Every Day Is Thanksgiving

Well, let the Thanksgiving prep begin. Here we are, Thanksgiving Eve, and I’ve already seen on social media, friends who are filling the fridge with homemade cranberry sauce, coconut cakes, gravy, and the like. I can almost smell the deliciousness of them all. I, too, will be in the kitchen today, after I brave the…

Traditionals

My goodness, we are only two days away from Thanksgiving. We’re making our final trek into our old hometown today, and my mind has shifted to the fun of preparing the Thanksgiving meal. It’s a little different this year than when we lived here years ago. In the past, we hosted Thanksgiving; we called it…

It’s Just

If you’ve read the last few blog posts, you know that we’re heading to spend Thanksgiving with our family up north. We’re making the drive, and admittedly, it’s not the most fun, but we’ve had a good time chatting and playing some remember when. We snuck in a lunch with our Godson yesterday on the…

He Has Other Plans

This morning, I got another reminder that I really am not in control. Newsflash, I really do need to remember that, it makes for easier days 🙂 . Last week at work, our IT company did a security update to our system, including our email system. We have to have all the necessary processes in…

He Will Provide

This morning, I was sitting on the lanai (a Florida term for patio), spending my daily quiet time with Father. The fountain on our little lake had not yet come on, so it was indeed peaceful. I was watching as one of our many long-legged, pointy-beaked Florida birds was strolling along the bank. Before I…

Preparations

Our youngest came into town yesterday. She’s helping her folks make the drive back home for the holiday. Wow, did I really say that? I’m not old, you’re old 🙂 . Actually, I admit, having her here to help with some final preparations before we leave is a relief. I might have made a little…

Let it Flow

Did your mind go right to the song from the movie, “Frozen”? You know the “Let it Go” song. Oops, sorry; now you will probably have that song in your head for the rest of the day. Totally not intended. As I was thinking about this little blog today, I was also thinking about all…

Ice Cream Memories

Yesterday we celebrated my husband’s birthday. It was a good day, nothing fancy, no big party, although we did sing happy birthday to him during our weekly team meeting. Oh, and we did buy his favorite birthday cake for the meeting, the lemon cake from “Nothing Bundt Cake”. Wow, there is a shameless plug 🙂…

Take A Moment

There are many special gifts in this world. I invite you for a moment to think about the special gifts in your life. Now, take a moment and openly say, “Thank you Lord for the gift of ____and____and____“. Feel free to add to the list. It’s important that we give thanks every day for the…

Find Him

A few months ago, I shared here about a friend who had given me a little Jesus to carry with me. Ever since that day, I’ve been doing just that; I carry him in my pocket. When I reach into my pocket, it’s a constant reminder that He is always with me. It wasn’t long…
