A Little Chat about Grace
I live in God’s grace. I just know it. We all do! No matter what kind of mistake(s) we make, there is always a solution for restitution. It comes in the form of grace. It is God’s grace that heals and restores. He exchanges our tarnished slate for a fresh, clean slate so we can…
God is in the Details
Details — those ominous, pit-filled, heart-wrenching times when we ask: “Why? Why? Why?” But hold on, friends, God is in the details!!! We are having our morning devotions when we start looking for answers to some almost overwhelming issues. A sales contract on Carl’s home seems to have a glitch. During the inspection, some plumbing…
God’s 35,000 Feet View
It’s yesterday and it’s my birthday! And we’re on our way to I-Hop! It’s a redo of last year when my son asked where I’d like to go for my birthday. It was to I-Hop where a most charming waiter welcomed us and sang “Oh, Donna!” to me and the entire restaurant. To top it…
Connecting the Dots
I have learned to connect the dots on so many levels. God helps me with that. Daily. If I don’t have enough time to work out, rather than stress about it, I chill. No sense making an ado about nothing. Connect the dots of “chilling” on this day. Maybe my body needs a rest day.…
Set Up for a Divine Set UpI
I SET UP the appointment for my car’s two-hour scheduled maintenance (oil change, tire rotation, etc.). A couple of days later, Wednesday, I am handing over my keys and car to the service technician at my car dealership’s service area. I make my way to the waiting area. I grab a latte and a muffin…
Connecting the Dots
Remember that game? I do! You probably played it too, along with the numbers we connected by drawing lines to the next number and soon it unveiled a picture of something. “Connect the dots” is a phrase that has popped up today as a metaphor to illustrate an ability to find the “big picture” of…
Feeling a Little Anxious Today?
My sweet granddaughter from Frisco, Alexia, stayed over a couple of extra days when the whole family came up last weekend. We had such special girl-time together. I scored when she, who is her own style with the combat boots trend she loves to wear, let me find a girly-girl dress for her to try…
A Year of Great Expectations
I have started this new year on a “great expectation” high. I am over-the-top excited about the “new”. Certainly not expecting a Disney World kind-of-magical-year. Nor, singing “Somewhere over the rainbow where trouble melts like lemon drops.” My great expectations for 2021 are living this good life in simple confidence in “He Who began a…
Things are Looking Up with Optimism and Hope
We are known as an optimistic family. We reinforced optimism in our children with “You are champions. You can do anything if you set your heart and mind to it. With God all things are possible.” We purposely speak “God is good — all the time” regardless of sunshine or rain, joy or sorrow, win…
Subject to CHANGE Daily
I’m pulling my “female” card. Yes, I am a woman and I am subject to CHANGE daily. I can CHANGE my mind about this or that. I can CHANGE clothes – just because I want to. I can CHANGE occupations (and I did). I’m also a “single” so I can CHANGE TV channels whenever I…
