Practicing the Presence of God
Starting and ending each day for me includes devotions in the morning and a brief devotional before I fall asleep. I reason that I am starting my day and ending my day in God’s presence. Throughout my day, I’ll acknowledge Him with a “Thank You, Lord!” “I appreciate You, God!” “I love you, Jesus!” But,…
Life is a Balancing Act
Back to school for a couple of weeks now, most parents have their rhythm back while balancing all the activities of life. I’m back at it, too, picking up my youngest. I love it! Oh, the joy of hearing about his day. But I remember those days as a mom and having to juggle so…
We Have a Cheering Section
We Have a Cheering SectionI wanted to be on the pep squad at South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas, but my home life with a very sick daddy didn’t warrant it. But I guarantee you I am my own pep squad when one of my grands are playing in a sport or some other…
God’s Timing is Everything
Yes, it is! I can’t begin to list off the number of times we’ve been at the right place at the right time, and at the wrong place at the wrong time. When in the right place, it seemed God had us all wrapped up, tied up in Him and His marvelous ways. At the…
I Did It!
I made it through to Day #1 of another year! How can I say thanks? Let me let Andrae Crouch’s song lyrics help me: “How can I say thanks for all the things God has done for me? Things so undeserved that He gave to prove His love for me. The voices of a million…
She’s Still Here So She’s Not Done
It’s my birth-day! I’m one year older! One thing’s for sure, I don’t plan on grumbling or complaining about it. I’m grateful that I woke up this morning! That’s a great start to my day! I’m grateful I could dress myself, feed myself, walk by myself, hear, speak, and see! Those are the bonuses of…
Just Thought I’d Give You a Heads Up!
Tomorrow is my birthday. Not telling you that because I want your praise or presents. The dreams I had in my teens have come to pass. I don’t have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don’t have a curfew. I have a driver’s…
Be a Bunyan
We’ve only just begun, that is, Brennan’s High School Senior Year. Monday was the Convocation Ceremonies for Regents School students’, Kindergarten to Grade 12. The stands were full of parents and families. The floor was full of students. And the mamas of the seniors were shedding a few tears. This is the beginning of the…
What Would You Ask of Your Genie?
These days I do a lot of reminiscing. I’m not looking in a rear-view mirror to pine away at the memories of the past. I go back in time to cherish the sweetest times when God proved His faithfulness time and again. While our precious family from Canada has been here, we did some of…
Being Validated
I was excited when I found a parking space on the street of downtown Austin at the United States Federal Courthouse building when we were heading in for Karlei’s swearing in ceremony. Gord, (her dad), had to drive to a near-by parking garage. I followed the directions at the parking meter: 1) Type in your…
