Just Like Our Heavenly Father
Of course, we have great love for our children – we are just like our Heavenly Father! I was thrilled when I recently saw the Facebook post of a precious young woman that I, and many others, had been praying for. Her greatest desire and prayer was to be able to conceive a baby. It…
Just a Jesus Follower
“Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” Those words were said by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:1. And, I’ll just ride the coattails of Paul – because those are my words, too! But, it’s more than words…..it is words in action. It isn’t just talking the talk – but also…
Navigating this Life
This is my sweet granddaughter, who has been here with me for the last few days. We did girl stuff together and on Sunday, enjoyed family stuff with Uncle Ryan and cousin, Karlei. Precious time with my girl. Alexia will be leaving in a few weeks for Nashville where she will be attending Legacy School…
God’s Kids are NOT For Sale
After seeing the promotions about the true story movie, “Sound of Freedom”, we saw the movie on Monday, the 3rd. Now, I am urging everyone in the sound of my voice and the words of my blog to see it as soon as possible. It is in major theaters all over. The movie is based…
Eyes Wide Open to Notice Miracles
I have a friend who reminds herself each day to “notice small miracles.” This isn’t only a phrase that she recalls to mind, but rather an attitude that she has chosen as a theme for her life. She started the practice of noticing moments of goodness and beauty during a time of a family crisis,…
Homeward Bound — Bentley’s Incredible Journey
A saying goes: “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”. That is correct except that the beholder may not be able to physically see. On the other hand, I know some incredible sight-impaired people who see with their heart. I think that’s called their 6th sense. In the case of our precious 14-years-old Bentley,…
Can You Give Me a Hand?
A moving train of people helped our neighbor move from an upper floor to an apartment on the first floor. She merely posted in our residents’ Facebook group: “Many of you have offered to help me move. I am ready to accept help. SO…… if you have a wagon and can carry a couple medium…
MAY it Be
We celebrated May 1st as the start of a very full month of activities. What a blessing it was to kick it off with attending our Texas Governor’s Prayer Breakfast. May 2nd, Brennan’s exciting baseball season ended. We were happy they won their district playoffs. Next baseball season will be at University of Mary Hardin…
Antidote for Sleeplessness
So, I’m a light sleeper and a little sleeper and sometimes, a nap-sleeper. Here’s the deal. From young childhood years through today, I’ve been an “early bird” riser. Four to five a.m. is my up and at ’em time. And I’m not exactly early-to-bed at night. Four or five hours of sleep is usual and…
The Only Story We’ll Regret is the One Left Untold
I have little time to scroll through my FB timeline, but when I do, I often get a bright idea for my next blog. I saw a post that inspired me to keep telling stories of my past. Even though my listeners and readers may yawn at yet another one of my Wife, Mom or…
