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…

Finding God’s Promise
When I started this little blog a few years ago I came up with the name Inspirasuns. The tagline is “Finding God’s Promise through sunrises & sunsets”. I’ve been taking pictures of sunrises and sunsets forever, and I’m fortunate to have tons of friends who send them to me now. I’ve even started sharing many…

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…

Picture This
Like most couples, we have many pictures around our home. Pictures of kids and grandkids growing up over the years. Pictures with friends, pictures of my husband and I at all stages of our life placed all throughout our home. We also have various pictures of our parents to round out the displays. Last night,…

Clearing the Haze
Here in SW Florida, we’ve been fighting a drought for a while. Even through the rainy season last year, we didn’t get enough to bring our water tables back to normal. Even in our little community where we have sprinklers that water plants daily, we have patches of grass that have gone dormant and have…

Turning with Grace
We all find ourselves in situations where we have to turn the proverbial cheek. It’s not easy, we feel hurt, sadness, or even pity, as in pity party for ourselves. When these situations occur I think Father is asking us not to just let it go and walk away, I think He asks us to…

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.…

Forgive and Forget?
It’s an old phrase that, as I’ve read, dates as far back as the 1600’s. It didn’t actually begin as forgive and forget, it was first quoted as “Let us forget and forgive injuries.” Shakespeare also used the phrase in King Lear, “Pray you now, forget and forgive”. I’m not sure when the phrase was…

Let Father Have It
It’s funny how we humans think sometimes? I know that is kind of an open-ended and even loaded question. Let me be a little more specific. We think we can control so much, and have so much under control. One of these days we really will, or at least I will, come to the realization…
