Thankful is an Understatement
Happy Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for YOU, my beloved family and friends who are ever-afters. What are “ever-afters”? Those are the ones who aren’t with us for just a day, just a reason, or just a season. Ever-afters are those who we grab their hand and shoulder-to-shoulder, heart to heart live our lives with…
Want to be Thankful with Me Today?
We are still under the “boil water”notice that was issued for all Austin Water customers Saturday night due to an “internal treatment process issue that resulted in high turbidity within the Ullrich Water Treatment plant.” In addition, emergency water restrictions were issued, meaning residents are asked to conserve water. So what is all the fuss…
Happy Thanks-giving and Grateful for Thanks-Living
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so thankful for YOU! I’m thankful you’re my friend, family member or casual acquaintance, but the fact that you may read my daily blogs from time to time, humbles me, and encourages me to keep on doing what I know God called me to do. THANK YOU for your love! I’m so…
Welcome, Fall! You Made It! Whoo-hoo!
September 22nd was the first day of fall. I let it slip up on me and pass me by. Maybe it did for you, too! Fall evokes so many sensual pleasures – the yummy pumpkin spice coffee and aromas that abound from aromatics and cooking. More than the sensual pleasures, what I love most about…

And she went on to feel sorry for those college students who are delayed in their graduations and other friends…
God is Good….All the Time. All the Time….God is Good.
Some years ago, the phrase “God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good” became popular. It was given in a call-and-response pattern. Our African Associate Pastor, in his beautiful African accent, begins every message he gives with “God is good!” And, he waits until we reply “All the time!” Then he…
Thankful to “Thank” My Way Through Thanksgiving
It’s Thanksgiving week when we amp up the hearts of gratitude for the many blessings in our lives. This morning I woke up and……oh, let’s begin there. I woke up. I got out of bed. Oh, I’m so thankful for my bed and a good night’s sleep. I got out of bed. Oh, I got…
Always Something To Be Thankful For
Day 332 of Photo Inspirations — Always Something To Be Thankful For Thanksgiving Day is past, yet the turkey leftovers and a few extra pounds are still with us. The best of what remains is still the sweet atmosphere of gratitude. I’m so grateful for the time with my family and especially grateful to celebrate…
Gratitude Even in the Toughest Times
Day 262 of Photo Inspirations — Gratitude Even in the Toughest Times Last night, my Life Group’s discussion was about gratitude. I asked them to write down 10 things they are grateful for in one minute. Some beat the minute and wrote down even more things. I did the exercise, yesterday morning. I gave…
