The Carol of Our Father

We have an unspoken rule in our house that we don’t listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Now granted, usually first thing the next day I’ve got our favorite carols playing. It’s always enjoyable when that one song comes on and I’m like, “Ah, I love this one!”. Over the past few years, I’ve…

Broken Angel

We spent some time this weekend putting up the Christmas decor. Like many in SW Florida, our decorations are kept in a storage unit as these keepsakes would not do well stored in the summer heat of our garage. Judging by the “traffic” at the unit, we weren’t the only ones decorating this weekend. We all laughed…

Being Quiet Is the Hardest

I wonder how many of you are like me. Well that question could go in a couple of different directions couldn’t it? What I mean is, how many of you have a hard time just listening for the answer to prayers? Sometimes I feel like I’m trying too hard to hear what Father may be…

Prayers for Healing

Friends, you are always so wonderful to offer prayers when I come here to this little blog and request them. Well today would be one of those times. Out of respect for the individual who shared information with me, I won’t give much of the details. I have a friend whose father-in-law is having health…

It’s His Day & I’m Blessed

Today is my husband’s birthday. He’s been up north the past few days visiting friends, (a good friend turned 80 last week), and family. He’s heading home today and I’m looking forward to having him back. As I sat down to write this little blog this morning asking Father what message I could share, I…
