What If

About a month ago, in this little blog, I shared a conversation I had with my husband. He was telling me about how he prays for satan. Yes, you heard that right. It is such an interesting perspective, and over the past month, since writing that little blog, I’ve been thinking a lot about the…

Make the Date

A few nights ago, as my husband and I were making dinner, we chatted about how it was getting dark earlier 😦 . Ugh, I don’t like this time of year, not just because it gets dark early, but also because it’s harder to see the sunset from our windows now. At any rate, we…

Back to Personal

I’m fortunate to be of an age where many of my friends still write, yes handwrite, thank you notes. We all still send real birthday cards, not e-cards. We send hand-addressed and signed Christmas cards. Yes, I love that so many still hold to this practice. It’s personal, and it shows that you took the…

Wrote It Yesterday?

You all know that I speak with Father every morning, and part of our conversation is to discuss what message I can share here on this little blog. I usually ask if there is something in particular He wants me to share. Some mornings that message comes to me clearly, other mornings not so much.…

Gloomy Day?

Here in SW Florida, we are in the final stretch of our rainy season, and dare I say it, hurricane season, shhh… About another 6 weeks or so, and we’ll be on the other side of it. We’re going to keep praying that things stay status quo in the hurricane department 🙂 . Sorry, I…

The Friends

I’m so fortunate to have wonderful friends. My “circle” isn’t huge, but those that I consider close friends are more like family to me 🙂 . I’m guessing I’m not alone in that regard; you all are blessed in that way, too. This morning, as I was thinking about my friends and smiling to myself…

It’s Ok to Hurt

Over the past several weeks, if you’ve been following this blog, you’re aware that our family has been going through a difficult time. However, I have friends who, in turn, are going through difficulties. I know many out there are struggling, facing challenges, and feel lost or alone. A few nights ago, I found myself…

The Christmas Effect

I’ve never been a fan of seeing Christmas items in the stores starting in August. I’m a believer that Thanksgiving is such an important Holiday and one that deserves respect, and I don’t like that we kind of just skip over it and go right to Christmas. Now, having said that, I do love the…

Don’t Doubt

A few days ago, following the funeral of my brother-in-law, several family members went to spend time at their family’s farmland. My sister-in-law owns a large portion of the wooded area that is simply beautiful. We used to spend many a Thanksgiving weekend celebrating the Rally of the Clan on this land. We’d have a…

Gathering

Why does it take an event for us to gather with family and friends? Over the past weeks, we’ve spent time with family, many of whom we haven’t seen in a very long time. Today, we will spend even more time together as one. While I’m sad about the reason for our coming together, I…
