Holy Forever

I don’t know about you, but I’m sure thankful that our Lord gives the gift of voice and song to so many of his children. Now, I don’t happen to be one of those gifted children, but hey, I don’t have a problem singing along in the car to those tunes that touch me. This…

Not Mine

I had an interesting slip of words this morning. Well, I don’t know whether it was a slip of words or if it was a correction. Let me explain. You have all heard me refer to this little blog, or the little blog. I really haven’t used the phrase my little blog. It’s funny because…

Today Is A Gift

Yes, yes it is. Of course, every day is a gift; we all know that. You all know that I love Saturday. It’s the one morning in the week when I catch a little more z’s and don’t have to rush out the door to work. We have a few things on our to-do list…

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…

The Race

One of my dearest friends passed away almost eight years ago after fighting a fierce battle with an ugly disease known as ALS. She fought that battle with grace, if that is possible with this disease. Not long after she was officially diagnosed, she asked a group of her friends to figure out a way…

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…

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…

Does God Give Signs

Interesting question, or maybe it isn’t. I guess it is what you choose to believe, like so many things with Father. I believe that Father does give us signs that He is not only here, but that He is actively involved. I have had conversations with people over the years, many of whom don’t feel…

I Choose You

I think I’ve mentioned here before that a friend of mine sends me an inspirational text each morning. He has been conducting a comprehensive study of the Anglican Catechism over the past few months. He’s broken it down piece by piece, in just short snippets. It really is perfect. Yesterday’s snippet was about prayer. I…
