Be AnxIous for Nothing (No-Thing)!
Notice the letter in the middle of the word “anxious” — it’s an I. When I am handling MY affairs, when I am the one in charge, when I rely on myself for the outcome of MY decisions and plans, then I can easily get ANXIOUS about every-thing! Yesterday, I practiced those words “Be anxious…
It’s All About Him……NOT ME!
It’s All About Him……NOT ME! In years past, my Christmas traditions started right after Thanksgiving. I loved this time of the year so much that I decorated every bedroom with its own fully decorated, lit tree. The inside and outside of the house looked like a Christmas Store. I had several nativity sets throughout my…
Living Life Out Loud
Living life out loud on Facebook has sure been an encouragement to me. I have found sweet peace in writing, which by the way, has been a gift I didn’t even realize I had. FB also became a place of solace because it connected me to thousands of friends, and family members. I needed that…
Forget the diamonds. A backpack is what I want!
Forget the diamonds. A backpack is what I want! I read a friend’s FB post a few days ago, and I, along with many others, were so touched by this Mom’s love story. It is a love story that her sweet little 6-year old daughter is experiencing. The Mom started her post with….”When a man…
Whole Lotta’ Infusion Going On
Whole Lotta’ Infusion Going On Infusion — To fill or cause to be filled with something. That word resonated within me when I heard about a friend’s husband’s recent cancer surgery. Infusion is a word that my Sweetheart and I became all too familiar with during the course of his battle against cancer. He had…
Had Any Knee Jerk Reactions Lately?
Had Any Knee Jerk Reactions Lately? I had a huge decision to make. “Should I say “yes” or should I say “no”. Should I stay or should I go?” Ever been faced with some tough decisions and rather than waiting to hear the voice of God, we just couldn’t sit idly still….we had to make…
Fighting the Good Fight of Faith
(This is one of my first ever blogs, June 12, 2010. I repost today because I thought, just maybe one of my FB friends could see how my Sweetheart and I “fought the good fight of faith” during his illness, 6 years ago. It blessed me then, it blesses me now — NEVER stop fighting…
LOVE is Sharing the Journey
Many times in life, we find ourselves, hand-in-hand and side-by-side with others on similar faith journeys. This is a story about Shannon Brill Rziha, a precious friend, wife and mother of three young children who passed from this life to heaven five years ago February 11th. I am compelled to share about her because she…
Re-membering
Re-membering (I know my FB posts are longer than suggested, but I’m on purpose. I know most wouldn’t click the blogspot link, so I post in both places.) This post was written 5 years ago, and it bears repeating — especially for those who have lost a loved one and for those who just don’t…
Seed Time and Harvest
#TBT This is the Master’s Four Quartet in the early 70s. Check out those “matching” dresses on the girls and the matching suits, ties and shirts on the guys. And how about that trendy “bee hive” that I wore. Those curls you put on top of your head were the “in thing” back then, and…
