The King is Coming
Please forgive my insatiable appetite for remembering the past and applying it to a blog. I’m sure it helps my memory faculties stay intact when I can pull out an old, true story that bears repeating. Just keeping those stories alive and well! It’s “the king’s” birthday today! Note: the lowercase king not the uppercase…
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…
A Life of Purpose – On Purpose
What a grand scheme God had when He sent His only begotten Son to this earth with the ultimate purpose of dying on a cross for you and me…..so that we could spend eternity with the WHOLE FAMILY of God! Now, that’s what I call a “Purpose-Driven-Life”. The book, “The Purpose Driven Life”, written by…
There’s Just Something About “The First”
The first bicycle; the first dance, the first boyfriend, the first kiss, the first home, and the first child. Though the love is no stronger for any of my seven grandchildren from the other, there is still “just something” about the FIRST. Who knew that all those silly, photo-toting, beaming-from-ear-to-ear, incessantly jabbering about their grandkids…
We’ve Got Super-Powers!
Happy 15th Birthday, Super Bryson! So my precious Bryson, the youngest of my seven awesome grandkids, turns a big 15 today! What??? How can it be? 15 years has flown by and oh the joy he has given to his Nana! His birthday is the day after his Papa’s graduation to heaven. How befitting that…
🎃The TREAT of October 31st, 1922🎃
This sweet little lady is my dear mother-in-law, Lydia (Winick) Wuerch, who God presented to the world 99 years ago today. Though she was born on the day attributed to Halloween, she was always the TREAT, not the trick. I talk a lot about her because her life changed my life since I was 12…
And Many More…
Are you one of those who must have the last word? If so, then at the conclusion of singing “Happy Birthday” to someone, you probably added the big finish…. “And many more!!” I’ve come to find those words reassuring, so I always sing “and many more” under my breath in hopes that my quiet wish…
Getting Older Doesn’t Suck
Just living a while longer in the magnitude of the light that shines so brightly from my birthday candles! And, really, thank God, I’m not serious – no cake could support that many! But I am living in the light of God’s goodness and mercy to still be alive and well! I remember working closely…
And God Said…..
“Tada! Here’s Donna!” It’s the day when I made my big debut on planet earth. And since I’m still here, I must not be done! The fanfare started last night when the Wuerch clan showed up with the party. When asked where I wanted to go for my birthday, I told them “my place”! And…
Do You Feel Special?
I do! I feel especially special today because today is Ryan’s (my firstborn’s) birthday. This birthday will be celebrated in what makes him happy. At some point in this day, he’ll hear his whole family (all nine of us) singing “Happy Birthday” to him followed by the “Special Plate”. We’ll have a family dinner together.…
