No Plan
Those of you who know me personally know that I’m a planner. I’m a list maker, and I like it when things are in order 🙂 . I guess it’s my ops brain. Yesterday, I took the day off because it was supposed to be one of only two days in like the last three…

The Brighter Path
Lately we’ve had some pretty amazing sunrises and sunsets here in SW Florida. The cloud shapes and colors have filled the skies with pinks and golds; it really has been amazing. Yesterday morning, as I pulled out of the driveway, I could see the sky was again painted with pink. I turned onto the main…

Pastimes
Back in the day, I loved to sew. I made my kids’ dresses when they were little. Their Christening gowns, Christmas and Easter dresses, even the wedding dress for our oldest. I made various items for our home: curtains and table runners, pillows, and yes, the dog bed for our granddog. I can’t remember the…

Talents for Good
We’re all good at something. I have to admit I’ve never understood the term “hidden talent”. We either have talents or not; I don’t know how they can be hidden. Ok that was a lot of garbly gook in those sentences, wasn’t it? I do think it’s interesting how people have talents. Take my husband,…

Through the Rubble
Last week, I mentioned in this little blog that I wouldn’t spend too much time giving you all the play-by-play on reconstructing our little church. However, I’m sure I’ll find a message at times for this little blog during the process. I also know that when I need support and/or prayer, this is the best…

Promise of a New Day
Yesterday things were a little off. If you read this little blog, you know it was the first anniversary of the day my brother-in-law went to be with Jesus. Throughout the day, things felt a little off. I know that was the processing of the day. There were many moments of silence as my husband…

Rememberance
Today is an anniversary. It was one year ago that my brother-in-law Mac walked into the arms of Jesus. It doesn’t seem like it should be a year already. It feels like just yesterday. We’re going to do a few special things today as we remember him. My husband wants to drive his Mustang, which…

Saturday Blessings
I’m headed out early this morning to help with the funeral of a sweet man. I mentioned him in this little blog several weeks ago. Because of that, I was going to simply share a prayer for everyone as you begin this Saturday. As I was reading through some prayers, I found this list of…

Pictures and Home
I spent some time yesterday talking with family, getting an update on my brother’s situation. Things are moving, slower than we hope, but they have found a place to rent while their home can be rebuilt. As I thought about ways to help them, something came to mind. I’m so thankful that they are safe,…

Give Yourself Grace
This morning, as I thought about this week coming to a close, ya, I can’t believe it’s Friday already, I thought about conversations I’ve had with friends. I’ve had some text and verbal conversations with friends over the past few days, and we’re all feeling a need for rest, both physically and mentally. This weekend…
