Give Up Giving Up

Many years ago, when we still lived up north, the Priest at our church had an answer to “Father, what are you giving up for Lent?”. He would always say, “I’m giving up giving up”. I used to think that was his polite way of saying that he wasn’t giving up anything for Lent. Well,…

Sticking To It

Yep, that’s what I’m doing today. One of my first 2026 posts in this little blog was about taking the time to work on the paint-by-number that I purchased at Christmas back in 2020. Yes, five years ago, and I haven’t come close to finishing it. This is the year that I do. I encouraged…

One of Ten

I’ve shared here before that I receive a daily devotional text from a friend of mine who is a priest. He is taking us through the Ten Commandments right now, and I’ve been learning a great deal from his messages. Yes, I know these ten simple rules that Father asked us to follow. However, digging…

The Shadows

This week I’ve been walking before I write this little blog. It’s been interesting as I get into this new routine. First, I must say, I’m enjoying getting my body and mind going before I come here to share. I spend my time with Father first thing, read the inspiration my friend sends to me,…

Getting Through

Over the past few days, I’ve been thinking about difficult things that have happened to people. Some I don’t even know. I shared a few days ago the story of a young 4-year-old boy who went missing on New Year’s Eve day. Unfortunately, they found his body a day or so later. Of course, I…

Well, I think I could probably just end this little blog post with the title and a scripture verse and call it done for the day 🙂 . I think I’ve shared here before that each morning when I sit down to write this little blog, I generally have an idea of what I want…

Challenge or Opportunity

I was listening to a podcast this morning while walking. The co-hosts were discussing fitness, and one of the important pieces they focused on was dealing with stress. We all know that stress in our lives is not a good thing, and how we handle it really does play a part in our overall health.…

Listen to the Happy

I’ve noticed that as I’ve grown older, and more importantly, as I’ve deepened my relationship with Father, my taste in music has changed. I find myself listening to more Christian music because the message resonates with me more. Don’t get me wrong, I still have the old playlists that I pull out occasionally. I love…

God Restores

Today we’re going to spend the day putting away Christmas. Even though there are still a few days of those 12 days of Christmas remaining, we don’t have to have the decorations up to celebrate them. I must admit, there is a feeling of newness when we get everything put nicely away, do a little…

Paint the Picture

Yesterday, we kicked off 2026, and I have to say we truly enjoyed the day. We slept in, made breakfast, and then relaxed with projects. One of the gifts I got for my husband for Christmas was the Lego Bronco, which has some pretty cool features, I might add. He parked himself at the kitchen…
