Listen
Well, there’s a simple title for today’s little blog. A single word but my, it conveys so much. You all know I spend time each morning before I sit down here, talking with Father. It’s my “check-in” with Him before I start the day. It’s kind of like grounding myself before the day’s business takes over and if I…

Walking in the Wilderness
Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. During this time of Lent, we observe the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness fasting and being tested by satan. It’s hard to imagine all the ways that He was tempted and tested, yet Jesus denied satan at every step, He did not sin. We can…

When You Don’t Have Words
I’m sure we’ve all been in those situations when a family member, friend, or coworker tells you something and you just don’t have words to respond. You hear sad news, or an unbelievable story, someone says something mean, you get what I’m saying, the words you hear just leave you speechless. What happens when you just don’t…

Always a Parent
I remember when our kids were small, they would come to me or my husband when they got hurt or felt sick. I realize this is not something overly special just for us, all kids do that. Their first instinct is to go to where they feel safe, they go to a place of trust, and that…

Father First
It might be a short little blog this morning. You see I found myself on the lanai with Father a little longer. This morning it just felt good, well even better than other days, it felt good to just sit and be in conversation with Him. I guess as our relationship with God strengthens, actually a better word…

Taking the Wheel
A few friends reached out to me after reading yesterday’s little blog. I guess I’m not alone in some of the situations I’m finding myself in, truly needing Father’s guidance I mean. I think in all the challenges we face in life there comes a time when you really have to relinquish things to Father. You have to…

Be Still…
This morning I made my way out to my patio to spend time with Father. As I mentioned yesterday, I needed to get back to having a conversation with Him rather than just reciting prayers. My relationship with him has kind of been on “auto-pilot” for the past few weeks and that isn’t where it should be. I…

Reconnecting
Has anyone else been experiencing the flying by of the days lately? I know there is a saying the older we get the faster time goes by. I get it now for sure. When I was little it seemed like it took forever for some things, like the school year to end. Now, I’m like, um, where did the…

New Beginnings
Last year I shared several blogs about a beautiful eagle family down here in SW Florida. We have an “eagle cam” that captures the day-to-day life of these amazing creatures. There was tragedy last spring when the mother Harriett was killed by a predator as she tried to protect her eaglets while M15 the father was out…

They Made a Difference
Yesterday was our youngest’s birthday, and our oldest daughter just had a birthday a few weeks ago. For each of them this year, I did something different instead of posting on social media the embarrassing pictures of when they were young, you know those baby pictures, the goofy hairstyles, the princess dresses, ya some of them…
