He Ain’t Heavy. He’s My Brother.
I read these prophetic words from a minister’s e-mail yesterday: “The road has been rough with obstacles and detours, ups and downs, but soon things will become smoother and easier to navigate. Stay the course and trust Me (God) to bring you through to victory. You are My chosen generation.” And those words sparked other…
March ON
January – Check, February – Check, and already to March. We may look at our 2022 resolutions, dream boards and goals list and wonder “Have I accomplished anything on my lists in this new year?” The truth is life happens. And, with it, our grandiose plans may go awry. But, no worries, we can still…
Wrapping Up the Love Month with Love Letters
February’s last day! Tomorrow March will be “marching on”!Here in Austin, we had several days of below freezing weather last week. It was so cold, my grandson’s baseball tournament in Fredricksburg, TX for the weekend was canceled. I didn’t mind. It was way too cold for comfort! My family in Winnipeg Canada are rolling their…
Love God and Do Whatever You Please
This Love Month is coming to a close tomorrow. So, I need to squeeze in one more blog that accentuates God’s love for us and our love for Him. The title of this blog was a quote by St. Augustine. I thought “Did I hear that right? Do whatever I want?” How can that be?…
And They’ll Know We are Christians by our Love
You may have noticed that I have been keen on the love theme in my blogs this month. After all, it is the love month! Nevertheless, I must admit my love battery needs a charge. My attention to details has been diverted and I’ve neglected to pay attention to matters that need serious attention and…
Love Keeps on Giving and Forgiving
The day after Valentine’s Day, I took down the photo of my husband and I and the plaque that read: “A True Love Story Never Ends” from my entry shelf. But, since it’s still the “love month”, I replaced it with the one seen here. This plaque reads: “You are so loved”. I hope it’s…
Best & Worst of Times
Have you had some BEST of times? I sure have! I know the times of great peace, without worries or concerns, the “Good Ship Lollipop” kinds-of-days. And I have had some WORST of times. Heartbreak, disappointments, family upheavals, sickness and disease, broken relationships, financial disasters and “the dog biting, the bee stinging and feeling sad…
The Beginning – The Middle – The Victory
It’s a process. You and I both know the drill. The beginning when the crisis initially occurs, and the deliberations ensue on how best to make it through. Then there’s the middle when we pray, hope, and stand strong – doing our best to do what we can to make it through. Then there’s the…
Still Loving in the Love Month?
In this social media era, there’s a lot of pressure on couples to pull out all the stops when “the question” is about to be popped — from airplanes with tails that read: “Marry Me, Olivia” to a throng of people singing and dancing in the street to help the proposer ask the big question.…
Power-Up, Brain!
My precious mom would say to her doctor “Doc, some mornings I just don’t want to get out of bed!” He replied: “The day you decide to do that, expect to be bedridden very soon!” In essence, he was saying: “If you don’t use it – you’ll lose it!” I’m sure Mom’s doctor’s words were…
