The People Connection

A few weeks ago I shared a story in this little blog about a friend of ours who passed away. I shared about the brightness of her eyes that always sparkled, even in her advanced stages of dementia. I believe her eyes showed the beauty of her soul. Yesterday was Connie’s funeral and it was…

Simple Message

I continue to be blessed by comments from so many of you. Your words of encouragement are so appreciated. Many of you say that you enjoy reading my ramblings each morning (or whenever you get to them) and that somehow my words are “just what I needed to hear today”. Well friends, I can assure…

Let the Words

This morning I have been doing some reading. I’m feeling a little out of sorts, trying to reground myself. What’s the best thing you can do when feeling this way…well, dig into the Bible. I was listening to a podcast yesterday and the host mentioned just that. He was talking about feeling tired and stressed,…

Eyes for Emily

Usually, when I sit outside on our lanai to have my morning chat with Father, it’s quiet. However, in the last week or so the bubbler in our little lake has been running consistently. So, this morning as I sat and listened to the water, thoughts of Emily Rea came to mind. I’m thinking that…

He Made US

I was having dinner with some folks last night, several were much younger than me, like my youngest daughter’s age. So, yes, young enough to be my children. I was listening to their conversation about technology. They talked about how they don’t use cash, they use Apple Pay for everything, they even use their watch…

Can You Just Guide Me

I think we have all probably been in a place where we feel lost. We’re struggling to make heads or tales of whatever is in our hands. We feel like we are floating on the ocean and there is no lighthouse or beach to guide us. I know I have been there, many times in…
