Being Thankful When It Isn’t Easy

In my post, yesterday, I welcomed this week of Thanksgiving. One day just isn’t enough for us to express our gratitude for God’s goodness and mercy for so many blessings. I know, however, Thanksgiving isn’t always a joyous and thankful time for everyone. I know that life is going terribly wrong for some people who…

Our Thanksgiving Week Begins

Awww…..beautiful Thanksgiving Week — the time we really focus on God’s multiplied blessings to us. Though it’s the mindset we should have all year through, this week we purposely hone in on what’s most important to us. I’m in “game-on” mode for all that this week will hold.

HOPE is Great Expectation

My husband described HOPE as “Something good is about to happen to you!” He/We never gave up hope….even until his last breath, we stood by “Nothing is impossible with God so we will continue to HOPE that something good is about to happen.” How beautiful to live with expectancy instead of living in hopelessness.

When It Seems Impossible NOT to Worry

I know worrying is counterproductive to anything we are pursuing and are believing for, but sometimes it’s just impossible NOT to have “spells” of worrying.

Controlling What I Can and Cannot

I felt a tug at the edge of my shirt and looked down to identify the perpetrator. He’s black and white with horns that could really hurt if he chose to wallop e.” me with them. His name is Oreo and he has a personality of grit and determination and lets his peers know he’s…

You Are Loved, So Don’t You Dare Quit Now!

Some things just don’t change…..but wouldn’t it be great if they did? The first two kids, Cain and Abel, birthed from the first two parents, Adam and Eve, couldn’t get along. In fact, their sibling rivalry led to the death of Abel. Fast forward to the dad, Jacob, and Joseph, his son (his favorite son…
