I Waved Farewell to the Past
The Word of the Day: PAST — no longer existing. Remember the Von Trapp Family in the “Sound of Music” singing “So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, good-bye”? That’s what I did on New Year’s Eve.” The PAST is now the PAST. And, what a way to say farewell than in a predominately African American crowd…
The Bright Light of Christmas is With Us
· While “The Wallace’s” and I were driving home from Austin yesterday, I was already thinking “I’m going to take down my Christmas decor’ as soon as possible since I’ll be going out of town next week and I want to come back home to a fresh clean slate in the new year of new…
God is Really, Really With Us
I’ve become an avid “noticer”. A noticer is one who observes, notices, and pays attention to details — not one like my husband who would notice and identify flaws in home construction or a musical composition and performance (just ask my Staci about how he “noticed” everything — like the sound quality, her word pronunciation,…
Good Tidings of Comfort and Joy
Christmas carols are heard everywhere. The twinkling lights that remind us of the Light of Christ are dancing on homes. Little children are getting more excited every day for Santa’s arrival on Christmas Eve. Kitchens are filled with the heavenly aromas of Christmas goodies. Whether you’re a minimalist and decorate your home with simple, yet…
Do You See What I See?
Have you ever looked for something that was right in front of you all the time? I could be wearing my glasses, and be looking for my glasses. I could be looking for my keys and they could be right on the counter in front of me. We could be looking for the rain to…
Cornish Hens, A Street Sign and Noticing and Pondering
Lately, I’ve seemed to be more of a noticer AND a ponderer than ever before. Both words seem to be encased in the traditions of Christmas. I’m in good company. The shepherds were noticers of the angels who broke the news of their Savior’s birth. The Wise Men were noticers of the star that led…
GOD WITH US…..All the Time
God is always with us and we often take it for granted. The Creator of you and me, and everything that was and is and is to come — is with us. Have you had moments when you sensed Him so close? Maybe it was while you were praying or singing a song or holding…
Do You See What I See?
Day 362 of Photo Inspirations — Do You See What I See? Though most of the festivities are over, the joy and peace of Christmas still lingers. I’m still captivated by the flickering lights that are still glowing brightly. I just love the sweet and tender atmosphere of Christmas. But, most of all, what reassurance…
Merry Christmas!
Day 312 of Photo Inspirations — MERRY CHRISTMAS Just look at this sweet sunbeam! Yesterday, I walked into Reasor’s Grocery Store in Jenks, the cafe side. The cashier at that side of the store, Beverly, was beaming from ear-to-ear and greeted me, “Good Morning! It’s a great day for sweaters, isn’t it (I had on…
I Need Directions To……………
Day 149 of Photo Inspirations — I Need Directions To……… A few days ago, as my friends and I had our morning walk, we were talking about prayer and if we have an awareness of “God With Us” wherever we go, and whatever we are doing, then we don’t have to be in a certain…
