Ice Cream Memories

Yesterday we celebrated my husband’s birthday. It was a good day, nothing fancy, no big party, although we did sing happy birthday to him during our weekly team meeting. Oh, and we did buy his favorite birthday cake for the meeting, the lemon cake from “Nothing Bundt Cake”. Wow, there is a shameless plug 🙂…

Take A Moment

There are many special gifts in this world. I invite you for a moment to think about the special gifts in your life. Now, take a moment and openly say, “Thank you Lord for the gift of ____and____and____“. Feel free to add to the list. It’s important that we give thanks every day for the…

Celebrate the Special

In this life, there are so many blessings. Sometimes I think that phrase gets overused. Can it really, though? I think of a few friends I have that when I ask, “How are you?”, they respond, “I’m blessed, truly blessed”. It’s true, we all have blessings in our lives that we need to be thankful…

Their Day

We’ve all seen the various “days” that are recognized. You know what I mean, it’s National Hot Dog Day, National Ice Cream Day, National Sibling Day, etc. While those might be fun to recognize, I have to admit, I feel we’ve gone a little too far. There will come a point when people tune out…

This Is the Day

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. These words come from Psalm 118, verse 24. As I was reading this full Psalm this morning, I realized how beautiful it is. A Psalm that speaks to the goodness of God, the unending love He has for…

A Wee Prayer

Holy Forever

I don’t know about you, but I’m sure thankful that our Lord gives the gift of voice and song to so many of his children. Now, I don’t happen to be one of those gifted children, but hey, I don’t have a problem singing along in the car to those tunes that touch me. This…

Not Mine

I had an interesting slip of words this morning. Well, I don’t know whether it was a slip of words or if it was a correction. Let me explain. You have all heard me refer to this little blog, or the little blog. I really haven’t used the phrase my little blog. It’s funny because…

Today Is A Gift

Yes, yes it is. Of course, every day is a gift; we all know that. You all know that I love Saturday. It’s the one morning in the week when I catch a little more z’s and don’t have to rush out the door to work. We have a few things on our to-do list…

Make the Date

A few nights ago, as my husband and I were making dinner, we chatted about how it was getting dark earlier 😦 . Ugh, I don’t like this time of year, not just because it gets dark early, but also because it’s harder to see the sunset from our windows now. At any rate, we…
