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,…

Celebrate Prayer

Yes, I think we should…celebrate prayer that is. I guess that seems kind of odd to say, let’s celebrate prayer. Well, I don’t know why we wouldn’t, because you know, it’s a pretty amazing thing. The power of prayer is real, and it’s a force to be reckoned with. Over the past few weeks, I’ve…

Community of Faith

When I started this little blog three years ago, I thought it would be a nice way to share some great pictures of sunrises and sunsets along with a scripture verse. It was meant to be a way to just say thanks to Father for the many gifts He provides every day. Now here I…

Advent Boost

With Thanksgiving falling late this year, there really isn’t time to breathe before we move right into Advent. Well, that’s what we did, we moved right into Advent. It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just three weeks away. Today, I’m feeling rushed, still catching up from being out of the office last week, still…

Every Day Is Thanksgiving

Well, let the Thanksgiving prep begin. Here we are, Thanksgiving Eve, and I’ve already seen on social media, friends who are filling the fridge with homemade cranberry sauce, coconut cakes, gravy, and the like. I can almost smell the deliciousness of them all. I, too, will be in the kitchen today, after I brave the…

It’s Just

If you’ve read the last few blog posts, you know that we’re heading to spend Thanksgiving with our family up north. We’re making the drive, and admittedly, it’s not the most fun, but we’ve had a good time chatting and playing some remember when. We snuck in a lunch with our Godson yesterday on the…

He Has Other Plans

This morning, I got another reminder that I really am not in control. Newsflash, I really do need to remember that, it makes for easier days 🙂 . Last week at work, our IT company did a security update to our system, including our email system. We have to have all the necessary processes in…

Preparations

Our youngest came into town yesterday. She’s helping her folks make the drive back home for the holiday. Wow, did I really say that? I’m not old, you’re old 🙂 . Actually, I admit, having her here to help with some final preparations before we leave is a relief. I might have made a little…

Let it Flow

Did your mind go right to the song from the movie, “Frozen”? You know the “Let it Go” song. Oops, sorry; now you will probably have that song in your head for the rest of the day. Totally not intended. As I was thinking about this little blog today, I was also thinking about all…
