Followed by Goodness and Mercy
Uncertainty about what this day holds. Concerned about what the doctor’s report will be. Dismayed about life savings placed in an investment that continues to spiral. Anxious about the cost of living. Worried about the children’s friendships. As much as we know better than to succumb to worry, fear, and anxiety, there are still times…
Trusting God in the Senseless
Yesterday I blogged about the times when we MUST trust! We have a host of reasons to have a problem with trusting, especially when it comes to relationships and our heart gets broken or when dreams crush or our dream vacation turns into a nightmare or when we’re let down by a sickness reoccurrence. We…
Merry Christmas to You and Yours
Happy Birthday, Jesus! Joy to the world the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King! Many joys and blessings to my dear, encouraging, and supportive, friends and family! Up and at ‘em is the full-of-life-and-joy kiddos this morning. Maybe the rest of us are moving at a slower pace, seeking just a few…
The World Needs a STABLE Influence

Child Like Faith is Born
One of my fondest memories, as a child, was memorizing a Christmas poem for my church’s Children’s Christmas Program. It may have been the simplest of words “Christmas is a time of joy. It started with a baby boy. He came to save us from our sins. Won’t you let him be your friend?” But…
Good Sense Makes Good Sense
My 5:45 am early morning walks are getting darker and darker. I thought, because it’s summer, that it would stay bright and light at least until September, but not so. I walk that early before it gets so hot outside. But this morning, it was pitch dark so I knew I needed to take my…
I Didn’t See That Coming
I just can’t make this stuff up. It’s Monday morning, 5:45 am. I am amped up and ready to attack this day with my ear buds in for my morning power walk I can see the sunrise barely peeking through. I walk on the street which is much kinder than some of the sidewalks that…
Our Angels Deserve So Much Credit
I am so grateful that God constantly doles out His mercies for giving me daily content for my blog. On Thursday, he doled out His mercies to me as I was making my way to Austin to spend a few days with my children. I try to leave by 6 am to beat the Dallas…
We Have a Treasure in Us
I have been known for notorious treasure hunts for years — since my oldest grandchildren were too young to read the clues. We had to read for them and then they’d run to the location. It was always Nana and Papa’s way of spicing up birthday fun. It’s a work out to get the rhyming…
Keeping My Eyes Forward
Twice now, I have gone to my mailbox and while walking back to the house and looking at the mail, my feet hit where the curb declines for the driveway and twice I have hit the ground hard – lacerations on my hands and knees and this last time, hit my forehead hard. Thank God,…
