The Carol of Our Father

We have an unspoken rule in our house that we don’t listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Now granted, usually first thing the next day I’ve got our favorite carols playing. It’s always enjoyable when that one song comes on and I’m like, “Ah, I love this one!”. Over the past few years, I’ve…

More Thanks

It’s an exciting week, not only are we celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, we are celebrating the return to services in our church this weekend. It’s been a busy few months since Hurricane Milton came through and my goodness I’ve learned a ton. I never thought I’d be able to talk about HVAC systems, floor restoration, drywall…

A Week of Thanks

I’ve shared here before that Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. There is just something about the coming together of family and friends to give thanks for the gifts we have in our lives. Of course, the delightful smells and tastes of Thanksgiving don’t hurt either 🙂 . This weekend I saw wonderful pictures…
