Live as Children of the LIGHT.
My word for today is LIGHT: the brightness that dispels darkness. Christmas LIGHTS are getting scarce now as most of us have taken down the LIGHTS from our homes and businesses, and packed them away for another year. Now, it’s up to us to represent and be THE LIGHT to our family, our neighbors and…
Magnify — to Make Larger
Magnify — to Make Larger Is it just me, or have you also been noticing that the fine print on bottles and cosmetics has gotten smaller? It’s common for me to pull out my trusty magnifying glass to make those words larger. My word of the day, and my personal word for this year is…
My 2018……and Beyond — Resolutions
My Word of the Day is Resolution: a firm determination to do something, and not change it. Doesn’t that make sense? Maybe that’s why so many fail at “resolutions”. We want a short term fix. A goal has an end date. A resolution is unending. One of my “goals” with an end date of on…
I Waved Farewell to the Past
The Word of the Day: PAST — no longer existing. Remember the Von Trapp Family in the “Sound of Music” singing “So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, good-bye”? That’s what I did on New Year’s Eve.” The PAST is now the PAST. And, what a way to say farewell than in a predominately African American crowd…
Happy NEW Year — NEW is the Word of the Day
I was checking in with Headquarters (God – my CEO) on what my assignment for 2018 would be, and the message I received was “Word of the Day”. My blogging began in 2010 and it started with daily posts that spoke of the faithfulness of God during our roller coaster ride that sure had its…
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,…
