Devotions by Barb -- July 14, 2026

In this space, I am sharing devotions written by our dear Barbara Meade.

Barbara grew up a Quaker and is a regular attendee at Spiceland Friends Church. Her faith and Quaker roots go deep as her uncle was a Quaker pastor, evangelist, and artist. Barb's writings about her many life experiences reveal her faith in Christ and highlight the memories of a great family, her years in the banking industry, and her time as a local small business owner. Barb's desire is to serve those around her through her encouraging devotionals and writings from her life. Barb has recognized that our relationship with Christ grows throughout our lives, both in good times and through life's challenges.

WILL YOU BE READY?

Do you want to be ready or be left behind? We never know what

lies ahead, what tomorrow will bring.

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be

saved.

James 4:14 What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for

a little while then vanishes.

Sounds harsh, but we vanish only from the earth, God has

another world waiting.

John 3:15 Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but

have everlasting life.

John 11: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never

die.

John 14: 2 In my father’s house are many mansions; if it were not

so, I would have told you. I go and prepare a place for you.

John 14: 8 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Be Ready !!! Amen
