It’s Good Friday. Such a heartbreaking day when you consider it. The day we remember Christ’s crucifixion. The utter hopelessness that it entails. Not just complete sadness but the fear – the dread for the future – that those at the foot of the cross must have sensed. Our days can also easily be filled… Read More Victory is Mine Because of the Resurrection
Welcome to the week of chocolate, hearts, flowers, chocolate and..well, more chocolate! It seems like Valentine’s Day creates strong opinions….either you really enjoy it and embrace all the fun. Or you totally don’t. I have so many fun memories of celebrating Valentine’s Day with my kiddos when they were little. We started the day with… Read More A Valentine Tag Revisited
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
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
Something a bit different for me today. Trista at the Classy Chaos blog posted a Twenty Questions link-up on Instagram. I thought I would answer them here. Just for some fun – heading into this long weekend. I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating our country. Take a few extra moments to seriously pray… Read More Twenty Questions
Just like that – it is time for another Share Four Somethings. Always a bit surprised how quickly another month comes to an end. June has not been much more eventful than May, although things do seem a little bit more “back to normal” – minus everyone wearing a face mask. I understand all the… Read More Share Four Somethings: June 2020
Happy Friday. It’s Father’s Day weekend. Although it has been 20 years (yes, twenty!! It is hard to imagine) since I last saw my dad on this earth, I tend to get nostalgic – if not a bit emotional – on special weekends last these. I am so grateful for the relationship that I enjoyed… Read More Father’s Day 2020
Happy Easter weekend – and Resurrection Sunday!! As I only post on Tuesday and Friday, let me take the chance now to wish everyone a happy and blessed Easter. Yes, we will all be celebrating uniquely this year, but, oh, the quarantine has not stopped Easter. Christ’s resurrection is still true and the foundation of… Read More Happy Easter – 2020
Experience. Today’s FMF prompt immediately took me to Romans 5:4… “And patience, experience; and experience, hope.” Of course, this verse makes the most sense when read in context with the verses before and after it. “……but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh… Read More I Can Be Grateful For the Hard Things
It has been a while since I posted and I suppose, without intention, I have taken a little holiday blog break. While I don’t regret a break, I do miss writing, posting and connecting with readers and other bloggers….and wanted to make time to express my sincere wishes for a blessed Christmas to each of… Read More Celebrating His Birth
