Happy New Year, friends! Thank you, so much, for all those who have commented and reached out to me since my last post…and my explanation for a short break! How encouraging this little space can be! I find myself wanting to return here, to blog, and to connect – but have to remind myself (often)… Read More Happy New Year
December 26th – and Merry Christmas! I have been rather quiet here on my blog and, honestly, have not been checking in with others’ blogs either. I have purposely taken the last couple of weeks to simplify and enjoy the holiday season. And, I must admit, it has been lovely. I think there will be… Read More A 2020 Wrap-up – and a Short Break
My friend, Leslie, has invited (and encouraged) us to share ten Christmas traditions. Sounds simple but ten is actually a lot. But, on Instagram, she encouraged us to give it “the old college try” and so I will:) Traditions around here have changed and some have evolved or others have been modified. That used to… Read More Christmas Traditions – Then and Now
In an effort to keep my heart fixed, my thoughts, emotions and feelings settled, and with real intent, to enjoy and savor Christmas and all that can (and should) be beautiful about it, I have really limited my time – and attention – on not just social media but the computer in general. It has… Read More An Acrostic on Heaven
It seems I just wrote November’s “Currently” post – which ended up being what I affectionately called the “my husband fell and busted his knee” edition of Currently. How can we already be (just about) a month out from that quick fall that abruptly changed our plans, our routines and, it feels like, just about… Read More Currently: December 2020
Time for the next installment of Heather’s monthly Share Four Somethings. I enjoy these reflections on the past month – but, boy, do they come around fast! No lengthy intro this month….let’s just jump right into it!! Something Loved. Thanksgiving this year. It was totally different. Our typically small group was even smaller. We were… Read More Share Four Somethings: November 2020
Just a heads up…a little bit of photo overload in this post. At least, for me. I know many, if not most, enjoy lots of photos (I am one of those who enjoy blog pictures) but I typically do not include too many in my own posts. Not sure why. Well, actually I am. My… Read More Twenty-five Days of Gratitude: A Recap
Waiting. Just the mention of the word can make many of us cringe. Or, at least, sigh deeply. Even when – or perhaps especially when – we have the head knowledge for the value of waiting and God’s promises for those who will wait (and will wait well), the actual waiting can still be so… Read More Do You Wait Well?
Time for November’s “Currently” post…and I am anxious, and curious, to see what direction all the posts will take this month. Without a doubt, there is much “currently” happening – no matter where you live. Here in the US, we are, of course, one day post-election. Many are facing a return to lock-down. So many… Read More Currently: November 2020
“This know also, that in the last day perilous times shall come.” This is the first verse of II Timothy, chapter three. I think this sentiment, or ones similar to it, has been expressed (and rehearsed) repeatedly – both in and out of context – more in the last months than at any other time. … Read More Turning My Heart to Gratitude
