Thankful and Grateful

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! I am so thankful for YOU and, above all, so thankful for God’s love and blessings to us all. Carl and I had an early Thanksgiving with his family a couple of weeks ago. And tomorrow my family will be converging in East Texas. Thanksgiving! THIS IS THE DAY…

Happy Presidents’ Day

I researched and found this day began as a way of celebrating President George Washington’s Birthday. Now this federal holiday honors all U.S. presidents on this day. Do we acknowledge, with gratitude, what our presidents sacrificed and did for us? Why would anyone, including our current president, desire this position? What is it about the…

Thankful is an Understatement

Happy Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for YOU, my beloved family and friends who are ever-afters. What are “ever-afters”?

Happy Presidents Day! Thanks, Presidents!

I gave considerable thought to Presidents’ Day before posting today. In my research, I found this day began as a way of celebrating George Washington’s Birthday (our first U.S. president) and now it’s a federal holiday that honors all presidents of the U.S. In celebrating this day, do we really acknowledge, with gratitude, what our…

The Warrior Mentality

We all have defining moments that either make or break us.  Whichever they are — God will use them for our good.  Our destiny and purpose is wrapped up in each and every one of them.  It’s that “stuff” that causes the aha moments — those moments that seemed like the worst of worst times,…
