The Christmas Effect

I’ve never been a fan of seeing Christmas items in the stores starting in August. I’m a believer that Thanksgiving is such an important Holiday and one that deserves respect, and I don’t like that we kind of just skip over it and go right to Christmas. Now, having said that, I do love the…

Don’t Doubt

A few days ago, following the funeral of my brother-in-law, several family members went to spend time at their family’s farmland. My sister-in-law owns a large portion of the wooded area that is simply beautiful. We used to spend many a Thanksgiving weekend celebrating the Rally of the Clan on this land. We’d have a…

Gathering

Why does it take an event for us to gather with family and friends? Over the past weeks, we’ve spent time with family, many of whom we haven’t seen in a very long time. Today, we will spend even more time together as one. While I’m sad about the reason for our coming together, I…

Still Work To Do

My husband and I are headed back to the Midwest today. We’re going to celebrate the life of his brother Mac and say our final goodbyes at his funeral. I’ve been thinking a lot about Mac over the past few days since he passed away. He’s not in this world any longer. He was never…

Mac

My brother-in-law Mac walked lovingly into the arms of Jesus yesterday afternoon. The past few weeks have been kind of a blur, which is understandable when the unexpected happens. Over the past few weeks, we’ve spent time together as a family. We’ve said I love you more times than I can count. We’ve played “remember…

Seal the Cracks

Yes, the cracks. The fallen one he is patient. He sits in wait and looks for the little cracks where he can work his way in and do his best to make you feel alone and apart from Father. It’s his mission in his life, you know, to do his best to show the Lord…

Evil Destroys Itself

The night before last, I had a bad dream. I don’t usually have dreams that wake me up in a start, but I sure did that night. I was riding a bike down a street. On each side of the street were homes, almost duplexes, I guess you would call them. Each had a short…

Yes He Does

A few days ago, I wrote this little blog about Father giving us signs. I was sharing that I do believe He gives us signs, and these last few days Father has solidified that belief. He has a way of letting His children know that He is working. I know, I know, I sound like…

A Little Break

Last night, I told my husband I might post a song in the little blog today. I feel like the last week or so, these little blogs have been pretty heavy. Admittedly, there have been some things going on that have aided in that. I just thought a little break in that heaviness was needed.…

When He’s Not There

A few weeks ago, I shared about a little Jesus that a friend gave to me, well, to many while we were at an event. You can read more about it in this little blog. Well, last week, while at the outing for the 65+ golf group I work with, I carried little Jesus around…
