Happy Thanksgiving Week!
Happy first day of Thanksgiving week to you and yours! I know that this is “game-on” week for all the culinary chefs out there – from young, first-time Thanksgiving cooks who are entertaining their families and friends to those well-seasoned cooks who carry on their annual family traditions of tasteful food favorites. There is so…
Wondering What God’s Will is For Your Life?
It’s Fall so I chose the most colorful Fall photo to emphasize my point today. I added 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 to it PLUS enlarging the print on that POINT: “FOR THIS IS GOD’s WILL FOR YOU and , whoa-la — my blog for today! Thanks, God, for the inspiration! I love it when I see…
Do You Get Caught Up in the Winds?
In Rusk, TX where they are working relentlessly on their property that will be a blessing to many, I received this text message from my daughter on Thursday: “It’s intense here; 60+ mph winds! Our contractors are having to take measures on our house so that it doesn’t come apart. Please pray for secure protection…
Why Men are so Happy
I don’t think I’ve ever said to God: “Why didn’t you make me a man instead of a woman?” God made me ME, and though I’ve sort of wished I’d been able to have given God a hand when He hand-crafted me and my exterior (i.e., “Why the ski-slope nose, skin that requires abundant sun…
It’s Time to Flip the Script
A couple of days ago I blogged about this wonderful new season of Fall making its debut. Gratitude commenced with great expectations. Despite the pandemic and political unrest, we still live in a land where life is good. We take many things for granted. The air conditioning stayed on, and we awoke to a comfortable…
More Than One Touch
I can’t take the credit for the following words, but I can take the credit for sharing them with you. As I know so many that are struggling right now — wondering when their prayers will be answered, when the miracle they’ve hoped for will come to pass, pleading with God for His touch in…
Happy Memorial and Gratitude Day!
I stepped on the grounds of St. Vincent de Paul Church Saturday night and this sight welcomed me. I had to snap the photo. Those flags are a reminder of the freedoms and liberties that our brave servicemen and women gave their lives for and continue to remind us of those serving today. And, they…
Hospitality Par Excellence
Our family is mixing it up this Christmas. It started with my Christmas wish at Thanksgiving when most all of us were together, except for the two oldest who couldn’t make it. I expressed my Christmas wish for ALL of us to be together at some point between then and Christmas. An ulterior motive for…
It’s Black Friday!! Let the Christmas Season Begin!
Last year, I mixed up Thanksgiving and Christmas with both décor strategically placed throughout my home. But this year, though I put up my outside lights (note my two youngest grands modeling my lights for me), I didn’t want to rush past this time of expressing my gratitude for God’s blessings this year. In my…
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…
