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…

Kindness Carries

I’ve been recalling some instances that occurred while driving home from visiting family this past weekend. Those recollections give me hope, and help me to understand even more how Father is truly in our midst, guiding His children. My husband and I are a little older than when we used to make those “straight drive-through”…

Midweek Ho-Hums

Fun title for this little blog this morning don’t ya think? Isn’t it true though, we get to the middle of the week and if you’re like me, it’s easy for fatigue to set in. I’m dragging a bit this morning and there are still several days left in this work week. I have to…

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…

The Lights

Last night, or should I say early this morning much of our country saw what was perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime sight, the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. Even way down here in SW Florida, there are pictures of the most dazzling pink and purple sky at midnight. In other pictures I’ve seen from…

See with Your Heart

There are times in our lives when things happen and leaning on faith is truly what will get you through. Maybe that was kind of like a “duh” statement. I pretty much share that message every day here in this little blog. When I think about the time when Jesus was alive, the people who…

We Know Better

Now where might I be going with the title of today’s little blog? It’s actually going to be a pretty short one today. It’s very simple, I don’t know better than Father what is going to happen in this life. He and only He knows how my life will play out. Yes, I have control…
