Happy Presidents’ Day
I researched and found this day began as a way of celebrating President George Washington’s Birthday. Now this federal holiday honors all U.S. presidents on this day. Do we acknowledge, with gratitude, what our presidents sacrificed and did for us? Why would anyone, including our current president, desire this position? What is it about the…
Love is an Action Word
My son is a speed reader. He must be. With his businesses and on the board of several companies, he must read and review tons of documents and correspondence. If he wasn’t a speed reader, he’d be bogged down with more paperwork than he could handle. I’ve become a speed reader, too! And there lies…
The Chapters of My Love Story
The first chapter of my love story began when I was a little girl seeing the adoring love that my mom and dad had for each other. I witnessed their sweet affection for each other. In fact, my dad couldn’t keep his hands off my mom. “Roscoe, QUIT!” She would cry out when he was…
Who is YOUR Coach?
Congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs on their Super Bowl win! And, “maybe next year” are the words we say about “our” teams. I still have everlasting hope for my Cowboys! I know little about what it takes to win a championship, but I like to think that those who honor God and appreciate His…
Kisses — Sweeter than Wine — Happy Valentine’s Day!
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — for your love is more delightful than wine.” How’s that for a Valentine’s Day opener? Sounds like something out of a romance novel, doesn’t it? It is way more. It is straight from God’s Holy Word, the Song of Solomon 1:2. God intended us…
A Striking Resemblance
People often say my daughter resembles me and my granddaughter resembles her, and I resemble my mother. It’s undeniable – we were all cast from the same mold. My son is undeniably, His dad’s son. They resemble each other. While I love that compliment “Your daughter and granddaughter certainly look like you” – most importantly…
I’m a Thankful Mess
My niece sent me this photo of her grandson whose parents are out of town. Yes, this little guy has taken over her home. Eventually she gets to tidy up, but then the little guy unloads this toys all over again. But, this grandmother is thankful to be able to clean up his messes. This…
Learning to Dance — Whatever the Weather
This is the season when I go to my trusty cellphone to check what the weather will look like today and even the days to come. We must do that if we’re planning a trip or just wondering whether we need to take a sweater or parka with us. I brought it all on this…
Friends Rub Off On Us Like Chalk
I saw this graphic, then read what it was about. The young students were asked to give an illustrative talk. One youngster came to the front of the classroom, then wrote “FRIENDS” on the chalkboard. Then he asked another student to come up and wipe their hand on the word. The message in the action…
Beaming with Pride and Joy
Living in Austin, one of the many perks for me is to be a part of my two youngest grandsons’ lives. Last Saturday, Shawntel and I spent the day at the Delco Center watching my youngest grandson, Bryson, in his District Wrestling Match. Though a sophomore, he is determined, strong and agile thus moving from…
