He Walked Among Us and We Walk with Him
Today is Ascension Thursday — a day many believers don’t realize carries as much awe as Easter morning. We often shout “He is risen!” And rightfully so. But do we whisper the second half of the miracle? He stayed a while — for 40 extra days! For forty days — after coming out of that…
Pope Francis’ Trip to Heaven
On Easter Monday morning, Pope Francis made his final journey — this time, straight into the arms of the One he loved and served so faithfully. Just hours after offering his last Easter blessing from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, he stepped into glory. What timing! What triumph! I believe heaven rang with Hallelujahs,…
Celebrating 40 More Days of Easter Joy
Maybe you’re wondering, “Is Donna still talking about Easter?” Oh yes, I am — and with good reason! Easter Sunday wasn’t the finale — it was the opening act of the greatest encore in history. The Resurrection was just the beginning. Jesus didn’t rise and vanish. He lingered for 40 glorious days, continuing to walk,…
40 More Days of Easter
Hold it! The Easter season (the resurrection of our Lord and His time on earth before ascending to heaven) is still underway. For 40 days after His resurrection, Jesus was “in and out” of places and people’s lives during that time. He was showing up when they least expected Him. Can you imagine being one…
A Brand New Life
Last June, my son’s family’s precious 14-year-old Havanese, Bentley, went to doggy heaven. We closed that chapter of caring for him and making him feel comfortable, but the love for him will never leave us. We’ll forever cherish the precious memories of Bentley growing up with my four Wuerch grandsons. It really is like losing…
Step into Spring
Spring begins today, March 19, 2024. Usually, it’s March 20 or 21, but because it’s a leap year, February gets an extra day. The season moves up a little on the calendar. Either way, the first day of Spring is always a little over a week after daylight saving time. But, with all that info,…
Salt or NO Salt
Happy March! Let’s keep MARCHING ON!For years, I have embraced this time of the year for not only a time of Lent (from Ash Wednesday to the Saturday before Easter) and introspection of this “temple of the Holy Spirit” that God gave me (and you). 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says: “Do you not know that your…
The Week of Love
A morning online search led me to info I never knew. Apparently, Valentine’s Week in India officially began February 7th when couples start celebrating the month of love with romantic gifts, heartwarming surprises, and spending quality time with each other. “Bring on the love” is what I say! What not have a week of expressions…
Forty More Days of Easter
HOLD IT! We’re not done yet! I took the bunnies and Easter eggs down from my front door’s vignettes, but the cross still hangs along with Springtime decor’. I am still reminded that there were 40 days before Christ’s ascension. The Easter season (the resurrection of our Lord and His time on earth before ascending…
Let’s Take a Walk
I’ve loved seeing the Easter photos of families enjoying their Easter celebrations – their new Easter clothes, meals together, and egg hunts. My youngest two grands (16 and 18) still hunt for the eggs that their mama “rabbit” hid in their back yard. I know Mama Rabbit’s story – she wants to hold onto the…
