Love Stories and the Greatest Love of All
Here I go again — another love story unfolding in our family! Last month, on Valentine’s Day, my fourth grandson, Brennan, proposed to his sweetheart, Kylie, marking the start of a beautiful new chapter. And just three weeks later, on March 8th, my only granddaughter, Alexia, said “yes” to her sweetheart, Winston. And just like…
Like a Mighty Rushing Wind
It is Pentecost Sunday! If ever there were reasons to celebrate, it is this day! Acts 2:1-2 says “And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were…
Bring on the Romance with Love Songs
It’s just a few days until Valentine’s Day so it’s time to get our love songs play list ready to go! When my then-boyfriend (later, my husband) and I were dating, we had a favorite “puppy love” song, Bobby Vee’s “My Venus in Blue Jeans” — LOL! As we continued dating, we crooned over “Hey…
The Keys to a Happy, Lifelong Marriage
esterday, my blog spoke of the everlasting love of God and the work-out it takes for an everlasting marriage. I know both well. When I wrote that blog, I remembered a blog I posted years ago that received more likes and comments than any I had received before. That means it must have been needed…
I Will — With All My Heart
Many years ago, I stood at an altar as Rev. Herbert Wuerch said these words: “Will you love him all the days of your life?” That was a serious question and as a young bride, I had no idea the journey that would be ahead. I would be replying to not just my soon-to-be father-in-law…
Those Winds are Blowing Again
A couple of weeks ago, when I was staying with my grandsons and Bentley, their dog, while their mom and dad were away, a strong, fierce-sounding storm came rolling through. Bentley sure was afraid of the hard rain, lightning and thundering. In my moment of weakness and love for this little dog, I made a…
The Allure of Love Songs
It’s just a few days until Valentine’s Day so it’s time to get your love songs play list ready to go! When my then-boyfriend (later, my husband) and I were dating, we had a favorite “puppy love” song, Bobby Vee’s “My Venus in Blue Jeans” — LOL! As we continued dating, we crooned over “Hey…
And God Said……
I thought I had exhausted God’s early morning wonders, but not so yesterday. As I snapped this view of the sun’s rays, I thought: “And God said…..” Oh, if ever we needed God’s “saids” with clarity, it is in these times. I sensed He was “saying” and we only need to lend an ear. A…
Thanks for the Memories, Kenny
So what’s a girl to do on a day when she hears that a dear friend has passed away – especially when she’s in quarantine because of the C-virus? And, when she gets many text messages from friends and family who offer her condolences. She remembers. And, she recalls the love she shared with her…
The Sound of a Rushing Mighty Wind
As I made my way home from church, the skies began to darken and the wind started blowing hard. I was thankful to get inside before the torrential rain began. I thought that my trees might break because they were bent over so far. I started saying “Peace. Be still. In the name of Jesus”,…
