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…

The Garden
The past few weeks I’ve been enjoying watching the updates from friends and family as they plant their gardens. For many, it’s actually their first time putting in a garden, and it’s been fun to watch their excitement grow as their crop grows. Many of my friends are starting gardens for the first time with…

Strawberries and Trust
This weekend is our second annual strawberry shortcake event at church to celebrate Pentecost, (the celebration of when the Holy Spirit descends upon the Apostles). Last year was our first in making the shortcakes by hand and serving this classic treat during our coffee hours following each service. It was a hit and we’re back…

Break Away
Do you ever find yourself just questioning what to do next? Well, that is a pretty open-ended question I know. I guess there are times when we all wonder if what we are doing at a particular time is what we should be doing. Should I do housework or should I go to the pool?…

See with Your Heart
There are times in our lives when things happen and leaning on faith is truly what will get you through. Maybe that was kind of like a “duh” statement. I pretty much share that message every day here in this little blog. When I think about the time when Jesus was alive, the people who…

We Know Better
Now where might I be going with the title of today’s little blog? It’s actually going to be a pretty short one today. It’s very simple, I don’t know better than Father what is going to happen in this life. He and only He knows how my life will play out. Yes, I have control…
