Homeward Bound
Homeward Bound. After a beautiful Sunday brunch with the bride and groom, and the rest of the out-of-towners, we gave all our hugs and best wishes and we were then headed out in the Motorcoach again for our return trip to Frisco. I just had to post this sweet photo of Braden carrying Ruth across…
Dr. Whirlwind and Dr. Peace — Relax. Trust Me.
Six years ago my sweetheart was in for another hospital adventure. We were still learning some very important lessons on our faith journey. I needed an extra dose of peace yesterday, so I thought about those lessons. I had some good reminders and thought maybe my FB family could use some of those lessons too.…
Journey. Adventure. Wander.
Day 168 of Photos Inspirations — Journey. Adventure. Wander. On the road back home today. What a great week we’ve had in Minnesota. Without a doubt, hanging with the grandkids, being a part of their lives and celebrating the foundations that are being laid in their future is one of my greatest joys. Payton was…
Let’s Go On A Treasure Hunt
Day 146 of Photo Inspirations — Let’s Go On A Treasure Hunt I admit it…..I love the notion of finding hidden treasures. This must be my impedus for doing treasure hunts for my grandkids — for every birthday since they understood what it was about — but even before they could read. The big kids…
Happiness is in the Journey — Not the Destination
“Are we there yet?” We don’t hear those words so often today from our kids because they’re entertained by their iPads and DVDs in the cars. But, I well remember, as a kid, when my family took the long road trips to West Virginia where my big sister and her family lived, saying those words…
God Has a Plan — STAND!
At age 14, I was a volunteer Candy Striper at a Dallas hospital. The unique title went with the candy cane, red & white-striped pinafores that we wore. In those days, I aspired to become a nurse, so I took flowers and mail to patients, refilled their water jugs, and other incidental duties. But, those…
Fight the Good Fight of Faith
Last night, the gals from my Life Group embraced one of our members whose dear husband went to heaven two years ago, yesterday. At dinner she shared what a wonderful husband and dad he was, as well as being a brave soldier in the Vietnam war. Then we went to see “Heaven is For Real”.…
Learning to Dance in the Rain
When the storms of life come, it’s quite easy to nestle down all snug as a bug in a rug, and just wait for them to pass. After all, who wants to go outside when it’s lightning and thundering and the winds are blowing 90 miles an hour? It’s also quite easy to complain about…
Him I Will Keep in Perfect Peace Whose Mind is Stayed on Me
That’s my sweetheart in the photo – so at peace during one of our Belize missions. I posted this message, 25 days after we received the Stage 4 Kidney Cancer diagnosis. I have friends encountering some major life storms, as we did, and I want to share how we made it through the rough waters.…
STOP…..and Smell the Roses!!!
Yesterday, I stopped by a garden center to check out some trees for my yard. The aroma of the Spring flowers was overwheming when I walked in! Immediately, I thought “I need to get some flowers!” Those fragrant, fresh smells almost led me astray because the nursery rep told me, for Tulsa, it’s still too…
