Only Made with Love
Yep, we are just one week away from Christmas. As we all scramble to get those last things checked off the list, the last minutes gifts, the baking, Christmas cards, and parties, I hope we can find a moment to just be. I’m just as guilty as others, getting so wrapped up in the traditions and the…

Saying Their Name
If you have read this little blog for long, you know that one of the organization’s my husband and I support is Wreaths Across America. Each year on the third Saturday of December, WAA makes the drive to Arlington National Cemetery with full-size semi trucks filled with handmade wreaths. These wreaths are placed on the graves of…

Hear the Melody
Last night while I was making dinner I heard one of my favorite Christmas songs. It’s sung by Josh Groban and if you’ve ever watched The Polar Express you know which song I’m referring to, (hint, I’ve also included it below in this little blog). Now don’t get me wrong there are many Christmas songs that I…

In the Eyes of a Child
Yesterday I spent some time at a wonderful event we have each year at our church. We call it “Cookie Sunday”. Each year on the 2nd Sunday in Advent hundreds of sugar cookies, (baked by a wonderful group of women), are set out for the children and youth, (and let’s face it even the adults),…

Simple Celebration
This evening we’re looking forward to hosting some special friends for dinner. I’ve written about them before, a group of amazing people who came to know each other through disaster. You see we all came together as close friends last year during Hurricane Ian serving with the Marco Patriots. Through the challenges of that storm,…

Collections
Many years ago, I don’t even remember what year it started, let’s just say that long ago, while we were Christmas shopping, we saw this cute Santa among the decor displays. My husband commented on how peaceful his eyes were. We bought that Santa those many years ago, little did I know at the time…

Happy Thanksgiving my friends. I lift prayers for you all today that you may have a day filled with family and friends. A day filled with love, laughter, and a connection to Father.

Giving Thanks – Always
Last night on the way home from work, we stopped at the beach to watch the sunset. I have to admit it was a beautiful evening, with very little wind, and the beach, surprisingly was not that crowded. There were groups of friends who, like us had come down just to watch the sun set…

The Giving – The Hope
The start of the Holiday week, Thanksgiving is here already. As I sat down to write this little blog this morning I was going through the events of this coming week. Even though we don’t cook for a large group anymore, there is still prep work for what we do now on Thanksgiving. Last year…

Grateful
Yesterday as I was working it hit me that Thanksgiving is just a week away. Where in the world is the time going these days I ask in unbelief! In thinking about what is truly one of my favorite holidays, I found myself walking through memories of past Thanksgivings. I think I’ve mentioned here before…
