Restored

I shared several weeks ago that my husband and I were having a piece of furniture restored. It was my mother-in-law’s secretary desk. We aren’t quite sure but we believe it was actually her mother’s before that. We asked the man who restored it if he could tell how old it was. He commented that…

Santa Needs Prayers

Friends, this morning I’m coming to you to ask for prayers. You see one of the nicest men I’ve had the pleasure of knowing is having heart surgery today. Yes, as the title of this little blog implies, he’s Santa. Well, his name is Paul, but he’s Santa to those of us who know him.…

Forgiveness Starts in the Mirror

I come to this little blog often sharing words about forgiveness. We all know that Father has asked that we not only love others as He loved us, but He also asks us to forgive others as He forgives us. Let’s face it, we make mistakes, we disappoint, we screw up, simply put, we are human. Do you…

When You Don’t Have Words

I’m sure we’ve all been in those situations when a family member, friend, or coworker tells you something and you just don’t have words to respond. You hear sad news, or an unbelievable story, someone says something mean, you get what I’m saying, the words you hear just leave you speechless. What happens when you just don’t…

It Spreads – Prayer Does

Yesterday as the news broke about the passing of Toby Keith, as we usually do, we began to see posts on social media sending condolences to the family, and lifting of prayers for comfort.

What Would Happen If…

I guess that’s kind of a loaded question, isn’t it? What would happen if… I found myself thinking that when I was sitting with Father this morning. I thought about all the things going on in this world and couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if… For instance, what would happen if each of the nations involved…

A Short Time Here

Yesterday was a busy day, like most these days. I was bouncing from one thing to another, lots of people coming and going in the office, several meetings going on, you get the idea. Toss in a few challenges like the copier not working as we’re printing a brochure for an event, or computer issues with the…

Reflections & Commitments

Back at this little blog this morning. The holiday break was nice and as I type this morning I find myself reflecting back on these past days. Our youngest was in town for Christmas and we enjoyed shopping, gaming, eating, and the traditional building of the Lego set. We joked about how some of the funny things that…

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…

When the Memory Fades

Lately, I’ve been thinking about my Father-in-Law. He passed away many years ago having battled Alzheimer’s for many, many years. The anniversary of his death is coming up in a few days and maybe that’s why he’s been on my mind. We also spent some time with family last weekend and to say his genes…
