It is time for this month’s Share Four Somethings – definitely one of my favorite link-ups. I’m late getting my thoughts together and even considered not participating this month. I was having a hard time thinking of things love and treasured. I know they are there…even in the midst of the most ordinary of weeks…so,… Read More Share Four Somethings: September 2021
I mentioned the promise of Heaven – the comfort that gives and the hope it offers – last week. I have received several sweet comments, thoughts, emails, and prayers…and I am so very grateful for each one. Without a doubt, they have made a difference. As I said on Friday, hope changes everything. The promise… Read More How Heaven Changes Me
I pray you had a good weekend. Mine was quiet, however, we did have a sweet day in church yesterday – which some much-needed fellowship after last night’s service. If you read Friday’s post, you know this week ahead (today even) comes with some heart challenges but I am starting the week thanking the Lord… Read More Good Monday Morning 9.20.21
The last day of my latest attempt at a writing challenge. I wasn’t exactly successful completing it; however, I really enjoy the use of prompts. I enjoy stretching my thoughts and the challenge of expressing myself in a limited amount of time (and words). Today’s prompt is hope. Hope. Such a beautiful word. And such… Read More Hope that Changes Everything
Well, just like that I missed the boat of successfully blogging for an entire week. While not exactly joining the IG Hopewriters Challenge (a bit of a challenge in itself since I don’t have an Instagram), I was hoping to use the daily prompts and put my thoughts together for five straight days. I made… Read More September Writing Challenge: INTENTION and EXPLORE
There is something so unique about the early hours of the morning. Something alluring about the earliest sun rays and the gentle stirring of a new day. The peace and, yes, the quiet. God has met me on many such mornings and has even done several incredible – and powerful – things for me in… Read More September Writing Challenge: QUIET
It has been a wonderful week around here. Yes, the weather has been lovely but it has just been a week of quiet blessings. In a lot of ways, a quiet “routine” week (which can be a blessing all its own) but also lots of bits and things mixed in as well. I thought I… Read More A Few Things on Friday. The One Where I’m Thrilled:)
Do you have a favorite Bible character? A hero of the faith? Maybe you never cease to be encouraged by a well-loved and well-known saint found in Hebrews 11 – the Hall of Faith. Or perhaps you more closely identify with one of the more “undistinguished” personalities found throughout scripture. I personally love reading about… Read More The Common Theme of Sacrifice
Happy Monday – and Labor Day, as well, here in the States! For those who did not have to set the usual alarm this morning or who otherwise have the day off…..woo hoo!! Enjoy:) We are going to enjoy the day at a picnic with our church family. I made a pasta salad and a… Read More Good Monday Morning 9.6.21
There was a time – granted, it has been a while – when I seriously, and enthusiastically, considered myself a “city girl.” The reality was (and is) I am as suburban as they come. Neither city nor country. I imagined having to love critters and other creatures great and small (which I do not) in… Read More Just Outside the City
