My name is Mary Bachert, and my husband Dan and I are both born again Christians and have been married for over 39 years. We have 4 children all married to their Christian sweethearts, and they have blessed us with 13 grandchildren.

It has been my passion to write for many years, but felt intimidated after comparing myself with others, who were far more talented, so I did nothing about it.  However, in July 2010, the LORD kept prompting me to obey HIM, and so began this devotional blog. I want GOD to use me as a vessel to bring honour and glory to HIM through these devotional outreaches. If there is one thing that I don’t want to happen, it is to realize at the end of my life, that the talents and gifts GOD gave me, I hid under a bushel. 

So may the LORD bless you as you read them and if they are a blessing to you, then share them with others.  Then, why not invest in eternal treasures that will last forever, rather than the temporal ones which will pass away.  Remember, it is never too late to start!

Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:  but let him that glorieth, glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth ME, that I am the LORD which exercises lovingkindness, judgment and righteousness, in the earth:  for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.     Jeremiah 9: 23, 24
