Visiting Dad

We’re wrapping up the visit with my stepmom today, heading to Tampa to visit my dad. He is buried in the Florida National Cemetery there. It’s been a while since we have been there, last December for the Wreath’s Across America Event. My dad isn’t really there, just his human shell, I know that he…

But I Wanted

Recently I’ve been having conversations with friends about various events in their lives. One was in the middle of a deal to open her own business. Another was planning a lengthy trip. In each case, my friends had plans and hopes around what they were working on. One to work for herself in an industry…

Just Get Me Through

A friend and I were talking via text yesterday afternoon about the crazy schedules in our lives right now. It seems like we have just gotten up and before we know it the sun is setting, and the day has flown by. We’re juggling work, and home life, weekdays and weekends are filled, and the…

Father’s Timing

Yesterday I asked for prayers for a friend of mine who was helping her mother leave this world into life everlasting with Jesus. I shared Psalm 23 which is such a moving passage and has helped me through many a difficult time. Yesterday afternoon I got a text from my friend. It said, “Momma passed…

Little Blog Memory Lane

If you’ve been reading this little blog for very long, you know that I began writing it in place of the book I was going to write, (and still plan to write one day). Five years ago, (yes the dreaded 2020), I began posting bible verses on social media, just once a day at first.…

Father in the Pool

Yesterday in this little blog I shared that a group of friends had put together a surprise for a mutual friend/mentor of ours. We all have gathered here in SW Florida, some coming from as far away as California to spend time with a wonderful woman who has touched our lives. I think it’s safe…

Another Chicken

When our youngest was little, she and my husband used to run errands after work. They would stop by the bank, pick up a few things at the grocery store, or swing by Lowe’s to pick up something for the latest home project (the youngest really disliked that last stop). It almost became a game…

His Path

I’m still trying to get settled back into a routine now that we are home. It’s tough when not everything is back in place. We’re getting there but again, I’m still a little out of sorts. This morning as I talked with Father I found myself just asking for guidance. When things in this life…

Seeing Differently

Over the weekend my husband and I did some spring cleaning, so to speak. We moved back into our home after having some remodeling done. It took longer than we expected, which admittedly was frustrating, but we are back home now and getting settled. We spent the weekend putting things away, wiping down pictures, putting…

Wonderful Life

Over the weekend my brother sent a text to me with a note about a song he wanted me to listen to. The message is beautiful and one I think we all need. “This life ain’t always wonderful, but this life ain’t all there is”. The song has even more meaning for me. I can…
