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…

The Transformation

We are fortunate at our church to work with a local florist. He has been with us forever and supplies the flowers for the altar each Sunday. He also provides the decorations for the Christmas and Easter celebrations. Yesterday was the day that we transformed the church from Advent Season to Christmas and it was…

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…

Mother Mary

After yesterday’s little blog post, I felt the need to share a song of hope. It’s one of my favorite Christmas songs, although I don’t think it should only be heard at this time of the year. This song speaks to Mary directly and asks the simple question, “Mary did you know?”. I can’t help…

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…

No Strangers

Yesterday, I hit the road. Oh, there are a few meanings there 🙂 . I made the drive to Daufuskie Island, SC, to visit Haig Point. It’s a beautiful little community that you can only get to by ferry. Once on the island, you can only move around by foot or by golf cart. To…

The Sounds of a Parade

Last night my husband and I participated in the Christmas parade in our happy place, Marco Island. This is our fourth year helping with the Marco Patriots “floats”. 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

I was so excited yesterday. Our office repairs are almost completed following Hurricane Milton’s damage. The painters were in yesterday finishing the last painting, including my office. 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…

Ya, We’re Close Enough

My husband and I were talking at dinner last night, trying to nail down things we needed to get done this weekend. It’s a busy weekend on tap and we’re trying to squeeze in Christmas shopping. You know how it goes, if you’re going to get gifts where they need to be, you gotta get…
