THIS IS THE DAY the Lord Has Made! Let’s LIGHT It Up!
Indeed, “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad for it!” (Psalm 118:24) This day was created by God from the very beginning for His will and good pleasure. It’s a day of great joy to be alive and to celebrate His goodness and mercy that endures forever. I…
???The TREAT of October 31st, 1922???
This sweet little lady is my dear mother-in-law, Lydia (Winick) Wuerch, who was born on October 31st, 1922, 95 years ago. Though she was born on the day attributed to Halloween — she was always the TREAT — not the trick. ?????For those who have known Mom as their dear friend, mentor, close relative or…
What Symbols Do You Hold Dear?
We are surrounded by signs and symbols in everyday life. We make decisions based on them — traffic signs, for example. What about our American flag that symbolizes the price our service men and women paid for our freedom? What about that coin on the sidewalk that reminds us “In God We Trust”? When I…
Treasure Your Treasures
Still here in Austin, I was able to celebrate my youngest grandson’s 11th birthday. His birthday isn’t until November 17th, but they’ll be out of the country on that date – so Nana must do what Nana always does. I threw my Bryson a birthday celebration last night, complete with the fam’s favorite – Waikiki…
Are You Living In YOUR Zone?
I love my Dallas Cowboys – have been a fan of theirs since the 1960s when they first became a franchise, but, otherwise, I’m not what you call an avid sports fan, unless the one that is playing happens to be one of my grandchildren, then I’m gung ho! I even have a t-shirt that…
Just Checking Out My Fall & Winter Wardrobe!
I changed out my Summer wardrobe for my Fall and Winter wardrobe a couple of weeks ago, which is a good indicator that Summer will continue for a few more weeks. 😉 The best wardrobe, regardless of the season is Proverbs 31:25: ‘“She is CLOTHED with strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of…
Candy Corn, Peanuts, Pumpkin Spice Coffee and Gratitude
Can you feel it? Whether we’re pulling out our sweaters or still running our air conditioner at full blast, autumn is undeniably here. Hobby Lobby and Michael’s have had their shelves stocked with Fall decorations for months, and now shoppers are setting the Fall atmosphere in their homes with those scarecrows, pumpkins, and décor’. Fall…
All for One — One for All: “One Another Living”
Maybe we should take the battle cry of the Three Musketeers and make it our motto. “All for one and one for all”! That sounds like a lofty goal, especially in the light of how many different, opposing groups of people love or hate each other. So much bitterness and contentious words and remarks are…
Tell Your Heart to Beat Again
Being in Austin brought an extra blessing on Saturday night, because I was able to attend Danny Gokey and Mandisa’s “Rise Out of the Dark” Tour. You’ll remember them as finalists on “The American Idol” Show (seasons 8 and 5 respectively). Especially endearing, was one of Mandisa’s dancers, Sydni Chambers, who is my kids’, Ryan…
