Unsettled

I mentioned a few weeks ago that my husband and I are having some remodeling done in our home. Rather than live at home through the process, we chose to rent a place not far from our condo. We stop in daily on the way home to check on the progress. It’s been slower than…

Midweek Restart

Ah, the middle of the week. Have you ever wondered why they call it hump day? I’m not sure where it started but I guess I get it. Trudging up the hill of the week Monday and Tuesday, standing on top of that hill on Wednesday, then down the back side on Thursday and Friday.…

Pizza Rolls in Heaven

Yesterday was an anniversary. It’s hard to believe that my mom has been gone for 28 years now. It’s interesting how your inner self knows when these types of anniversaries come. You may not actively be aware of the date, but inside you are. Then, when you say the date out loud, you instantly remember…

Special Needs

A few weeks ago I shared in a couple of different little blogs the sadness and then happiness I felt while shopping at one of our local grocery stores. I was sad because of the behavior of one of the young adults working the checkout lane. He just seemed so put out by having to…

Time Change and a Prayer

Ahhh yes, the dreaded time change, the “spring forward one”… The night when you set five different alarms, and leave your microwave clock alone just to make sure your phone did change when it was supposed to. The night when you have one of your most restless nights sleep, checking the clock to make sure…

The Little Ones

It’s hard to believe but we are still doing some restoration work following Hurricane Milton last year. The delay has been the result of improvements we are making to improve the flood resiliency of our campus. For instance, replacing standard drywall, trim, and baseboards with PVC or essentially plastic versions. This allows us to remove…

Warmth of His Love

It’s a little chilly here in SW Florida this morning. Yesterday I commented on the coolness of the morning as I made my way outside to chat with Father. Well, today, even more so. So much so that I grabbed a little throw blanket to snuggle under 🙂 . I sat down and pulled the…

Feel My Love

This morning I made my way out to our lanai to have my morning conversation with Father. I was surprised at how cool it was, and there was a breeze, the trees were swaying. It felt a little like the last pieces of winter were trying to hold on, (well from a Florida view that…

Walking His Walk

Lent begins today with Ash Wednesday. Over the years, I’ve participated by giving up various things, such as chocolate, alcohol, meat, etc. I admit that giving up some of my loves—or should I say vices—made me stop and think about what Jesus went through during those 40 days in the desert. I gave up giving…

Standing Strong

I’m not sure about you, but I find that the closer I get in my relationship with Father, the more satan tries to destroy it. His ultimate goal, after all, is to separate the Lord from His children. Knowing that Father does not demand that we follow Him, giving us the choice to choose the…
