Above All
Sometimes you find a simple song that just says it all and touches you when you need it. I like to think that is Father dropping in like He usually does when we need Him. I’ve shared before that I don’t have any musical talent, I can’t carry a tune in a bucket, and reading…

His Presence
As you all know, I have a pretty solid routine of sitting with Father each morning and evening. I sit out on our lanai regardless of the temperature and humidity and just enjoy being there with Him. Early in the morning, the birds are just starting to stir and I feel His presence through them.…

Forgive and Forget?
It’s an old phrase that, as I’ve read, dates as far back as the 1600’s. It didn’t actually begin as forgive and forget, it was first quoted as “Let us forget and forgive injuries.” Shakespeare also used the phrase in King Lear, “Pray you now, forget and forgive”. I’m not sure when the phrase was…

Mopping…ugh – Or was It?
I’m guessing I’m not unlike many people in that housework is one of my least favorite things to do. Now granted, it’s just my husband and I, so admittedly our house is pretty tidy most of the time. My office occasionally looks like the Tasmanian devil ripped through it, especially if I’m planning an event,…

Let Father Have It
It’s funny how we humans think sometimes? I know that is kind of an open-ended and even loaded question. Let me be a little more specific. We think we can control so much, and have so much under control. One of these days we really will, or at least I will, come to the realization…

The Garden
The past few weeks I’ve been enjoying watching the updates from friends and family as they plant their gardens. For many, it’s actually their first time putting in a garden, and it’s been fun to watch their excitement grow as their crop grows. Many of my friends are starting gardens for the first time with…

From NICU to New Graduate
We all know how quickly time seems to fly by, especially these days. I remember as a kid just wishing my hardest for Friday to come so we could have the weekend off from school, and wishing for the school year to end so we could have the summer to play with friends. Now, I…

Strawberries and Trust
This weekend is our second annual strawberry shortcake event at church to celebrate Pentecost, (the celebration of when the Holy Spirit descends upon the Apostles). Last year was our first in making the shortcakes by hand and serving this classic treat during our coffee hours following each service. It was a hit and we’re back…

The Birds of Hope
If you follow this little blog, you know that each morning and evening, I spend some quality time with Father on my lanai, (patio). The mornings are different because it’s usually very quiet, the fountain in our lake is off, there are not many lights on in the neighborhood, and maybe an occasional cricket chirping…

A Day in the Glades
My husband and I have been trying to spend a little more time discovering the scenic spots around us. Yesterday we took a road trip to the Everglades. Just a little over an hour away is a bounty of beauty found in several Florida National Parks. We took the 27-mile ride on Loop Road in…
