Father and Friendships

I’m spending this week with some old friends. We’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of the association I was a part of in many ways for more than 15 years. I’m looking forward to seeing old friends, hugging many necks, and celebrating a community that has grown so much over the years. As I look at…

For the Doers

Today is Labor Day. I don’t want to take up this little blog with the full history of Labor Day, but I did want to share this interesting summation of this last holiday of the summer, that I came across from Country Living magazine. “Simply put, Labor Day celebrates Americans who labor. It is a…

A Simple Sunday Prayer

As we all enjoy this long weekend, I thought maybe just a simple prayer for this beautiful Sunday. May your day be filled with a little relaxation, time with loved ones and friends, and time with Father. Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of rest. As we slow down this long weekend, help us…

He Gives

I was reading a post from a friend on social media yesterday. She’s been through a difficult few months, yet through it all, her faith has kept her strong. I talked to her a few weeks ago, and she mentioned that she wasn’t sure why the Lord felt she was so strong, but she was…

Don’t Underestimate

I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday. We were discussing our busy schedules, juggling the various things in our day. We were discussing the general craziness out there these days, I swear there is a full moon like 6 out of the 7 days a week 🙂 . What was interesting was we…

The Old Days

Yesterday, after church, we joined our friends at breakfast (as has become the routine). We went to one of our four places of choice. When we were seated and had our coffee, we started looking at the menu. We all noticed that it was different. It was considerably smaller; they had taken many things off…

My Heart, Your Heart

A few mornings ago, I was sitting on the lanai having my regular a.m. check-in with Father. I was asking for prayers for my “regulars,” I call them. Of course, family and friends, but also those who have specific needs, such as the return of sweet Emily Rea. As I talked with Him and prayed,…

Present Day Prayer

It’s Thursday, and the weekend is around the corner already. That’s not a bad thing. And…this weekend we have our 13th Annual fishing tournament at our church. This is a fun family event. Prizes for the kids and adults. Lots of food, lots of fun, and lots of stories about the “one that got away”.…

He Is the Same

I woke up several times last night. Not one of my more restful nights’ sleep. You know how it goes, you try to shut your mind off, but there are just those evenings when it doesn’t want to cooperate. I tried the standard things, counting sheep, deep breathing, counting backwards from 100, ya, no dice.…

When a Song Speaks

Every now and then I drop a song here in this little blog. It breaks up my little ramblings and most of the time the message is very timely. Sometimes, like this morning, a song speaks to you and you just keep hitting that replay button. Ya this morning was one of those times. So,…
