You Remember

Children are the greatest and most precious gift that Father gives to us. They are to be cherished, loved, and protected above all else. If you are a parent, especially a mom like me, you remember pretty much every detail of when you gave birth to your children. It’s funny, I can’t remember some things…

Trust and Simplicity

I’ve shared with you all that there are days when I sit down at this little blog and I’m not quite sure what to share or write. I find that if I’m patient and truly turn it over to Father, then something will settle in. This morning was one of those times when I wasn’t…

Tulips in Winter

Now there’s an interesting title for this little blog. Yesterday while grocery shopping I stopped in the floral section. It’s right inside the front door and it’s fun to look for things that might brighten up the home, especially in winter. I love to have fresh flowers around the house, it just makes things “homier”.…

Prayer Works

You know it really does. Prayer works. I think there are times when we feel our prayers are not being answered. We don’t see an instant response from Father so we assume He’s not listening or He’s choosing not to answer our prayer. Trust me, I’ve been there. What I’ve learned over time though, especially…

When the Heart Is Heavy

Even though we have a relationship with Christ, share everything with Him, and give ourselves fully to Him, that doesn’t mean there won’t be times when we are sad. We are human, and Father doesn’t expect us not to have emotions. Today friends, my heart is heavy. I have a friend, (I won’t share their…

Overwhelmed – It’s Ok

Do you ever have those days when you have so much to do you simply don’t know where to start? I’ve had a few of those lately. I’ve even mentioned in this little blog that just the other day I had to implore Father to help clear my mind before I could even pray. Now…

Comfort in a Psalm

Over the last few days, like most everyone, I’ve been seeing the news reports about the fires in California. When I heard that the winds were hurricane force and the fires are 0% uncontained, my heart was heavy. We know hurricane force winds here in Florida, but ours usually come with lots of water, I…

A Clear Mind

You all know that I sit on my lanai (Florida term for patio) each morning and evening and spend time with Father. We have a small lake behind us with a fountain that runs during waking hours, usually 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. The fountain helps to lessen the volume of residents who may be…

The Quiet Work

Last night my husband and I spent much time in the kitchen. We stopped by the store on the way home so we were a little later than usual with our dinner routine. We usually find ourselves working side by side in the kitchen making dinner, chatting about the kids, upcoming things on our calendar,…

Tough Love

We’re beginning the first full week of the new year. So I guess you could say we are officially in 2025. Last week in this little blog I talked about New Year resolutions versus commitments. I mentioned that I wasn’t making any resolutions, but instead, I’m making commitments as they are more binding in my…
