Sunrise
If you’ve been reading this blog for very long, you know that it began with a simple vision of sharing a bible verse and a picture of a sunrise or sunset. Well, I still do that in every blog, but of course, it has grown into something more than I ever dreamed. A community of…

Being Content
We were fortunate to spend the long weekend with family. We gathered to celebrate the anniversary and dual birthdays of our nephew and his wife. Family from multiple states came together to celebrate and catch up on life happenings. It was a joyous time, and we all commented as we said our goodbyes, how great…

The First Memorial Day
This weekend, we celebrate Memorial Day. Yes, there will be barbecues and picnics, parades and music. It’s a three-day weekend and has often been referred to as the “official start of summer”. My prayer, though, is that everyone stops for a moment on Monday and remembers truly why we hold this holiday so dear. I’ve…

Perspective at Dawn
My husband and I are early risers during the week. We’ve been that way for many, many years. There is just so much you can accomplish when the rest of the world is still sleeping 🙂 . I have to admit, though, recently I’m realizing that maybe I don’t have to rise quite so early.…

A Daily Choice
Our days are filled with choices. Just think about everything you choose each day. What to wear, what to eat, which route to take to work, and if you’re in Naples, do I use a turn signal or not, LOL! The choices we make every day, well, in many cases they are too many to…

Today is “Youth Sunday” at our church. Each year, around this weekend, we celebrate all of the young people in our church. Those in middle and high school, and one of the seniors, will give the sermon today. Others will play key roles throughout the service, ushering, reading lessons, and being a chalice bearer. It’s…

Is It Better
I’ve shared with you all before that sometimes I come to this little blog and don’t have a clue what to share. Maybe it’s because things in life are going well. I tend to draw on happenings from the previous day or so, and if it’s been kind of quiet, well, then I am searching…

Just Be Thankful
Have you ever just stopped and given thought to all the gifts the Lord has provided? Every day I give thanks, “in general,” for the gifts He has blessed me with. “Thank you, Lord, for all the gifts of this life” is in my morning and evening prayers. There are times when I list the…

Appreciate
We’re traveling home today. It’s been a wonderful few days with some very special people. We’ve said all week that it’s like a family reunion 🙂 . I’m very fortunate, actually, I’d say blessed, to work and spend time with this group. This morning, I simply share a prayer for today. The weekend is around…

Books
Today’s little blog is something a tad different. My sister-in-law, whose husband, my brother-in-law Mac, passed away last September, is a writer. She’s getting back into it slowly, and I’m so glad to see that she is. We all process grief differently, and it takes time, much time. If we can allow ourselves to do…
