Heart Matters
meditations from a grateful heart
Heart Matters grew out of my journey writing the Bible curriculum RockSolidKids: Drawing Kids Close to God’s Unchanging Heart. (Hence the lesson title & number on some meditations below.) With each lesson, there were so many overflow blessings! (Aren’t there always, when we’re in God’s Word?) Good things that didn’t make it into the day’s lesson for kids, but just had to be shared with their teacher. And so the first page of each lesson became a just-between-you-and-me-heart-thoughts, extra-blessings page.

Because . . .
My heart matters. I can’t read the Bible without being blessed. It engages my heart and soul and mind.
Your heart matters. Are you teaching a lesson? Just sitting down for your daily Bible reading? I hope these ‘overflow blessings’ will bless your heart too.
God’s Great, Good Unchanging Heart matters most of all.
We’ll never get tired of noticing every good and perfect gift that comes from that Heart, right?
-Psalm 27:8
