Mind Your Posture
My word for today is “posture”: the position isomeone holds their body when standing or sitting; an approach or attitude, point of view, frame of mind. My Mom was always on the lookout for me to have good posture. She’d be standing behind me and would take her hands and pull back my shoulders. After…
Live as Children of the LIGHT.
My word for today is LIGHT: the brightness that dispels darkness. Christmas LIGHTS are getting scarce now as most of us have taken down the LIGHTS from our homes and businesses, and packed them away for another year. Now, it’s up to us to represent and be THE LIGHT to our family, our neighbors and…

HOPE, means “the exciting expectation that something GOOD is about to happen”. Yesterday, I knew what that’s about — based on my grandchildren’s GREAT EXPECTATIONS about what last night held for them.
