Simple Gifts

This morning, I find myself thinking about yesterday and just feeling grateful. It was Valentine’s Day, and of course, I’m so grateful for the love of my life, my husband. We exchanged cards as we always do; we’re past the point of needing to get physical gifts. We have what we need in each other…

Love…Every Day

Another Valentine’s Day rolls around. A day when we celebrate love. A day filled with hearts, cards, chocolate, flowers, and all the things associated with love. We share these little gifts to show those we love that we care. What would happen, though, if we approached every day the way we do Valentine’s Day? I…

Just Another Day

I just realized that today is Friday the 13th. Ya, I used to wonder about all those superstitions. As my relationship with Christ has grown, all those have fallen away. Isn’t it amazing what we, God’s children, manage to concoct to push us further away from Him and His love? Let’s just look at today…

Laugh at Yourself

I believe Father gave us the gift of laughter for many reasons. You’ve probably heard that it takes fewer facial muscles to laugh than to frown. Well, that alone should tell us we should be laughing more. I got home a little later than usual last night, to say it was a strange day, well,…

Come to Me

I’m headed out the door early this morning. I have a big project I’m in the middle of at work right now (redoing our website), and well, it has my mind going more than it should be. As I sat with Father this morning and prayed for guidance and for Him to light my path…

Responding to Faith

As I was walking this morning, I was listening to a music broadcast that CeCe Winans did many years ago. I enjoyed it because she was not only singing, but in between songs she was sharing about her relationship with Father. She talked about having Him in her life from the beginning. She shared how…

Going Back

I haven’t had the chance to capture a nice sunrise or sunset recently. It’s been cold and windy most nights when we’ve left the office, and stepping out on the beach only increases the cold and wind. Ya, I know, I’ve gotten pretty whimpy lately. So, I’ve been going back through my hundreds of sunrise…

Source of Strength

Thank you all for your prayers yesterday. I came to this little blog asking for prayers for some special people, and as always, you did not disappoint. We’re waiting for some test results for Martha, so a treatment plan can be finalized. Keep those prayers coming for clear information on next steps. Pips, well, he…

A Little Goes A Long Way

I’ve said it so many times before, but I am so humbled by the community that has formed around this little blog. It’s God’s little blog, not mine. I do my very best to let Him guide the messages that I write here, and goodness knows that He certainly guides the beautiful sunrise and sunset…

I Gave You These

My husband “scheduled” a call with his younger brother last night. I know it sounds kind of formal, but really, it was just making the time for them to chat. With the time difference and work schedules, it’s been difficult for them to connect. So after dinner last night, he made his way to his…
