Welcome to Our Family!

  • Angels Among Us

    Angels Among Us There were two popular television shows with themes surrounding angels: “Highway to Heaven”, starring Michael Landon and Victor French from 1984 to 1989, and “Touched By An Angel”, starring Roma Downey, Della Reese, and John Dye from 1994 to 2003. Stories were told about how angels walked among humans and assisted them…

  • New Year, New Plans

    New Year, New Plans The holidays were amazing! We celebrated the birthday of our Lord and then, a week later, the beginning of a new year. For many of us, 2024 was a difficult and challenging year: family and friends continued to deal with sicknesses, financial loss, losing their jobs, and the brokenness of grief…

  • He Was There All The Time

    He Was There All The Time Looking back on another year, I’m sure we can all agree that 2024 had many obstacles, challenges, sorrows, joys, and blessings. During this year, many of us have lost loved ones; suffered financial hardships; severed relations, and experienced declining health. As devastating as all these are, God has brought…

  • Giving at Christmas

    Giving at Christmas This time of the year we especially remember God’s Best Gift when He sent us His Son to live among us. “For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NIV) These days, there are numerous ways…

  • Thank You

    Thank You Gratitude is sweet every day. During the holidays, we are reminded to thank God for His goodness and His blessings. At Love Thy Neighbor Food Pantry, we have so many reasons for which to be thankful. Reverend Kevin and I started a few years back by handing out food to our neighbors in…

  • When God Says, “Wait”.

    When God Says, “Wait”. Technology is both a blessing and a challenge. Microwave ovens became affordable for residential use in the late 1970s, and cell phones became popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. Even as a Baby Boomer, I remember our family enjoying instant mashed potatoes during our evening meal. ATMs and fast-food drive-in…

  • America, the Land I Love

    America, the Land I Love November 5, 2024, we had an opportunity to cast our votes for the selection of President in our country. No matter the outcome, there can only be one winner selected for the next four year term. On Monday, November 11, 2024, we will celebrate Veteran’s Day. Both our newly elected…

  • A Teachable Moment

    A Teachable Moment My daughter Stephanie and I left early for the grocery store. Kevin needed the car to go to work and would be gone most of the evening. We shopped for the items on our list and were heading home. I drove in the middle lane, knowing the third lane was about to…

  • He Knows Your Name

    He Knows Your Name “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,And He who formed you, O Israel:“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;I have called you by your name;you are Mine.” Isaiah 43:1 (NKJV) It’s refreshing when we cross paths with a friend whom we haven’t seen for some time. We call each other by name and…

  • A Burst of Sunlight

    A Burst of Sunlight I believe it’s safe to say that we have all been in dark places in our lives. It may be a literal place of blackness, but more often than not, it is a time with shadows that confuse us as to which direction to take. “And I will bring the blind…
