The Week of Love
A morning online search led me to info I never knew. Apparently, Valentine’s Week in India officially began February 7th when couples start celebrating the month of love with romantic gifts, heartwarming surprises, and spending quality time with each other. “Bring on the love” is what I say! What not have a week of expressions…
If I Had a Do-Over
Roll back the curtains of memories now and then! That’s what I was doing when I remembered this time of year when my daughter and family lived in Seattle. Payton and Alexia attended Bellevue Christian School. Often, Staci would call me on their way home from school. This day, I heard Alexia shouting in the…
Take Me Out to the Ballgame
My dreams came true. We’ve always been a fan of any of our grandchildren’s pursuits in life and did our best to not miss any of them. We didn’t want to miss anything they were competing at, but most seasons – they lived in different states and we could only follow them by their parents’…
Do They Know Us By Our Love?
I attended a monthly meeting this week and someone said, “They will know we are Christians by our love!” Immediately I thought of a 60’s song by that title. The song and that statement “They will know we are Christians by our love” come from John 13:35: “This is how everyone will know that you…
What Matters Most is Walking in Love
The Love Month is well underway, love is in the air, and today is my children’s 22nd wedding anniversary (see my separate post that honors their love story). I’m on purpose to awaken our senses to not just “talk the talk” but “walk the walk of love”. God IS LOVE and the lesson He wants…

Increase the Love Dosage
This little gal is one of Bryson’s friends. Her shirt inspired me — “Do all things with love!” 1 Corinthians 16:14 “Do everything in love.” Valentine’s Day ended four days ago and I wonder how many are still enjoying the outpouring of love they received on that day. And, what about those who are thrilled…
What Matters Most is Love
Yesterday, I posted about it being the “The Love Month”, sincerely hoping to awaken our senses to being people that love from the heart this month. It was like getting a high-5 from God when later in the day, I opened one of my resource books, Rick Warren’s “The Purpose Drive Life”, to the chapter…
Increase the Love Dosage
Day 18 in this Month of Love — Increase the Love Dosage Valentine’s Day ended four days ago and I wonder how many are still enjoying the outpouring of love they received on that day. And, what about those who are thrilled all the hoopla about Valentine’s is over with? Whether we were celebrated or…
