I’m All Grown Up, But I’m Still a Kid
I embraced every minute of precious family time during Thanksgiving week. My family is right up there at the top of my “gratitude” list. We are a diverse family with diverse interests and diverse ways of life. None of us were cut from the same mold, but we have this one thing in common –…
The Little Things Can Mean So Much
When itemizing those things we are grateful for, we’ll often list things that money affords, like our home, car, food, clothes, electronics, and those things that add to our comfort. Since my washer and dryer are 25+ years old, I thank God each time I get my washing and drying done, But this Thanksgiving week,…
Is Jesus an Invited Guest at Your Table?

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. But, before I go to that high…
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. Even…
