Paint the Picture

Yesterday, we kicked off 2026, and I have to say we truly enjoyed the day. We slept in, made breakfast, and then relaxed with projects. One of the gifts I got for my husband for Christmas was the Lego Bronco, which has some pretty cool features, I might add. He parked himself at the kitchen…

A Year Stronger

We find ourselves again on the last day of the year. If you’re like me, you are wondering where the year went. Yes, it’s true, the older we get, the faster time goes. This morning, I looked back at my little blog post from one year ago today. As I read it, I realized one…

When Things Don’t Come Together

Last week, I had one of those unusual days. You know, everything was just off. I went to sign something, and my pen ran out of ink. Sent a document to the printer, and an error message popped up that I’d never seen before. A phone call asking questions about really off-the-wall things that I…

Be Present

Our 4:00 p.m. Christmas Eve service is made for kids. This service allows the children to participate. They bring ornaments (many of which they made several weeks before on Cookie Sunday) to the Creche to lay at the feet of Mary. Once placed carefully there with Baby Jesus, our priest will bless them along with…

True Joy

Last night I was reading in my little red book, “The Practice of Religion”, which I’ve shared about before here in this little blog. It’s a wonderful book filled with prayers and small services to get you through all manner of life. I read evening prayer almost every night from it. Last night, though, I…

The Countdown

Well, here we are, just 5 days from Christmas. Hard to believe I know, and every year we say the same thing, “Where did the year go?”. Simple little blog today, friends. Like most of you, I’m wrapping up last-minute Christmas tasks and errands. So I thought it would be fun, as we count down…

A Price

I’ve shared with you all before that sometimes I come to this little blog and don’t have a clue what I’m going to say. Father usually gives me a boost, and everything falls into place. Well, this morning I had just the opposite issue. I have several thoughts that I’d like to share, and I’m…

Dual Meaning

One of my favorite Christmas songs is Believe sung by Josh Groban. This is the title song for the movie Polar Express. I’m sure you are all familiar with the plot. A young boy has come to that sad point where he no longer believes in Santa, or at least he’s close to it. The…

It’s Not About…

I was thinking about this little blog this morning. It was one of those mornings when I was struggling a bit about what to share. Even my morning check-in with Father didn’t really yield a message, which is unusual. However, throughout the morning, my mind keeps returning to a situation from yesterday. I don’t want…

Concentration

Saturday, yep, you all know it, my favorite day, and during the holiday season, I love having the special traditions to focus on. This weekend is traditionally when our family gets the tree and decorates our home. We’ll be tackling that task for certain 🙂 . It’s also Cookie Sunday at church, where the kids,…
