We Still Surprise

I’ve mentioned our annual Christmas Market in this little blog over the last few months. It’s a big event at our church, taking place this weekend, and I’m head of our “Gourmet Canners”. If you had told me five years ago that I would be heading a canning committee at church I probably would have…

Imagining

For the first time in many months, my husband and I were able to catch a sunset from the beach last night. I know, those of you who don’t live near the water are thinking, “Oh how sad it’s been months since you saw a sunset from the beach”. However, when you live near a…

We Can Indeed

Yesterday our team of gourmet canners finished up our 2023 inventory. Heavenly Fruited Rice and Savory Spiced Nuts rounded out the selections for this year. We are pretty well set for next week’s Christmas Market. A big shout out to the team of ladies who helped make product, label, count, and just be here to…

Staying Connected

Last night while my husband and I were cooking dinner my phone rang. It was our granddaughter and when I answered I put it on speakerphone so we could both chat with her. She was calling to let us know she had just found out she was selected for a new part-time job she had…

Finding, Healing, Praying

A few days ago in this little blog, I shared a story about a local elderly woman with dementia, she had wandered off and gone missing. The community has come together to search for her, and more importantly, has come together to pray and ask Father to guide the search. Well, I’m happy to report…

As We Grow

Residents sign up to host it, which means decorating as you choose or don’t decorate, setting out the silverware and plates, and setting up the area for beverages. Everyone brings a dish to share and whatever they want to drink. Most people bring enough beverages…

When the Memory Fades

Lately, I’ve been thinking about my Father-in-Law. He passed away many years ago having battled Alzheimer’s for many, many years. The anniversary of his death is coming up in a few days and maybe that’s why he’s been on my mind. We also spent some time with family last weekend and to say his genes…

A Day of Prayer

As everyone knows the news this week has gotten considerably more distressing. The events in the Middle East are escalating and the “chatter” intensifying. There are groups calling for violence today, October 13th, Friday the 13th. I don’t think that is a coincidence, a day that is associated with darkness. Our world is a scary…

Unspoken Love

I’ve been thinking a lot about my parents lately. Not quite sure why, but I found myself thinking about them again last night and even had some memories of a favorite uncle. You see each of them had a huge influence on my life. They weren’t perfect, oh my no, but they were strong in…

Connected – or Not

Yesterday morning a friend, (one of my Marco Patriot Peeps), texted me from up north and asked if I had phone service. I replied that I did. We had been seeing several posts come in for our Marco Patriots FB group, where people were asking about phone service being down. Well, indeed it was true,…
