I have one more post about Thailand. I hope it is not too much. So many of the lessons learned while on a trip such as the one I had to Thailand are, often, God taught and just for yourself. Other things can, hopefully, be used as an encouragement to…

Thailand Photos
The dictionary says a vacation is: “an extended period of recreation, especially one spent away from home or in traveling.” I spent almost two weeks in Thailand this past month. Definitely away from home – 8,789 miles from home! It was a missions trip and there was work accomplished but, for…
Too Many Steps for an Old Lady
June is in the books – and that means my (long-awaited for and much anticipated) trip to Thailand has now come and gone. I typically like to look back over a month and notice both the blessings it included, as well as whatever lessons God may have been teaching me. …

When Will My Thoughts “Return” to Normal??
Hello June – and embracing all the summer vibes!! My hydrangeas are “this close” to bursting into full bloom! This is also the first FMF post for June – the prompt for today is RETURN. Usually, my thoughts start heading in one direction right after I read the prompt, but this week…
Defeating My Doubt
Well, here we are with another month in the history books – and a time to look back at May. For me, this month has been a month of preparation. Yes, May is always eventful and there were the annual graduations and picnics that follow and, of course, the mental…
