A Price
I’ve shared with you all before that sometimes I come to this little blog and don’t have a clue what I’m going to say. Father usually gives me a boost, and everything falls into place. Well, this morning I had just the opposite issue. I have several thoughts that I’d like to share, and I’m…

The Sand Dollar
A friend of mine gave me a little gift over the weekend. I didn’t get a chance to open it until yesterday, and when I did, I was curious. Inside was a plastic bag with three sand dollars in it. Two of them were a good size, and the third was just a small one.…

Share a Little Jesus
A few months ago, I shared here in this little blog about a “Little Jesus” that a friend had given me. Over the course of several weeks after receiving Him, I started to see these little figures in various places, restaurants, stores, even at the car rental counter in the airport! I began carrying mine…

In the Midst of Advent
This is the third Sunday of Advent. It’s known as Rose Sunday. If you have an Advent wreath, this is the Sunday that we light the pink candle. Rose Sunday is when we take a little break from the somberness of Advent to enjoy the excitement of the coming of the Baby Jesus. I read…

Dual Meaning
One of my favorite Christmas songs is Believe sung by Josh Groban. This is the title song for the movie Polar Express. I’m sure you are all familiar with the plot. A young boy has come to that sad point where he no longer believes in Santa, or at least he’s close to it. The…

The Trees & The Memories
Yesterday, some wonderful volunteers at our church came in to help decorate the Christmas tree that fills our parish hall with such warmth. Another longtime parishioner donated a lifetime’s worth of ornaments to the church several years ago. There are hundreds of ornaments from all over the world. From large, small, plain-colored balls to intricate…

It’s Not About…
I was thinking about this little blog this morning. It was one of those mornings when I was struggling a bit about what to share. Even my morning check-in with Father didn’t really yield a message, which is unusual. However, throughout the morning, my mind keeps returning to a situation from yesterday. I don’t want…

Adopted Grandmas
I had a wonderful conversation yesterday. I came here last week to ask for prayers for little baby Briggs, the grandson of a friend of mine. And…pray you did. Briggs’ grandmother has been keeping me updated. He had a little setback last week, but the medical team assured the family that he was doing well.…

The Manger Revisited
This morning I found myself thinking about the manger where baby Jesus lay. I think it’s because yesterday I listened to the Christmas song, “Joseph’s Lullaby”. If you’ve never heard it, I encourage you to give a listen today. It’s a beautiful song, and it puts you in the manger, or at least it did…

Concentration
Saturday, yep, you all know it, my favorite day, and during the holiday season, I love having the special traditions to focus on. This weekend is traditionally when our family gets the tree and decorates our home. We’ll be tackling that task for certain 🙂 . It’s also Cookie Sunday at church, where the kids,…
