Sit with Me

Each day I make time when I wake up and right before I go to bed to have a chat with Father. I thank him for the gifts of the day, ask him for guidance as I begin the day, and lift some prayers for others who are in need. It really is a regrounding…

Waitin’ for the Babies

It’s springtime and we all know what that means, there are baby animals everywhere. My husband and I have been shewing away a pair of doves from our front door area for the last few weeks. The female is trying to build a nest and has been very stubborn about it. They finally gave up…

It’s America

Yesterday my husband and I took a ride to a farm about an hour from us. I’ve heard about it, and follow them on social media. Each day the owner does a check-in from the farm. She’ll show the chickens running around, the sheep, the cattle, you get the idea. Recently she has showcased the…

Weekend Wanderings

If you’ve been reading this little blog for very long you know that Saturday is my favorite day of the week. Well, ya I know, it’s a favorite day of the week for most people, for many obvious reasons. It’s typically a slower day for me and a day to get out and enjoy the…

Every Day is a New Day

I’m wrapping up what has been a wonderful few days with the seniors golf group I work with. At dinner last night it was fun to watch as people continued to be curious and learn more about each other. They learned about careers, families, and hobbies, (other than golf of course), and found connections to…

I’ve mentioned before in this little blog that I’m the executive director of a golf group of 65 and older players. The group is actually celebrating their 60th year as a club. They get together twice a year…

When God Has Other Plans

Last week, a friend of mine got terrible news about her mother-in-law. She had a stroke and the outlook was not good. We all watched for updates as she was in ICU and unresponsive. The news the doctors gave was she probably would not recover. If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you dread those words, the admission that the doctors…

Foundations

Last Friday I was at the gym for my usual morning class. I really like the instructor on Fridays. He makes a point of going around the room through the entire class, encouraging, correcting, adjusting, and suggesting ways to improve the techniques we are learning. Most of the people in my 6:00 a.m. class are…

“Joe” and the Gym

Yesterday morning I went to the gym as I usually do. It’s always fun trying to get a parking space as there is a class before mine. I had to park a little further away than usual, and I noticed that there was someone in the car across from me. I hopped out of the…

Hearing or Listening

Lately, I’ve been praying about some things that I truly have no control over. Isn’t that when challenges seem the greatest when we have no control over them? We want to just fix things, we want to just make things better, but at the end of the day, we really do have to just give…
