A Prayer for 2024

Happy 2024 friends. As we begin a new year with so many new opportunities I wanted to share this prayer that Billy Graham offered back in 2008, printed in the Saturday Evening Post. As I read it this morning, all I can say is it is so beautiful, timeless, and perfect for today, I just had to…

Just So

Yesterday afternoon my husband and I hauled over the last of the Christmas items in storage. With each tub that was opened, another area of our home was looking like Christmas. I took the lid off a tub and found the little tree that we bought last year when we traveled back north. We had…

Forgiveness

It’s an easy word to say, it’s sometimes a difficult process to accomplish. When I talk with Father daily I ask him to forgive me of my sins, the things I’ve done, or not done, the thoughts I’ve had or the things I’ve said, or not said, etc. I ask Him to help me every…

Collections

Many years ago, I don’t even remember what year it started, let’s just say that long ago, while we were Christmas shopping, we saw this cute Santa among the decor displays. My husband commented on how peaceful his eyes were. We bought that Santa those many years ago, little did I know at the time…

Keep Asking

A long-time friend is visiting for a few days. He arrived late yesterday afternoon and we spent some time hearing about his drive down. He had stopped in Sarasota at the Ringling Brothers museum, (a place I really need to get to), and it was fascinating hearing about this family. I have memories of attending…

The Real Thing

I’ve never been much of a fan of Halloween, even when I was a kid it wasn’t a favorite. I really began to dislike it when the costumes got to be so gory and creepy, nah it’s not for me. But I think more than the over-the-top scary movie-type costumes, it’s the whole dressing up…

Turnin’ Back Time

If you are like me you think back on times when you probably didn’t make the best decisions in your life. Oh, ya I had some doozies. I found myself this morning wondering how my life might have been if those decisions oh so long ago were different. I reminded myself, we can’t go backward…

Sit and Be

I’m in the middle of a very large project at work. There are a lot of moving parts and some pretty tight deadlines but it’s coming together. Yesterday was a day where I was in full git ‘r done mode. I was moving through this project when a wrench got tossed in. We’ve all been…
