Can it Be Said Too Much

I guess it just depends on what you are talking about, whether you can say things too much I mean. If you’re married, you probably can relate to this, the many times my husband will ask me to stop “nagging” him about something 🙂 . I don’t consider it nagging, I’m just reminding, right? While I was…

Unbelievable… Believe

Many times in this life there are things that happen and you just think to yourself, unbelievable. Yesterday was one of those times for sure. My husband got a phone call around 4:00 pm from a friend asking if he’d heard what happened. He was calling to let him know that traffic was going to be terrible…

Recenter

It’s one of those mornings when I’m unsure where to start this little blog. There has been a lot going on this week, it’s been busy, and I don’t feel like I’ve gotten as much done as I’d like. My mind is bouncing to all the things I need to do and as I sat with Father…

When You Don’t Have Words

I’m sure we’ve all been in those situations when a family member, friend, or coworker tells you something and you just don’t have words to respond. You hear sad news, or an unbelievable story, someone says something mean, you get what I’m saying, the words you hear just leave you speechless. What happens when you just don’t…

It Spreads – Prayer Does

Yesterday as the news broke about the passing of Toby Keith, as we usually do, we began to see posts on social media sending condolences to the family, and lifting of prayers for comfort. What struck me yesterday though, I witnessed much more than those words of comfort. I saw prayers lifted and spreading to others. I’m…

Sunrises and Market”ing”

I woke up early this morning. Big deal you say. Well, if you’ve read this little blog much, you know that I usually like to sleep in a bit on Saturdays. This morning though I’m heading out to our local farmer’s market. We’ve lived here many years and I’ve yet to go to it. Yes, in Florida, especially SW Florida,…

Always a Parent

I remember when our kids were small, they would come to me or my husband when they got hurt or felt sick. I realize this is not something overly special just for us, all kids do that. Their first instinct is to go to where they feel safe, they go to a place of trust, and that…

Restore and Remember

We have several antique pieces of furniture in our home. These pieces belonged to my in-laws, and actually perhaps even their parents. We are having one of the pieces restored, actually dropping it off today with a man passionate about restoring pieces to their original beauty. Our goal is to make our way through all four of the…

Father First

It might be a short little blog this morning. You see I found myself on the lanai with Father a little longer. This morning it just felt good, well even better than other days, it felt good to just sit and be in conversation with Him. I guess as our relationship with God strengthens, actually a better word…

Yes You Can

Over the past few days, I’ve been dealing with a few challenges. I do believe that Father puts us in certain situations because He has a plan, He and He alone knows what we need more than we do. I believe He places us in the middle of things to make a difference, for either us to…
