The American Spirit

Where do I even begin when talking about the spirit of this great nation over the past month? I just continue to be in awe of how Americans are coming together to take care of their fellow Americans. I continue to be amazed by how Father is working to connect His children to make things…

The Change Of The Family

I’m guessing I’m like most people in that as I’ve grown older my relationship with my parents and my siblings has changed. My parents have been gone for more than 20 years, but even in those few years before they passed away my relationship with them changed. I confided in them more, grew closer to…

It’s Not That Hard

Sometimes when I sit down to write this little blog, I feel like I’m trying too hard. This morning is one of those times. I’ve typed and deleted paragraphs at least three times. I know the message I want to share but I’m struggling with putting it down into words. Ugh… That’s when I realized,…

Every Day is an Anniversary

Yesterday my husband and I celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary. We’ve known each other more than 40 years and at one point yesterday I thought, wow, that’s a long time 🙂 .

The Promise & a Light Bulb

Last month in this little blog I mentioned a picture that sits by our bed, it’s a picture of my mom. Last night as I looked at that picture, like I always do while turning down the bed, I was reminded of something she told us before she died. She said she would let us…

The Roots In the Window

My husband and I were chatting last night before dinner. I wandered over to the bay window in our kitchen to look at an aloe plant that sits on our kitchen table. It really does love where it’s positioned, it seems like every day there is a new leaf appearing. It has grown to be…

Simple & True

It’s June which usually means wedding season. I’ve seen many beautiful pictures on social media of recent ceremonies. Each is a little different from the next but all so beautiful. Last weekend at church one of our parishioners was sharing that she and her daughter were going to a bridal show that afternoon. Her daughter,…
