Just a little bit more gratitude….bear with me. I’m not sure the internet needs one more thought, list, motivation or creative way to improve our gratitude, but I did not finish my own reflections last week. Perhaps this post is simply for me. A purposeful way for me to pause, reflect, and to remind myself… Read More Finishing Up My Gratitude List
Fridays are often reserved for Five Minute Friday; however, on mornings when I volunteer, it can be challenging to get a post up and running before I have to get out the door. This week is one of those Fridays. This week has also been “one of those weeks” and I considered not even posting. … Read More A Memory of My Mom
Today marks another birthday. Another birthday that should have been – but will be missed. My sweet Tyler, who has been in Heaven for thirteen years, would have been twenty-seven. Yes, a grown man with, no doubt, a family and home of his own, but we still would have made a big deal of his… Read More Reflections on Another Birthday
June has been an emotional month. Certainly full of those events and moments – and even some days – that cause all the emotions. Of course, when I look back over the past weeks that have made up June, it is necessary to remember the good with the bad. The hard with the exciting. It… Read More Remember. Be grateful: June 2019
Yes, the beginning of February is well underway but I still want to look back at last month. To remember and appreciate all that God allowed to happen and the hidden blessings of this year’s first month. If I am not purposeful to do so, all I will see (and remember) is cold days, long nights, bitter… Read More A Little Letters Look at January
Another Friday gone and another FMF missed. Disappointing. I enjoy the challenge of the FMF prompts and I enjoy the community of FMF. I really enjoy blogging, actually, and do not like to miss posting. But life. Or, life with the flu. This struggle with the flu has been going on for almost two weeks. But, today… Read More Grateful in the Weary Days
Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year….and one of our most favorite weekends of the year, too! My husband’s daughter (and her family, as in – the grands!) live in Florida and we do not get to see her (or them) very often; however, every year just before Christmas, she comes to visit her… Read More Remember. Be Grateful: Erica’s Visit
Another month has come to an end….and this one is my favorite so I am extra sad to see it go. I thought it only appropriate to end with a look back at a few of my favorites – from fall and from October. Fall favorites – every year: Pumpkins are everywhere! The white ones… Read More Remember. Be Grateful: October 2017
Since I returned to blogging, I have tried to post regularly – for me and for now, that is every Tuesday and Friday. Yesterday, I missed my post which was totally not my plan. I knew I would be out of town but thought I would get the post up regardless. Didn’t happen. But I… Read More Remember. Be Grateful. 2017 Anniversary
Certainly one of the goals of this blog is to intentionally remember God’s goodness. How easy it is to get caught in the routine of life and, before you know it, another week has gone by – or, just as quickly, an entire month comes to an end. I believe, as Christians, we genuinely want… Read More Remember. Be Grateful. May 2017
