A Prayer of Love

I’ve mentioned here in this little blog before that I have a dear friend who sends a scripture reading to me each day. Throughout this Advent season those readings and reflections have focused on the birth of the Christ child. This morning he sent me a beautiful prayer for this Fourth Sunday of Advent, and…

There Are No Words

This life is so precious and so short. There are no words to explain the gift of life that is given to us by Father. It’s priceless, the bond between family, and often it is so taken for granted. Yesterday morning I was doing some work before my meetings here in South Carolina. My phone…

Walking in the Past

Last night we went to a small holiday gathering at a friend’s home. Just a few friends enjoying a beverage, nosh, and some Christmas cheer. It was a lovely evening, the food was wonderful and the conversation was lively. We all shared our plans for Christmas and it was fun to hear how everyone would…

Christmas Memories

Something has struck me recently, just over the last few weeks. I have noticed on social media that people are playing a little remember when. It seems to me like this is occurring more this year than in past years, or maybe I’m just noticing it more. I see old pictures of past Christmas’, families…

Mary’s Song of Praise

A friend of mine sends me a scripture reading and reflection each morning. These last few weeks before Christmas, he has been focusing his reflections on the season of Advent, of course. They have been helping me to take time each morning, slow down just a bit, and truly reflect on the preparation for the…

We decorate our disaster recovery vehicles, the rescue boat, airboat, 4-wheeler, and such. We’re all decked out in our red Marco Patriot shirts, and volunteers walk alongside…

Lessons from Painters

This is the same small business that painted the church a few weeks ago and I really liked them then. It’s just one man maybe in his late…

From Why to All Will Be Well

We are all faced with challenges at times in our lives. Well, now there is a very “duh” kind of statement, right? Sometimes those challenges come in a slow build-up, sometimes they come totally out of the blue and blindside us. Regardless, they come and many times we are left just asking why. I have…

For the Lord to Come

During Advent and Lent I change my routine a little. I tend to look for prayers that are specific to these seasons. I like reading a variety of prayers that help me reflect on the season at hand. They help me slow down and remember why we recognize and celebrate these special times. Life gets…

Share You

So you all know that each morning I have a little pow-wow with Father. I spend the time on my lanai (Florida term for patio), in the quiet to sit and start my day in conversation with Him. It’s my favorite part of the day because it’s still dark, (at least at this time of…
