A Gift is not a Reward, It’s a Gift

Posted on February 17, 2025February 17, 2025by Katherine Walden
Step out of your old ways and walk into the freedom God’s calling you to. His grace leads us into a land free from the choking weeds of regret and overflowing with His love

It would be silly to try to pay someone back for a gift they gave you out of the goodness of their heart, wouldn’t it? And yet, we often fall into that trap. God gives good gifts to His children, but some of us waste time and energy trying to “repay” Him—forgetting that His gifts […]

Fare Thee Well 2021! The word of the Lord for 2022

Posted on December 31, 2021December 31, 2021by Katherine Walden
What is the Lord saying for 2022? With a grateful heart, say farewell to 2021 and look forward to 2022

Fare Thee Well, 2021! Thank you, 2021, for the wisdom, patience, and strength that I developed through the challenges you brought my way. 2021, I promise never to forget the truths I learned as I journeyed through the past 365 days with you.

Living a Life of Thanks

Posted on November 21, 2021November 21, 2021by Katherine Walden
If you learn the art of daily thanks-living, you’ll be guarding your heart against hardness. Without it, you open yourself to spiritual decay.

How does someone keep their heart from hardening when bad things happen? They embrace the daily practice of giving thanks. I don’t know all the answers. However, I have seen thankfulness as a significant thread in the lives of many of my spiritual mentors. They all learned the benefits of living a life of intentional […]

It’s Your Joy, Do All You Can to Keep It!

Posted on December 2, 2019December 2, 2019by Katherine Walden
Circumstances can't rob you of your joy but your attitude and responses to those circumstances can! 

A few years ago, it definitely was not beginning to look like Christmas in my city in mid-December. At least, not on the surface. With temperatures well above freezing and no snow on the ground, I still found myself singing “Jingle Bells” as I darted around my neighbourhood in my power-chair, a rare luxury in […]

Thanksgiving Should Be A Default Emotion

Posted on October 14, 2019October 14, 2019by Katherine Walden
Thanksgiving should be the default expression of a Christian's heart. Therefore, my obligation to be grateful is not dictated by my circumstances.

In Canada, we celebrate our Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October. It’s the day where we give thanks for our family, friends, and provision. Many people mistakenly believe that our Canadian Thanksgiving is just a copy of the American Thanksgiving holiday. Canadians do share many of the same traditions as our neighbours to the south […]

God’s Prescription to Cure a Disgruntled Heart

Posted on April 15, 2019April 15, 2019by Katherine Walden
od's prescription for heart discouragement? Gratitude! Think about what Jesus did for us in the days leading up to Easter. You can't help but be grateful!

The Lord’s prescription for my ungrateful heart is a simple one. He asks me to intentionally choose to live each day in gratefulness. I write this at the beginning of what is called Holy Week in some church traditions. No matter what your denomination or faith stream, it’s a good time to think upon the […]
