Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

Good Monday Morning 6.21.21

Good Monday morning – and Hello summer!!  Insert my happy dance:)  Exactly how I feel about summer is no secret.  I really enjoy it.  Yes, it is hot.  Humidity is the pits and mosquitoes are not my friends.  But the perks – all that is so summer happy –  completely outweigh the negative in my book.  Here’s to a sun-drenched first day of summer…complete with a tall glass of really cold iced tea!

I hope everyone had a nice Father’s Day yesterday.  These types of holidays (well, most holidays) seem to revolve around food.  Not that I’m complaining:)  We had a nice dinner out.  My husband did not have his favorite meal (ha!) but he did enjoy some pepper encrusted sirloin!  I also lost my voice over the weekend….maybe an extra gift for him!! Ahem.

Today’s verse is from our pastor’s message yesterday.  A great encouragement – and challenge – for dads…and all of us.  Whether we have children – at home or grown – or even if we do not, all of us have others that we can exhort, instruct, encourage, and for whom we can model Christ.  We need to invest in our children – yes – but we also need to invest in people!!  Who are you investing in…. encouraging them to “walk worthy of God”??

“As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one one of you, as a father doth his children, that ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.”  I Thessalonians 2:11-12

Good Monday Morning
