God is a Starter AND a Finisher
Over the years I have had many projects. I learned to decoupage and I made several decoupage pieces for others, like their wedding invitation and marriage certificate or some other treasured photo or document. I have also been a greeting card graphic artist and was able to include words or a poem I wrote that…
Was Jesus an Invited Guest at Your Table?
Oh, yes, He was and is and will forever be! Our most welcomed and invited family member – our big Brother. I remember when my big brother would come home, pick me up and give me the biggest bear hug. My big brother was my idol. He always (no matter our ages) introduced me as…
Thanksgiving Starts With “Thank You”!
A BIG jumbo sized “THANK YOU”, Lord, for our Dallas Cowboys’ win over Washinton yesterday. What a great time we had cheering for our team! I know that sounds trivial, especially in the light of many who are in a world of hurt today, But, why shouldn’t we be THANKFUL in ALL things? Carl and…
Thankful and Grateful
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! I am so thankful for YOU and, above all, so thankful for God’s love and blessings to us all. Carl and I had an early Thanksgiving with his family a couple of weeks ago. And tomorrow my family will be converging in East Texas. Thanksgiving! THIS IS THE DAY…
Happy Almost Thanksgiving!
I saw this adorable little girl and the version of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, read it, took it to heart, and, whoa-la — my blog for today! Thanks, God, for the inspiration! I love it when I see and hear from Him. I’ve always said, my blogs are for me AND you! Clearly, this verse from…
Worth the Wait
Sunday night I remembered I needed to buy a clear, plastic bag/purse for an upcoming event we’ll be attending this week. I needed the purse rushed to me as we are leaving town today. Amazon kept their one-day-delivery promise. It was worth the wait! I barely had to wait at all! The Waiting Game is…
A Moment of Silence
Though it is a beautiful sentiment to hear “Let us have a moment of silence for….”, I wish words of faith, hope and encouragement were said out loud. I know God hears our “inside voice” prayers, but Jesus said, “When you pray…SAY: “Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name…..” I visited with Dr. Google…
Christmas is Coming Soon
How does that statement make you feel? If you’re like many people, it may be along the lines of one or more of these scenarios: • You love the season, but your mind immediately jumps to a stressful “to-do” list.• You have absolutely no clue what present(s) to get for [whomever] — or when you’ll…
Oh, Yes, We Matter
My Bryson turns 17 today. He is my youngest grandchild and has been such a bright light in my life for these 17 years. He represents the finale of grandchildren. I’m okay with it because my life has been so full of so much joy for so many years that I am full to overflowing…
For Goodness Sake
The phrase ‘for goodness sake’ was originally used to mean for the sake of everything good or pure or decent or honest. It has since become an exclamation, expressing feelings of frustration or despair. Let’s talk about “goodness” and how we can choose daily the path of goodness over the path of despair. All of…
