This is Where the Best of Me Came From
My sweet Mom, Edna Pearl Wheat, is 107 years old today and she’s having the time of her “forever after” life in heaven. These photos are of her and my granddaughter, Alexia Wallace, 15 years ago. She was in her element when she was holding the babies. I love the “before” and “after” of Alexia…
Even Mistakes Can Become Blessings
My word for today is MISTAKE: error, slip-up, blunder, miscalculation, misunderstanding, oversight, misinterpretation, gaffe, faux pas. Goodness gracious, I didn’t realize that a mistake had so many synonyms. Now I can see how easy it is to feel so guilty from making a simple MISTAKE. My cousin (who lives just a few blocks from me)…
The Attitude of Gratitude
I’ve loved seeing FB posts by many of you who are expressing 30 days of gratitude in this month of Thanksgiving. Others are just randomly posting how grateful they are for their faith, God’s love and life’s sweetest blessings — their family, friends, their health, their precious times together making memories — all those things…
What’s Your Story?
I attended an event where one of the men at our table told how he knew he had been touched by God two years’ ago, and though he is still waiting for a liver transplant, he’s telling his story to young people of how he abused his body with alcohol and medications. No doubt, his…
Treasure Hunt for Treasures
Day 330 of Photo Inspirations — Treasure Hunt for Treasures Thanksgiving Week is well underway at Nana’s house. The Treasure Hunt for Bryson was a success that led to awesome treasures, not just for him, but everyone! $5 Dollar Tree cards. It’s a “must-have” trip while they’re here. Plungers were the big buy last time…
BLESSED
Day 129 of Photo Inspirations — B-L-E-S-S-E-D To make running on my treadmill more enjoyable, AND causes time to fly, is watching pre-recorded TV programs: The Voice, American Idol, Survivor, Amazing Race, Fixer Upper, Shark Tank, Biggest Loser, etc. — yes, my guilty pleasure is reality shows. You know the saying “She’s so heavenly minded,…
Walking With Purpose for Brain, Brawn and Blessings
Day 99 of Photo Inspirations — Walking With Purpose for Brain, Brawn AND Blessings I run or walk at least 15 miles a week. Where my Jacuzzi tub would have been installed, I had my builder to simply put the plumbing in the wall, in case I ever wanted to install it. Instead, that’s where…
Blessed to be a Blessing
Thanksgiving Week is here and I’m so thankful! My family are on their way to me! I’m ready for them! I’ve got the Treasure Hunt ready to go for my big 8-year birthday boy. Most of my baking and cooking is done, and all that goes with 11 of us in my not-so-big house. Only…
Love Transforms an Enemy Into a Friend
Yesterday I posted about an “upside down world – but, it’s a matter of perspective”. I started thinking about how upside down Jesus’ words seem to be in Matthew 5:44. “Love your enemies! Bless them that curse you! Do good to them that hate you! Pray for them who spitefully use you, and persecute you!”…
CEO of my Business — CEO of my Life
My tip of the day…..there’s no greater way to begin a new day and week than to have a meeting with the CEO of our business — especially with the desire for success in every way! My CEO is God, my Heavenly Father. Through the years of having early morning commitments, my body just naturally…
