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…

Guilty Resting

Yesterday my husband and I went to the office. Well, let me rephrase that, he went into the office and worked, I on the other hand sat out on the dock behind the church with a fishing pole in my hand 🙂 . One of the benefits of working at our church is the location. As I’ve mentioned…

Back with My Buddy

Last year I shared a story about becoming friends with a very handsome Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Toby. He’s the fur baby of one of our neighbors named Joe. You see, Joe lost his wife to cancer last year and Toby was very close to her. When Joe and Toby came back down for the season, Toby…

If it Helps…

Each morning and evening as I spend time with Father I make a point of praying for people by name. I pray for those who are facing health challenges, those who have lost loved ones, and those who are traveling, whatever the reason, I just make a point of naming them in my prayers. Father knows the…

What Would Happen If…

I guess that’s kind of a loaded question, isn’t it? What would happen if… I found myself thinking that when I was sitting with Father this morning. I thought about all the things going on in this world and couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if… For instance, what would happen if each of the nations involved…

Diggin In

I’ve made the commitment this year to read the bible, (yes I do that anyway), however, this year I want to read it like you do every other book, from front to back. Like many people, I tend to bounce around different books of the Bible, so reading it front to back will be a new…

Sometimes We Just Need…

Some days I think it’s best to just say little prayers. This morning when I was sitting on the patio, (in my sweatshirt, jeans and fuzzy slippers, yes it’s cold here), I was thinking about things I wanted, and needed to do today. Typical Saturday chores like going to the grocery store for instance come to mind. However,…

Be Still…

This morning I made my way out to my patio to spend time with Father. As I mentioned yesterday, I needed to get back to having a conversation with Him rather than just reciting prayers. My relationship with him has kind of been on “auto-pilot” for the past few weeks and that isn’t where it should be. I…
