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
It is December. Advent has begun. The Christmas season is officially in full swing. (For many, the stress is as well.) I’m looking forward to these holiday weeks too. But, before I completely forget Thanksgiving, a quick look back at last week’s holiday…which not only was special but is also one of my favorites. So,… Read More Thanksgiving 2019: A Recap
One of the things I miss about the holidays is spending time with my littles in the kitchen….creating fun, but simple (always simple) treats to celebrate the occasion. My kids are grown. There are no more Easter baskets or colorful, plastic eggs hung from the tree in the front yard….but I still enjoy playing around… Read More A Little List of Easter Treats
Today is the last Five Minute Friday for this year. Not only has this link-up been a wonderful challenge throughout the year – challenging my thoughts and my writing – but the other posts have been encouraging, convicting and helpful as well. For those new to FMF, each week there is a one-word prompt and… Read More With His Stripes
