The Unexpected

Well, we never encounter it, the unexpected, I mean. Silly question, I know. It happens every day, and to some of us, probably multiple times a day. The unexpected happens, and we’re challenged (sometimes more intensely than others) to deal with what has happened. Here’s a good example: Pensacola, Florida, saw over 6″ of snowfall…

He’s Never Failed Me Yet

I found this song this morning, why I’ve never heard it before I’m not sure. It’s been around for a long time I believe but for me it was the first time hearing it. I have to tell you, it just hit me this morning. What a great message and a beautiful song, and of…

Trust and Simplicity

I’ve shared with you all that there are days when I sit down at this little blog and I’m not quite sure what to share or write. I find that if I’m patient and truly turn it over to Father, then something will settle in. This morning was one of those times when I wasn’t…

Prayer Works

You know it really does. Prayer works. I think there are times when we feel our prayers are not being answered. We don’t see an instant response from Father so we assume He’s not listening or He’s choosing not to answer our prayer. Trust me, I’ve been there. What I’ve learned over time though, especially…

Comfort in a Psalm

Over the last few days, like most everyone, I’ve been seeing the news reports about the fires in California. When I heard that the winds were hurricane force and the fires are 0% uncontained, my heart was heavy. We know hurricane force winds here in Florida, but ours usually come with lots of water, I…

A Clear Mind

The Quiet Work

Last night my husband and I spent much time in the kitchen. We stopped by the store on the way home so we were a little later than usual with our dinner routine. We usually find ourselves working side by side in the kitchen making dinner, chatting about the kids, upcoming things on our calendar,…

Tough Love

We’re beginning the first full week of the new year. So I guess you could say we are officially in 2025. Last week in this little blog I talked about New Year resolutions versus commitments. I mentioned that I wasn’t making any resolutions, but instead, I’m making commitments as they are more binding in my…

Thoughts From the Pedicure Chair

It’s the weekend and you all know this little blog usually comes out later in the morning. I tend to sleep in a bit, grab coffee, and enjoy a little longer time with Father before sitting down to share thoughts. Well, this morning I had an early appointment for a little pampering. So, I was…

Resolution or Commitment

It’s a new year and with that comes all those New Year’s resolutions. You know those decisions we make to do or not do something for the year. The start of the new year brings new hope, a chance for a fresh start, an opportunity to do things differently. If you are like me, you’ve…
