When You Don’t Know – Pray

I had a plan for today’s little blog, but I’m having second thoughts about it. Sometimes Father just nudges me that timing isn’t right for sharing certain thoughts. That’s kind of where I’ve found myself this morning. So having said that, I found myself looking at a blank blog page, 🙂 . Well, what do…

Don’t Just Say the Words

I find myself some days asking Father for the same things when I pray. I guess that isn’t so unusual. You know, asking for Him to keep family safe, asking for forgiveness of sins, guidance through the day, very common and needed prayers of course. However, I do find myself asking for specific things and…

Changing the Sheets

One of my least favorite chores at home is to change the sheets on the bed. I don’t have a good reason really, I mean it’s not difficult. I just dread pulling off our heavy comforter, then the back and forth from one side to the other, making sure I don’t have more blanket than…

The Children in Us All

Last night my husband and I stopped on the way home from work to grab a bite to eat. Many of the local restaurants run wonderful specials during the off-season here. It gives the locals a chance to visit new places without the crazy crowds, and in turn, we help the small business owners to…

You Never Know

One of the things that I enjoy the most about my job is helping people through the life decisions they are making. I’m here to make sure their wedding day pulls off without a hitch. When parents reach out about baptizing their children, I talk them through the logistics and get to prep all of…

The Pillar of Prayer

If you are like me, you offer prayers to Father many times a day. Some days I offer more than others, depending on what is happening. I guess we’re all probably that way. If things are going well in our lives, then we enjoy and have that occasional chat with Him. However, when things get…

Sewing the Seeds

Yesterday I headed out early to spend a few hours with a group of women I’ve come to know more closely over the past year. Now, if you’ve been reading this little blog for long you know that I’m pretty partial to my Saturday mornings. I tend to get started a little later, (that’s code…

His Presence

As you all know, I have a pretty solid routine of sitting with Father each morning and evening. I sit out on our lanai regardless of the temperature and humidity and just enjoy being there with Him. Early in the morning, the birds are just starting to stir and I feel His presence through them.…

The Birds of Hope

If you follow this little blog, you know that each morning and evening, I spend some quality time with Father on my lanai, (patio). The mornings are different because it’s usually very quiet, the fountain in our lake is off, there are not many lights on in the neighborhood, and maybe an occasional cricket chirping…

They Are the Future

I think for as long as we can probably all remember, at one time or another we’ve looked at our youth and said, “They are our future”. Admittedly that comment is not always said positively. We talk about millennials and how they are tied to electronic devices, would rather text than have a conversation, they…
