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.

A Classic for a Sunday

Thoughts From the Pedicure Chair

It’s the weekend and you all know this little blog usually comes out later in the morning. I tend to sleep in a bit, grab coffee, and enjoy a little longer time with Father before sitting down to share thoughts. Well, this morning I had an early appointment for a little pampering. So, I was…

Step Away and Into Me

I had gotten into a routine in 2024 where I only looked at social media once per day. I would glance at it in the morning to catch up with the happenings of friends and family, wish happy birthdays, or catch a glimpse of some news headlines. Over the past month though, I’ve slid back…

Resolution or Commitment

It’s a new year and with that comes all those New Year’s resolutions. You know those decisions we make to do or not do something for the year. The start of the new year brings new hope, a chance for a fresh start, an opportunity to do things differently. If you are like me, you’ve…

Reflections on 2024

I guess it’s pretty common to reflect on the year as it comes to a close. Or do we really reflect on what has happened? I think most of the time, we all just look forward to a new year ahead, a new beginning, and a chance for things to be different. Many times we,…

The Recipes & Memories

I’ve gotten into a little routine with our youngest daughter. We text each other pretty regularly around dinner time, sharing what we’re making for dinner. I’ll also ask her opinion on a particular spice she might use or how she would doctor up a certain dish. Last night my husband and I realized we hadn’t…
