He Believed in Me
Let me tell you about this man. If He hadn’t believed in me….I would have thrown in the towel during rough patches in my life. Those patches when I was shy, lacking confidence, and weak in faith and hope. If He hadn’t believed in me…I wouldn’t have followed His call on my heart to be…
Never will I Leave You or Forsake You
That title conjures up fond memories of promises made by a parent, a close friend, a boyfriend or girlfriend or a spouse that they would never leave or forsake me. But, they didn’t/couldn’t keep their promise. Every one of those relationships DID leave me. Aw! But I CAN guarantee that there is ONE Who keeps…
In the Meantime
An old song went like this: “In the meantime, in between time, ain’t we got fun?” I wish they had said “don’t we have fun?” But the point I am making is the “In the meantime” – no matter the problems, concerns and worries….there’s still a place for fun – if we would just look…
Welcome, December!
Aw! The month of Advent and Christmas, and for my Jewish friends, the beautiful, upcoming days of Hanukkah — The Festival of Lights. You may be one not-so-invested in the holidays when it seems everyone else is getting their holly-jolly-selves on! They’re cheerful, happy, all caught up in their blessing moods while you are in…
The First Got the Party Started
It’s a happy 31st birthday to my FIRST grandchild, Braden Cole Wuerch. Though the love is no stronger for any of my six grandchildren from the other, there is still “something” about the FIRST. This first photo is big brother, Braden, and younger bros! Who knew that we would be like all those photo-toting, beaming-from-ear-to-ear…
If I Were God, I Would Have….
Good thing I’m NOT God because I would have sure messed things up many times over with my ideas, thoughts, and desires. Garth Brooks sang “I thank God for unanswered prayers.” And I agree, I thank God for not answering many of my prayers If He had answered ‘yes’ to many of those prayers, no…
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…
