This is Your Life! What Does it Look Like?
At the Bible Study I attend, a gal said, “I wonder if God videos our lives and one day, when we get to heaven, we’ll see the video and then be able to thank all those who influenced and encouraged us? Another gal, said “And what about the video that you’ll be in of someone…
Is Your “Faith Tank” Running on Empty?
Before I left for Austin on Sunday, I made sure to get my car filled with gas. I was thinking the closer I go South, maybe the gas shortage could create a “treasure hunt” to find gas – not to mention the price of gas might be higher as I travel further South also. I…
Maybe You Could Use a Gap Year or Month or Day
I’ve been in Austin to see two of my sweet Canadian cousins. The extra perk is that they are staying at my kids’ home for a few days until they head out for Comfort, TX where Tynessa Neufeld will be attending Bible School. Tynessa is taking a “gap” year to wholeheartedly pursue God and His…
Don’t STOP Now!!! Just Keep Swimming!
Don’t STOP Now!!! Just Keep Swimming! I’ve watched so many animated movies with my grandchildren that I have plenty of material for my blogs/posts for a long time. Hence, today’s inspiration was the hilarious “Finding Nemo” movie., Dory said to Nemo when he was down about his circumstances “”When life gets you down, you know…
Do You Remember Your First Job?
I know you remember your first job. We all do. It was a pivotal time in our lives. I’ll never forget mine. I had signed up for Vocational Office Education (VOE) at my high school, which means I would gain enough office knowledge and skills to get my first job. I had learned to type,…
A Journal of Joy & Laughter
I was in Tulsa for the last couple of days to check in on Mom and my other besties. So my “sugar and spice and everything nice” awaited me. When I arrived at Mom’s, Karen (my sis-in-law) and her home health nurse were with her and Mom was cringing as the nurse tended to some…
It’s Time to Get Out FROM UNDER
Ever heard someone say this? “UNDER the circumstances, I’m making it”? Quite frankly, those dear souls in Southern Texas and Louisiana could get away with saying it and it’s not just a saying for them — it is literal! But in spite of anyone’s circumstances, there are other options for declaring where we are and…
Is There a Rainbow Yet?
We’ve all been watching with concern as Hurricane Harvey and its flood waters ravage the countless communities and cities in Texas, and now Louisiana. I haven’t been able to blog about “raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, blue satin sashes, and warm woolen mittens” when our precious brothers and sisters (we’re all God’s children)…
He Rescued Me
Over the last few days, I’ve seen such remarkable and heart-stirring scenes of people being rescued out of the rushing flood waters of Hurricane Harvey, off of roof tops, and from cars and homes. Thanks be to God for America where our people – first responders, volunteers, churches, charitable organizations, and so many others are…
Comfort and Coziness Can Be So Trivial
Getting a good night’s sleep is high priority for me so having the just right room ambiance, cool temperature, white noise playing, and several pillows to accompany me are all on my “must have”, nighttime list. Last night, as I laid down in my cozy and comfy bed, I realized how blessed I am as…
