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

Happy Tuesday.  Tuesday after Thanksgiving.  Are you still looking at leftovers?  Trying to get creative with that last bit of turkey?  One more perk to going away….no leftovers to fuss about.  And no leftovers is a rather nice thing for my hubbie.  He has never been a fan of leftovers…while I’ve never been one to waste a spoonful.  The struggle can be real in our kitchen:)

We came home from our short time away to find much of the neighborhood glistening in lights.  Apparently, more and more folks are embracing Thanksgiving weekend as the cue to turn on the holiday spirit.  Or at least their light display!  We aren’t twinkling yet but I did tuck all my turkeys, pumpkins and pilgrims safely back in their bins.  The house is sitting rather empty for a few days…and I know for a certainty that the minimalist look is not for me.

I normally have a full post on Tuesdays (if you are new) but will save that for tomorrow.  I will be sharing my monthly “Currently” post and joining the link-up.  I hope you will come back tomorrow.  I have a lot of catching up to do – so please leave a comment and I look forward to chatting with all of you.  Have a blessed day, friends!

  1. I’ve tucked away much pumpkins, too. But we will be with my daughter for Christmas as she delivers our first grandson. Not doing much Christmas decorating but will set out some snowflakes. Thanks for the reminder about Currently. How is it December?

    1. How very exciting…”our first grandson” and right at Christmas time!! Soak in all the extra joy of this holiday!!

  2. I’m so glad you had a nice Thanksgiving! Where did y’all go? Just curious. 😉 It’s funny, what you said about leftovers…I eat them, my husband does NOT. I’ve never thought about it until just this past week. All of a sudden, I eat leftovers all the time! I’m the only one, though. I know that the minimalist look isn’t for me either, but I could be on board with being minimal with other stuff, like clothes, shoes, gadgets for the kitchen, etc. I fall into the category of “cozy minimalist” in my mind. I’ve missed you here in blog world! I’m glad you’re back. Have a wonderful day, my friend!
