Something I noticed about my mom in her last years battling Alzheimer’s and other health problems was her ability to remember things that happened long ago while forgetting the simple things in the present. It seemed so odd. How does that happen? When you think about it, don’t we tend to ingrain experiences and wordsContinue reading “MEMORIES”

PUZZLED
My husband and I started a puzzle two years ago that we haven’t finished. It sits partially completed on the puzzle board in the spare bedroom. We had completed some pretty difficult puzzles before and even framed one. I chose this particular art design for its simplicity, which turned out to be its complexity. TheContinue reading “PUZZLED”
FACADE

I’m thinking along the lines of abuse victims. These people will defend theContinue reading “SWEET CONSISTENCY”
BORED
I don’t remember being bored as a kid. Living on the farm where there weren’t any other kids my age to play with, I usually found things to do outside by myself. This was when I learned how much I love animals. I had dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, a tiny turtle from Woolworths, a salamanderContinue reading “BORED”
LIFE
Have mercy on those who are living their testimony of faith in real time. There is always something to learn and challenges to overcome. It’s not over until it’s over. The power of love conquers all. Have mercy. For I am convinced that neither death nor life,neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor theContinue reading “LIFE”
PRAYER
Dear Lord, thank you for this day. We are blessed because You are a forgiving and understanding God. You have already done so much for us, and yet you keep on blessing us. Help us start the day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude, and let us take the best of each dayContinue reading “PRAYER”
