Rose Sunday
One week from today is Christmas Eve. I know, if you are like me you are not quite sure where the entire year went, much less December. Today though, we celebrate Rose Sunday, or the third Sunday in Advent. We, like many, have an advent wreath displayed in our home. There is one pink candle among the three…

Keep in Touch
Last night we had dinner with our Godson. He moved to Tampa several years ago so we, even after all these years, aren’t that far apart. We try to see each other serval times a year, especially near Christmas. I shared the story about us becoming his Godparents in this little blog earlier this year. It was…

Happy weekend friends! During this busy time as we near Christmas, I wanted to leave you with a short prayer and a short song to begin your day. This is just a wonderful piece of music for the season. Heavenly Father, thank you for this day, another day to share your love and do your…

What’s Your Favorite
I mentioned yesterday the plans we have for Thanksgiving. We’re making lunch for kids at Youth Haven, a shelter for abused kids and teens. Part of the process is making sure we bring food that the kids like. We make lists of what worked well last year and tweak each year. Of course, we have…

Gotta Keep it Separate
Sometimes it’s not easy to leave work “at the office”. It’s even more difficult when you work with your spouse. My husband and I work together at our church, and it’s been an adjustment. We’ve actually come full circle, you see my husband and I met almost 40 years ago when we were both working…

When Words Elude
There are days, as I’ve said before, when I come to this little blog with thoughts of what to share, only to begin typing and they don’t really seem to come together. I find that happens usually when I’m tired, and this morning would be one of those mornings. It was a very busy weekend…

Keep Going
This morning something rare happened, I actually had to wake up to my alarm going off. Most mornings, either my husband or I wake up way before and we are getting the morning started. Not so this morning. Now granted we got to bed later than usual so that had something to do with being…
