Keep Asking
A long-time friend is visiting for a few days. He arrived late yesterday afternoon and we spent some time hearing about his drive down. He had stopped in Sarasota at the Ringling Brothers museum, (a place I really need to get to), and it was fascinating hearing about this family. I have memories of attending…

The Beauty in Front of Us
The past few days as I’ve glanced at social media, I’ve totally enjoyed looking at some amazing sunrise and sunset pictures. Friends have been in various locations from Colorado to IL and the skies have just been gorgeous. Even our local weather guys are sharing pictures of the skies over the last few days, commenting…

Staying Connected
Last night while my husband and I were cooking dinner my phone rang. It was our granddaughter and when I answered I put it on speakerphone so we could both chat with her. She was calling to let us know she had just found out she was selected for a new part-time job she had…

The Real Thing
I’ve never been much of a fan of Halloween, even when I was a kid it wasn’t a favorite. I really began to dislike it when the costumes got to be so gory and creepy, nah it’s not for me. But I think more than the over-the-top scary movie-type costumes, it’s the whole dressing up…

Game Night and Memories
Yesterday was a day filled with little to-do’s checked off the list. Did some trimming and watering of plants, repotted one that wasn’t doing so well, cleaned a closet and some file drawers, grocery store run, you get the idea. I looked up at the clock and realized it was 5:00pm already. My husband and…

Hate it When I’m Stupid
Ah yes, the many times I’ve said this over the years. I’m guessing we’ve all said it at one time or another. You know, you make a simple mistake and you think “Well that was stupid”. I guess it’s human nature. I found myself saying it yesterday, out loud to a group of wonderful volunteers…

Turnin’ Back Time
If you are like me you think back on times when you probably didn’t make the best decisions in your life. Oh, ya I had some doozies. I found myself this morning wondering how my life might have been if those decisions oh so long ago were different. I reminded myself, we can’t go backward…

Timing and Remembrance
Yesterday I mentioned that I felt Father was reminding me of the gift of freedom we have, using the wreath as a symbol. The timing of that message, one that was reminding me to be thankful for our vets, well, His timing is usually pretty precise. This morning I’m remembering one of our vets. Last…

A Wreath – A Message
Last night after dinner I took the opportunity to order our annual Christmas wreaths. You see we’ve been supporting Wreaths Across America for over 15 years. The organization has a wonderful history, and its mission is simple, each Christmas season they strive to ensure every veteran’s grave has a wreath placed on it. As their…

Finding, Healing, Praying
A few days ago in this little blog, I shared a story about a local elderly woman with dementia, she had wandered off and gone missing. The community has come together to search for her, and more importantly, has come together to pray and ask Father to guide the search. Well, I’m happy to report…
