Reflect and Recommit

Today, we begin the Lenten season. The 40 days before Easter (not including Sundays). A time of reflection and repentance. A time to dig deeper into our hearts, opening even more space for our Lord to live through us. In this little blog, I share a prayer I read this morning. O Merciful Father,Today I…

Raincoat of Armor

My husband and I were chatting last night about the possibility of rain. We so need it here in SW Florida, well, the whole state needs it for that matter. We have some serious drought action happening. Fortunately, the forecast was calling for rain during the evening hours. This morning, when I got up, I…

Source of Strength

Thank you all for your prayers yesterday. I came to this little blog asking for prayers for some special people, and as always, you did not disappoint. We’re waiting for some test results for Martha, so a treatment plan can be finalized. Keep those prayers coming for clear information on next steps. Pips, well, he…

A Little Goes A Long Way

I’ve said it so many times before, but I am so humbled by the community that has formed around this little blog. It’s God’s little blog, not mine. I do my very best to let Him guide the messages that I write here, and goodness knows that He certainly guides the beautiful sunrise and sunset…

Tuesday Pick Me Up

I don’t know about you, but sometimes for me Tuesday is a more difficult day of the week to get going than Monday. Maybe it’s because over the years of working, we expect Mondays to be a challenge. I mean, we’re coming off a weekend and all. Tuesday, on the other hand, well, it’s that…

Comfortable

Take a moment to think about the relationships in your life. The relationship you have with your spouse, family, and close friends. Are you comfortable in those relationships? I’ve mentioned here before that we go to breakfast on Sunday mornings following church, with some good friends of ours. It’s kind of a joke now about…

The Funk

I’m not sure about everyone else, but over the past few days, I’ve found myself in a “funk”. Maybe it’s the cold weather. Yes, I realize that we can’t complain because we’re not in the sub-zero temperatures here in SW Florida. However, it has been cold here, and this weekend we will be even colder.…

The Winter Blast

We have a beautiful day on tap here in SW Florida. I don’t say that to rub it in, no, I say that to confirm how fortunate we are this weekend. Much of the United States is under a major winter weather advisory, with some areas expecting double-digit snow or even worse, an inch of…

Watching

There have been times in this life when I’ve had people tell me they feel like Father is testing them. I’m not one to believe that He does that. I don’t see the Lord creating us, His children, to test us. I do, however, believe that He watches how we handle situations. Because of our…

God Centered

A friend of mine shared something on social media yesterday. It’s a wonderful story about the Indiana University quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Even if you are not officially an Indiana fan, you have to admit that the championship game the other night was unbelievable in many ways. I wanted to share this story here for several…
