Clear Conscience = Sweet Sleep
Yesterday I spoke about the beauty of rest — even for a few minutes in the middle of my day. Let’s take it a step further today! Have you ever noticed how good it feels to lay your head on the pillow at night when your heart is at peace? A clear conscience really does…
Breaker – Breaker 1-9
“Got a copy?” “How do you read me?” “Got your ears on?” If you were around in the 70s or 80s, you’ll recognize those words as good old CB (Citizens Band) radio talk. And yes — I was a CB-er! My handle? “Honeybee.” I’d buzz across the airwaves and say to a trucker, “You’ve got…
When Groucho Marx Shows Up at Prayer Group
There’s something beautiful about gathering with other grandmothers to pray for our grandchildren. The first Monday of every month, we circle up, share our hearts, and bring our precious ones before our Heavenly Father, knowing He loves them even more than we do. It’s a holy moment — a time when we boldly declare God’s…
Thanksgiving Starts with THANK YOU!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, but why wait to start giving thanks? Happy Thanksgiving to all my wonderful social media friends and family! THANK YOU for shining brightly with God’s love and encouraging me along the way. You are such a blessing to me! As a kid, did your mom or dad ever nudge you with a…
Breaking News: God is Still on His Throne
When I published my Saturday’s blog and this image: “Breaking News – God is still in Control OF EVERY SITUATION – No Need to Panic”, I had no idea of the horrendous events that would take place later in the day. One of my blog readers commented with this one word: “Prophetic”! As I type…
Celebrating Our Fathers
Father’s Day has arrived and my heart is filled with love and gratitude for the incredible fathers in my life. Each one has left an indelible mark, and today, I want to celebrate them all. First, my dad who was very ill until he passed on when I was just 15. He was a hardworking…
Being Specific with our Praises
In the hallway at my church, I saw a mom kneeling (being at her son’s level), looking straight into his eyes, saying, “I am so proud of you for doing that. You are such a kind and generous boy!” I was impressed. And, I was impressed when Carl and I were visiting his family last…
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…
Celebrating Fathers
Happy Father’s Day to all the great dads! You know who you are – biological or adoptive, father-figure, or father-mentor, you are truly appreciated and loved. I especially want to give a shout out to all the fathers who, regardless of their circumstances, step up to the plate and do their part in parenting. I…
Run to those Open Arms
Okay! Maybe I’m a “stuck record”! An FYI to the kids who don’t know what “stuck record” means – it refers to the needle on a record player that got stuck on a record and we kept hearing the same lyrics over and over. In my case, it means I can’t move off the story…
