A Weekend of Support

Today is a busy day and one that provides so many opportunities to help others. Our church is holding one of its big community sales. Our thrift store, just recently restored from hurricane Milton, has been feverishly collecting “gently used” items from parishioners and other donors over the past weeks. Baby cribs to jewelry, housewares…

Be Silent

A friend of mine posted something on social media yesterday that caught my attention. I have to admit, I don’t go there much. I post this little blog each morning, wish friends happy birthdays, and pop in later in the evening, usually looking for sunset pictures 🙂 . However, yesterday, her post made me stop…

The Beauty of Nothing

Well is that an interesting title to this little blog this morning? It came to me as I was having my morning chat with Father. You all know that there are many a morning when I ask Him for guidance on what to share here. This morning as I asked my usual question of what…

When Music Comes to Life

Last night, my husband and I had a date night. We went to see one of my favorite groups, Mercy Me, in concert. We’ve seen them before, many years ago, and I was just as excited to see them this time. We were supposed to see them last October, but Hurricane Milton forced them to…

The Power of Me

I feel pretty blessed for many, many reasons. I’ve got a wonderful husband, beautiful kids, grandkids, and friends that have become like family. I get to live in what we call paradise, and most importantly, I’m blessed with a loving relationship with Father. When I think about His children who don’t know Him, who don’t…

Unknown Laughter

Yesterday during our weekly team meeting we had a little fun with our Rector. Yes, it was April Fool’s Day, and though I’m usually not a fan of jokes commemorating this day, one of my team members had put some thought into one that was harmless. For the approximately two minutes it took for the…

He Brings Us Back

Yesterday morning I was bustling around trying to get out the door for my workout and then on to an appointment from there. Leaving the gym to work or other appointments has its challenges. I have to pack a bag to shower there, which means packing toiletries, towel, yada, yada, and invariably I forget something.…

Coming to You

Ah, the joys of writing this little blog. I love sharing thoughts here each day, having Father fill me with whatever ends up here. Sometimes it overflows and I have to force myself to stop so people don’t feel like they are reading a novel. Other times just simple thoughts come to mind. As I…

Saturday Afternoon

Yesterday in this little blog I talked about our lives belonging to Father, that this life is about Him not about me. This life is a gift and all the things we share while here, also…gifts from God. Those include family and friends. At the end of yesterday’s little blog, I encouraged everyone to get…

Opening and Closing Doors

I’ve shared here in previous little blogs that I have a close friend, a priest, who shares a scripture reading and morning reflection each day with me. I’ve come to start my day with these, even before I have my morning chat with Father. I time things so that I can read the message from the…
