Parents are resilient people. Most of us like to think we did a decent job of raising our children but for those of us not quite sure about that, we crave a little confirmation now and then. I’ve heard many stories from parents who were surprised at how badly they misread their children’s earlier signalsContinue reading “I Noticed…”

What If…
A friend posed the question if all the frills of Christmas including the gifts, decorations, trees, and food, were taken away, would we still be celebrating? I love giving and receiving gifts and all the glitter of the season, but I also love the SPIRIT of Christmas that prevails during the month of December. NoContinue reading “What If…”
A Move Of Faith
October 14, 2020 Today we finally closed on our new house! I’ve waited until this day to write about the last three months progress because I wanted the deal to be sealed with no chance of unforeseen problems. It was a long, sometimes very intense time of seasonal change in my husband’s and my life.Continue reading “A Move Of Faith”
BLUE GARLAND
Special occasions call for special attention. Way back in the 1960’s grocery stores commonly had promotions to get you to buy your groceries at their establishment. They gave away “Green Stamps” for each dollar you spent and these were usually pasted into stamp books which after saving up enough could be redeemed at designated storesContinue reading “BLUE GARLAND”
CHOICES
We enjoy a lot of freedom in this world. We can choose how we live by making choices that set the ball rolling to achieve our goals…or not. That “or not” is also a choice. We can choose our emotions and how we will react to the things that happen in life; the words saidContinue reading “CHOICES”

MORNING PRAYER
Lately I’ve been having trouble sleeping. For the last two weeks I’ve been waking up around 3:30 AM and having to get out of bed to go to the restroom. I try not to because I know I’ll not go back to sleep, especially since the alarm is set for 4:05 anyway. So I’d lieContinue reading “MORNING PRAYER”
Wisdom in Stewardship
Stewardship: the job of supervising or taking care of something, such as an organization or property. I looked this word up because I want to be a good steward of the resources and gifts that God entrusts and blesses to me. The more He gives, the more responsibility we have to use and take careContinue reading “Wisdom in Stewardship”
Pepperoni Pizza
I love keeping track of the ways God takes care of me. It’s a joy to know He hears my pleas and then seeing how He creatively answers. Today was one of those days. I’m a kitchen manager in an elementary school. Our walk-in freezer has a ceiling light that the ballast needed toContinue reading “Pepperoni Pizza”
BIKING? ME?
My husband is an avid biker. He has all the gear, a nice bike, and can ride for tens of miles at a time…fast. For years he has tried to get me to ride a bike but I did not want to do it out in public! I am a couch potato. “What if IContinue reading “BIKING? ME?”
