CONTENTMENT COTTAGE

WELCOME! In the midst of each life's chaos exists a place of calm and sunshine. I call mine Contentment Cottage. It is the place where I write my stories and find the peace of God. I've posted my "Ice Pick" reviews and will continue to add some of what I call my "Ice Crystals": poems, articles, essays, fillers, and recipes.

IN THE SILENCE

I was concerned that I do not witness for Christ, that I do not go out and preach and try to convert people and that maybe I should do more. I don’t even have children to lead to Christ. Then the chapter I read this morning was Matthew 5, and it was as if Jesus said to me, "You are the light of the world. . . . Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." And I realized there are other ways to win people. St. Francis of Assisi said, "Be special. You may be the only Gospel your neighbor will ever read."
