Does God Listen When You Whine?

Posted on April 13, 2018 by Sharon Rose Gibson

“I miss my mommy!” She snuggled up to me to me on a bench at the pre-K playground.

“I put my arm around her as I empathized with her, “I understand you miss your mommy.”

“My Grandma came for lunch today,” she shared.

“Good, I’m glad you got to have lunch with your grandma.” I had an assignment as a substitute teacher at pre-K for the day. They invited the parents or grandparents to come have lunch with the children.

“I want to go home now. I miss my mommy.” She shared in a plaintive voice as she leaned her head against my shoulder.

A Treasure Restored

Posted on January 7, 2017 by Sharon Rose Gibson

“I can’t believe it!” I heard a young woman exclaim as she grabbed the glass Christmas tree sitting on the shelf. “This is exactly like the one I broke that belonged to Grandma!”

I stood in the aisle at our local Goodwill store on New Year’s Day.  I had watched her reach down to pick up the glass Christmas tree. She turned to her young son and showed him the tree. Then she picked it up and cradled it in her arms like it was a long-lost treasure.

Her joy captured my attention so I smiled at her. “Well, this is God’s gift to you!”img_4807

You’re Not Alone

Posted on November 9, 2015 by Sharon Rose Gibson

One of those times I felt especially alone in facing my challenges occurred yesterday. God surprised me with a reminder of His care for me.

For the whole day I had felt especially vulnerable and alone so I prayed for God to show me His care for me.

One of my errands that evening required a trip to the grocery store. As I headed down the yogurt aisle, I looked up to see a friend of mine smiling at me. He was with three young people and he came up to me and greeted me.

God Took A Walk With Me

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Sharon Rose Gibson

The most amazing thing happened this morning!

I caught a glimpse of the sunrise outside my window so I rushed to put on my clothes so I could go out and enjoy the beauty.

I had been listening to Psalms for early morning encouragement but I decided to turn off my electronic device and simply listen to the birds chirp and savor the creative formation of the clouds.

Suddenly, I became aware that God walked beside me. Wow, I’ve never experienced that before. Though I’ve felt Him many times and sensed His presence or Him speaking to me, I had never experienced Him walking with me. So unbelievably awesome!

Children Are A Gift No Matter How They Come

Posted on August 25, 2014 by Sharon Rose Gibson

I saw a touching sight today. When it’s my turn to serve in my grandson’s Sunday School Class, I always enjoy the 4 and 5-year-olds.

We have two little boys in the class from serious abuse backgrounds who have been adopted. They’re making progress with the love and support of their adoptive family.

Today, the moment the dad came to pick up the boys, one ran to him and the other one looked up with a shout of joy, exclaimed “Daddy!” I looked at my friend, in time to see the tears spring to his eyes.

A Father Can Be A Place of Refuge

Posted on June 22, 2012 by Sharon Rose Gibson

What kind of image do you have of God the Father?
Do you see Him as warm, loving and compassionate or angry and distant?

The last couple of weeks before this Father’s Day, my Father God drew me once again to the truth of who He really is and not my perception of him.

Sometimes we get distorted ideas of who God the Father is because of the imperfections of our own earthly fathers. For years, I thought God was mad at me when I made mistakes, until I read and reflected on this verse,
