Thinking Back and Looking Forward
It’s the 365th day of 2017. I made it!!! 365 days of posting a positive word for my FB friends and family. After all, there’s enough negativity in social media with politics (Phew – what a year that’s been!), the weather, the economy, the relationships or disappointments many vent about. Once upon a time, I…
The Twelve Days of Christmas – MERRY CHRISTMAS!
TToday is December 30th – which means it’s the 6th day of Christmas. A few days ago, upon my return home from Austin, I said in my post that I was going to start taking down my Christmas décor the next day. The inspiration came when my Austin Family were heading out of town for…
Where You Go, I’ll Go — Where You Stay, I’ll Stay
These photo inspirations are near and dear to my heart. This day, 16 years ago, my Sweetheart and I re-said our wedding vows during our 35th year of marriage. I’d like to say it was 35 years of wedded bliss — all sweet, rosy and delightful times that caused us to want to repeat our…
The Bright Light of Christmas is With Us
· While “The Wallace’s” and I were driving home from Austin yesterday, I was already thinking “I’m going to take down my Christmas decor’ as soon as possible since I’ll be going out of town next week and I want to come back home to a fresh clean slate in the new year of new…
Greater Things Shall You Do
I walked in the door of the Wuerch’s home and there came my youngest grandson to me — not running — but riding (standing up) on his hoverboard — with perfect balance and agility. I remembered the one he had a couple of years ago — more of a starter version. This one has lights,…
Does Santa Reflect How You Feel Today?
This Norman Rockwell painting shows a worn-out Santa on December 26th — and, like Santa, if all that’s left of Christmas for us — frazzled, exhausted, a bulging credit card balance, an over-full, bulging tummy, then we missed the true meaning of Christmas. I’ll admit that after all the activities that surround this beautiful season,…
Merry Christmas and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!
Merry Christmas and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS! It’s the birthday of our Savior! A day of celebration and joy to the world on this beautiful Christmas Day. Yesterday, I was blessed to be a communion server at my church. It hit home to me that the baby boy sleeping in the manger came to die, so…
Merry Christmas Eve — PLEASE Make Memories That Count — You Just Never Know!
Merry Christmas Eve!! PLEASE Make Memories That Count — You Just Never Know! My sweet Mama would always make her calls to each of her grown children on Christmas Eve morning — “Merry Christmas Eve!”. We expected that call. And, with fervor and joy, I say that to all of my FB friends today —…
Never a Birth Announcement Like This One!
Don’t you love it when a friend or family member shares the good news “We are Expecting!” in a cute photo — long before the baby’s birth — and then is followed up a few months later by the BIG announcement to the world that their baby has arrived? As cute as those birth announcements…
God Showed Up
As we get closer and closer to Christmas Eve, I think about the most remarkable moment when God showed up on this earth as a precious, perfect little baby boy — who just “laid in a manger”. Hmm. I don’t think I ever saw him crying and Mary needing to hold him to soothe him.…
