Take A Moment

There are many special gifts in this world. I invite you for a moment to think about the special gifts in your life. Now, take a moment and openly say, “Thank you Lord for the gift of ____and____and____“. Feel free to add to the list. It’s important that we give thanks every day for the…

Celebrate the Special

In this life, there are so many blessings. Sometimes I think that phrase gets overused. Can it really, though? I think of a few friends I have that when I ask, “How are you?”, they respond, “I’m blessed, truly blessed”. It’s true, we all have blessings in our lives that we need to be thankful…

Their Day

We’ve all seen the various “days” that are recognized. You know what I mean, it’s National Hot Dog Day, National Ice Cream Day, National Sibling Day, etc. While those might be fun to recognize, I have to admit, I feel we’ve gone a little too far. There will come a point when people tune out…

Love Packed In

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that my husband and I work in our church office. It’s a blast from the past because we actually met many years ago, when, wait for itβ¦we worked together π . Anyway, our church is in what they call Old Naples. It’s a very…

Make the Date

A few nights ago, as my husband and I were making dinner, we chatted about how it was getting dark earlier π¦ . 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…
