Lessons from Painters

I was so excited yesterday. Our office repairs are almost completed following Hurricane Milton’s damage. The painters were in yesterday finishing the last painting, including my office. This is the same small business that painted the church a few weeks ago and I really liked them then. It’s just one man maybe in his late…

The Carol of Our Father

We have an unspoken rule in our house that we don’t listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Now granted, usually first thing the next day I’ve got our favorite carols playing. It’s always enjoyable when that one song comes on and I’m like, “Ah, I love this one!”. Over the past few years, I’ve…

Go Anyway

Like many people, my husband and I had yesterday off. It was a welcomed day with nothing planned, something pretty rare in our lives 🙂 . We took the opportunity to sleep in a bit, enjoyed some coffee, sat on the lanai, he worked a crossword puzzle, and I caught up on looking through a…

It’s an exciting week, not only are we celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, we are celebrating the return to services in our church this weekend.

A Week of Thanks

I’ve shared here before that Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. There is just something about the coming together of family and friends to give thanks for the gifts we have in our lives. Of course, the delightful smells and tastes of Thanksgiving don’t hurt either 🙂 . This weekend I saw wonderful pictures…

Give in to the Colors

The weather is changing here in SW Florida. A major cool front is coming through and we’ll see some 50’s this weekend. Ya, ya, I know, those of you up north are already expecting snow. It is a relative thing you know, the cold that is. The time change has the sun rising and setting…

It’s His Day & I’m Blessed

Today is my husband’s birthday. He’s been up north the past few days visiting friends, (a good friend turned 80 last week), and family. He’s heading home today and I’m looking forward to having him back. As I sat down to write this little blog this morning asking Father what message I could share, I…
