Shop and Serve

The title of today’s little blog sounds like the name of a great new eating establishment 🙂 . Actually, though I was thinking this morning about the great day we had yesterday, but in a way I was sad. Let me explain. My husband and I actually chilled a little yesterday morning. We had a…

Song-Prayer-Gifts

We enjoyed an evening with special friends last night. So many wonderful conversations, an evening filled with much laughter. For a few, we were meeting for the first time, but by the time the evening was over, we felt we’d known each other for years. I love how that happens sometimes, you meet people and…

It Is Doable

Recently my husband and I have been watching old Christmas movies. Some of the classics, you know, Rudolph, Charlie Brown, Home Alone, you get the idea.

Well, we have some pretty set traditions on Christmas day too, but that’s for later. I’ve also mentioned that due to schedules this year, our typical traditional activities moved up…

Emmanuel – God with Us

There are just some days when Father is front and center. Well, that is a pretty silly statement, isn’t it? He should be front and center every day. What I mean is, there are some days when He is just more present in the moments than other days. You can feel Him moving in the…

Collections

Many years ago, I don’t even remember what year it started, let’s just say that long ago, while we were Christmas shopping, we saw this cute Santa among the decor displays. My husband commented on how peaceful his eyes were. We bought that Santa those many years ago, little did I know at the time…
