A Little Advent

Well, I’m not quite sure where the year has gone, here we are December 1st already. I will say that I welcome this day, for several reasons, first, we’ve officially made it through hurricane season! More importantly though, it’s Advent, the time when we prepare for the birth of the baby Jesus. When our kids…

The Drive

Yesterday my husband and I took a drive in the afternoon. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, temperature was almost perfect and I wanted to pick up a gift certificate for a friend from a place about 30 minutes from us. As we pulled out of our community I noticed that our…

The Power of Connection

We had a little fun yesterday afternoon, well last evening I should say. My granddaughter called us to tell us about her week. She works part-time at the local YMCA as an after-school counselor. Kids from various schools around the area attend the after-school program. For Halloween, the Y has a contest where the youth…

Deploying Prayers

As I typed the title for today’s little blog, a vision popped into my head. I could see angels ready for battle against evil. Wow, makes you wonder what I’m going to share in this little blog this morning hmmm. It’s really not that earth-shattering. Today I just come to you to ask for prayers. You…

Trust Him

Yesterday I spent many hours cleaning our lanai. Milton made a major mess of things and with everything else going on at the church, yesterday was the first chance I had to clean it. It was one of those chores that I thought would go pretty quickly, but once I started I found myself cleaning…

Fill Me Up

I’m old enough to remember the days when we didn’t have “self-serve” gas stations. Heck, they had different pumps for different gas, not just the push of a button on the front of the pump. If like me, you recall those days, you’d pull into the station and up to the appropriate pump. The attendant…

In Plain Sight

I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday afternoon. We’re discussing working on a project together and part of our conversation was about being aware of what and who is around you. We’re all so busy these days, we have to get to the grocery store, fill up the car with gas, get kids…

Listen With Your Heart

A friend of mine lost her brother yesterday. He went to be with Jesus. His last few weeks in this world, actually even longer than that, well they weren’t good. We’ve all probably known someone, or have experienced a situation ourselves, where a loved one is suffering as their time here is ending. In many…

Summer Soiree

Last night we enjoyed one of our first summer gatherings. I think I’ve mentioned these little outings before. In the summer, our church organizes one monthly dinner with a local restaurant. Parishioners volunteer to work with the restaurant with a set menu and price and to host the evening. During the “off-season,” as we call…

Neighborhood Watch

There are just so many times when God knows what we need, and of course, He knows it before we do. It’s kind of how he works. Last night I got home from work a little late. As I came around the corner to our place, I was surprised, pleasantly so, to see four of…
