Father First

It might be a short little blog this morning. You see I found myself on the lanai with Father a little longer. This morning it just felt good, well even better than other days, it felt good to just sit and be in conversation with Him. I guess as our relationship with God strengthens, actually a better word…

Taking the Wheel

A few friends reached out to me after reading yesterday’s little blog. I guess I’m not alone in some of the situations I’m finding myself in, truly needing Father’s guidance I mean. I think in all the challenges we face in life there comes a time when you really have to relinquish things to Father. You have to…

Yes You Can

Over the past few days, I’ve been dealing with a few challenges. I do believe that Father puts us in certain situations because He has a plan, He and He alone knows what we need more than we do. I believe He places us in the middle of things to make a difference, for either us to…

Sometimes We Just Need…

Some days I think it’s best to just say little prayers. This morning when I was sitting on the patio, (in my sweatshirt, jeans and fuzzy slippers, yes it’s cold here), I was thinking about things I wanted, and needed to do today. Typical Saturday chores like going to the grocery store for instance come to mind. However,…

Be Still…

This morning I made my way out to my patio to spend time with Father. As I mentioned yesterday, I needed to get back to having a conversation with Him rather than just reciting prayers. My relationship with him has kind of been on “auto-pilot” for the past few weeks and that isn’t where it should be. I…

Give it a Try

This week there is a class taking place in our parish hall. It’s called an “icon writing” class. I found the title interesting, especially after realizing what the class teaches. The participants are painting a picture, an “icon” of Mother Mary and baby Jesus. Think of a cross between a paint-and-sip party and a fancy paint-by-number. Over the past…

It’s Ok to Bite Your Tongue

Now that’s a fun title for this little blog today I think. Let’s face it, we’ve all been there, in a situation where you really want to say something to someone but something inside you says you really shouldn’t. Ya, I’ve found myself there, recently even. Let’s face it, we’re human and there are just times when…

Finding, Healing, Praying

A few days ago in this little blog, I shared a story about a local elderly woman with dementia, she had wandered off and gone missing. The community has come together to search for her, and more importantly, has come together to pray and ask Father to guide the search. Well, I’m happy to report…

The Tingle

Last night I sat on my lanai as I usually do to spend a little time with Father before going to bed. We have a fountain in our little pond behind us and it had just shut down for the evening. I couldn’t believe how quiet it was, I could even hear the crickets chirping.…

When Father Says Pray

I’ve mentioned many times before that there are days I come here and I’m not quite sure what to say. I guess today is one of those days. Maybe I’m just tired, my brain is going in a million directions, my thoughts are on upcoming days, and unfortunately, they are not where they should be…on…
