsmith, Melissa’s younger sister, remarked, “It’s overwhelming and incredible to me.” They attempted conducting their own independent private family investigations in addition to working with police enforcement.

Tim Busfield was Melissa Gilbert’s soulmate, and they got married. Here’s a strange story about how they met. We know this well-liked actress from her time on “Little House on the Prairie,” when she played Laura Ingalls. In 200 episodes of being a farmer’s daughter and looking at life through her experiences, mishaps, and point of view, she won our hearts. I, for one, think the show needs a new start or a spin-off. Back to Melissa, at the age of 57, she has “found the one whom her soul loves.” After two failed marriages and a lot of self-reflection,…
Wedding vows, in this charming tale about a cancer patient who marries in the hospital, talk of the intense love we have when we discover our life mate, regardless of how long or short our time together may be.

Like many couples, Zach and Madison began their relationship as friends. A few years after…
Laughter is the best medicine. That’s why God has a sense of humor. I mean, look at the platypus. I think he created that just to throw scientists off of evolution. They still don’t know what it truly is. It has a tail of a beaver, a bill of a duck, lays eggs and is poisonous. (Yes, they are poisonous! Google it). So where did it “evolve” from? God is probably still laughing as the scientists continue to scratch their heads as they ponder. So with humor in mind, I’m tossing in a few memes. Who doesn’t love to laugh?…
There are many people who believe in near death experiences. There are also those who doubt that they are real. Some people think it’s just the neurons flashing in your brain causing a hallucination, some think it’s just a dream that they wake up from. Regardless of what others believe, the person who actually experiences the near death experience are true believers and have no doubt that what they experienced is real. One such case is from Dr. Mary Neal, a scientist who always claimed herself a Christian even though she had more doubt than faith when it came to…
