It Made Me Sad
Like most people, my husband and I run our standard errands on the weekends. They usually include a stop at the car wash, a run to the hardware store, and, of course, a stop at the grocery store to stock up for the week. Last Sunday, as usual, we made our way through the aisles…

Fear Not
Depending on where you go for the information, some have said that this phrase, “Fear not,” appears 365 times in the Bible, once for every day of the year. In looking at different sources, it does not appear that this specific phrase appears that many times. However, the reference to not fearing, do not be…

The Weirdness
My husband and I were talking last night at dinner. I commented on some of the quirky or weird things that had happened over the week. He agreed and said, “Yeah, there was weirdness, but it works out, and many times what solved it was weird!” I laughed at that. He then went on to…

Just a Little of Yourself
As I was sitting chatting with Father this morning, (side note, inside and not in my usual spot on the lanai, brrrrr), I asked Him to help me do His work today. It’s hard sometimes to know if what I’m doing is what Jesus wants me to be doing. I mean I go throughout my…

It’s OK to Pray
It seems like a silly thing to say, the title of today’s little blog I mean, it’s OK to pray. I do think there are times though when people feel uncomfortable doing so. I’ve shared here before that our family says grace before every meal. Regardless of where we are, at home, in a restaurant,…

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…
