The Power of One – Not

If you’re like me it’s not really in your dna to ask for assistance. I’m a pretty resourceful person, I always say, I have an ops brain, meaning I like to solve problems. I can look at a situation, analyze it pretty quickly and my brain kicks in to how to best handle things. I’m…

Birthday Prayer “Again”…

I think I’ve shared in this little blog before the story of the birthday prayer. We had a dear friend, one who became a father figure to me, later in my life, after my dad had passed away. John was a father figure to many in our group of friends. He was not only one…

God Loves You

I guess that just about says it all, doesn’t it? I’m not sure I need to say much more in this little blog today. 🙂 Seriously, though, as I sat on the lanai this morning spending my quiet time with Father, I asked what I could share about Him today. Those three words popped immediately…

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…
