God and Dogs Are Best Friends!
God and Dogs Are Best Friends! I know you dog/cat lovers LOVE the title of my post today! So this post is FOR YOU — AND those of us who accept and support our animal-loving friends. Yesterday (Saturday), I headed out for my morning run and I noticed so many dog walkers out. I’m sure…
Santa’s Helper or God’s Joy Giver
I headed out on my morning run — a different and longer trail this time, but still in my kids’ community here in Frisco. When I run, I purposefully keep my eyes open to “God” inspirations. I rounded my turn, and before me I saw this lovely lady picking up things in the street and…
When You Choose HOPE, Anything is Possible
HOPE, means “the exciting expectation that something GOOD is about to happen”. Yesterday, I knew what that’s about — based on my grandchildren’s GREAT EXPECTATIONS about what last night held for them. When the tickets could first be bought, my grandson, Payton Wallace purchased tickets for his whole family (me and his friend included) to…
LET IT BE
LET IT BE And, Mary said “‘Let it be’…unto me according to your word.” In essence, she said “YES”. Such a simple word — only three little letters. but that “YES” changed everything for us. By her humble obedience to trust in what God was asking, the course of human history was changed. It wasn’t…
Christmas is for Children — of All Ages
Oh how the memories roll like a film during this time of year when we see a Christmas program, a play, light displays, hear a song or anything that creates a “blast from the past”. That happened for me on Sunday when my two youngest grandsons were in their church’s Children’s Christmas program — singing…
Bah Humbug or Good News of Great Joy
“Bah Humbug” is an expression used to show disgust at the Christmas season, made famous by Ebenezer Scrooge in the Charles Dickens novel ‘A Christmas Carol’. Ever had that “Bah Humbug” feeling? With all the “Joy to the World”, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and all the other songs of goodwill and glad tidings…
The Wide Eyed Wonder of a Child
Over the river and through the woods to Austin from Texas…..now it’s play time with my Southern Texas Fam!!! Oh the miles I’m putting on my car….but every mile brings with it so much gratitude and thanksgiving. I delight in these precious times of family focus — especially here during the Christmas season. While my…
Go Tell It On The Mountain
It’s the third Sunday of Advent and it’s time we should sing that song “Go Tell It on the Mountain”! Well — not necessarily from a mountain — that would mean we’d have to go climbing! Perhaps we can start right here on level ground to be joyful and full of the good news of…
Cornish Hens, A Street Sign and Noticing and Pondering
Lately, I’ve seemed to be more of a noticer AND a ponderer than ever before. Both words seem to be encased in the traditions of Christmas. I’m in good company. The shepherds were noticers of the angels who broke the news of their Savior’s birth. The Wise Men were noticers of the star that led…
