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…

Simple Celebration

This evening we’re looking forward to hosting some special friends for dinner. I’ve written about them before, a group of amazing people who came to know each other through disaster. You see we all came together as close friends last year during Hurricane Ian serving with the Marco Patriots. Through the challenges of that storm,…

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.

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…

Trimming and Memories

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. It was nice to have a little downtime and not have an actual schedule to follow, (outside of Thanksgiving morning that is). I can’t believe we’ve finished Thanksgiving and are already looking at Christmas in a few weeks. My husband and I were looking at the December…

Happy Thanksgiving my friends. I lift prayers for you all today that you may have a day filled with family and friends. A day filled with love, laughter, and a connection to Father. I’m posting here the prayer I gave last Thanksgiving. I’m thinking this will be an annual prayer that I post, it’s so…
