MORNING MEDITATIONS

"Morning Meditations is more than just another women's devotional. It is the heartbeat of a woman with an authentic walk with God. Marlene Burling does not just go through the routine of having devotions, but lives out the valuable truths that she discovers in her daily time with the Lord and that are contained in this collection. She is a true blessing to the women in our church, and I know she will be an encouragement to the women who embrace this journey of spiritual growth with her. Dr. Donald A. Shirk, senior pastor Grace Baptist Church Batavia, New York "Within these pages, you will find encouragement that is personal, practical, and powerful. From her many years as a wife, mother, and pastor's wife, Marlene has gained much wisdom and personal experience. This book is going to be a great tool to help you to grow in your own personal spiritual life." Michael J. Peck DMin, author, family counselor, Baptist church planter "This book is unique, as these devotions are practical and related to everyday experiences and will make the reader stop and think about how this reflects in their everyday walk with God." Rev. Dr. Robert Chambers VA chaplain Marlene Burling has taken simple everyday experiences, objects, and Bible stories and written spiritual applications for daily encouragement. The Lord has helped her to see Him even in the smallest details of life and everywhere she walks with Him throughout the day. God has used these spiritual lessons in her life as part of the healing in her own grieving process after the loss of her husband, James Autry. They were married for fifty-one years. Her husband was a pastor for thirty-five years, and she faithfully served the Lord by his side in the four churches where God called them to serve. She has three married children, ten grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
