Of All the Blessings — the Ones I Love the Most Call Me Mom and Nana
Just getting ready to board my flight home to Tulsa. Thanks be to God for a beautiful cruise, lots of memories made with great friends and family, awesome excitement about the future of helping more and more people be blessed. And of all the blessings I have — the ones I love the most call…
My Amazing Dance Partner Makes Every Day Memorable
Last night, was karaoke night on the cruise. I urged my Staci to sing, and she did — blew the crowd away with her rendition of “My Heart Will Go On”. She dedicated the song to me…..and of course the tears flowed, as, once again, I remembered when my sweetheart was her #1 cheerleader and…
I’m Not Gonna Shortchange Myself
Okay — I really get inspired by some wacky things. Yesterday, I was hanging with my two youngest grandsons on the cruise. We were watching Monsters vs. Aliens. BTW — cute movie! Best part was the encouragement Susan gave to her fellow monsters. Susan was a giant because a meteor hit her. Her self esteem,…
Great Expectations
The word, HOPE, means “the exciting expectation that something GOOD is about to happen”. Charles Dickens is well known for his book, “Great Expectations”. With GREAT EXPECTATION I look forward to each day being one that is blessed and joy-filled. I’m experiencing that on this beautiful cruise I’m on. Believe me — it took work…
Stress FREE Life
At this time of my life, I often have to pinch myself at the blessings of God that seem way beyond my worthiness. Here I am on a cruise — the first one since my sweetheart and I went on our 15th cruise — it was our 40th wedding anniversary gift — to go to…
It’s Not Easy, But It Will Be Worth It
Nine months of pregnancy – twice – carrying and delivering my two precious babies –wasn’t EASY! Nausea, swollen feet eye twitching (yes, that one happened with both of my two darlings), lack of sleep, overall discomfort, and then the pain of the delivery……no, it wasn’t easy. But I am telling you…..it WAS sure worth it!…
God’s Messages to us Come In Many Ways
Do you ever have incidents happen that reinforce God’s love for you? Though there are days when things can get pretty topsy turvy, for the most part, if I watch and listen for God’s messages of love, I’ll find them. Not long ago I had one of those days. Seeing my driver’s license on the…
Welcome, Come On In!
“Welcome, come on in — we’re so pleased YOU came!” Last Thursday, during our Life Group, one of our ladies was sharing some concerns she had — especially because of the news that her job had been discontinued. While we were encouraging her with God’s faithfulness and that this situation was no surprise to Him,…
Faith-Filled Words = Blessings
At my Life Group last night, we talked about how important it is to speak and believe what we are wanting in our lives. The fact is, our words have incredible power! When we speak faith-filled words, positive things just naturally come our way. But, many people just focus on negative things in life, and…
My Name is in His Hand
I’m a fan of Max Lucado’s writings — he’s so real and relevant, and what he says touches my heart so much. This one, I just had to pass on to my wonderful FB friends: “When I see a flock of sheep I see exactly that, a flock. A rabble of wool. I don’t see…
