The Domestic Church

Thank you, God, for a new year

Thank you for today, God, and for tomorrow – the days ahead we have yet to unwrap and discover.

God is enough this Advent season

Being near the people we love is always reassuring, bringing comfort and peace. It’s not even what they say or do that makes us feel better. There’s something about their presence that helps us feel loved, accepted and safe.

What is heaven like?

Heaven, in my mind, is a gathering place, a place where you are truly together – with God and with those you love.

Move beyond fear

We have faith in our God who is bigger than any threat we can imagine.

Ask and you shall receive

God knows what is best for us. He knows when the timing is right and when we are ready for what we are asking for.

Summer: Hot, humid and hopeful

Rita Buettner July 27, 2020

Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

Maybe if we approached summer more like children – slowing down, soaking in a little extra time with nature, and letting ourselves dive a little deeper into something that helps us feel more alive – we might encounter God in a new way.

Greeting uncertainty with optimism

Rita Buettner June 15, 2020
By Rita Buettner
Filed Under: Blog, Commentary, The Domestic Church

Uncertainty can be scary. But just because the future is unclear doesn’t mean that what lies ahead is terrible.

The one who loved us first

Rita Buettner May 12, 2020
By Rita Buettner
Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

God is love. He loved us first – and loves us forever. He knows us best, seeing deep within us to all we are and all we can be. He sees us and loves us fully. He holds us – and the past, present and future – in his hands.

A trumpet and a lesson in trust

Rita Buettner April 21, 2020
By Rita Buettner
Filed Under: Blog, The Domestic Church

The challenge for us might be to trust God, knowing that he wants what’s best for us and that he knows us better than we know ourselves.

Pie plate connection

Rita Buettner March 29, 2020
By Rita Buettner
Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

Small acts of kindness show how connected we are – and can be – in a world that sometimes feels so focused on individual happiness.

Popsicles before dinner

Rita Buettner February 4, 2020
By Rita Buettner
Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

I have come to see that there are times when the best parenting move is the one that is best for the parent.

Embrace all the New Year brings

Rita Buettner December 31, 2019
By Rita Buettner
Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

We can’t know what lies ahead. As much as we might not like uncertainty, there’s also a gift in not knowing what the future holds.
