Love Keeps on Giving and Forgiving
The day after Valentine’s Day, I took down the photo of my husband and I and the plaque that read: “A True Love Story Never Ends” from my entry shelf. But, since it’s still the “love month”, I replaced it with the one seen here. This plaque reads: “You are so loved”. I hope it’s…
Welcome, February – the Love Month
It’s the LOVE month and I am in the love mindset, as I have been for decades. I am always nostalgic this month. On February 14th, 1961, my boyfriend (and 5 years later, my groom), and I went on our first chaperoned date, chauffeured by his dad and mom to my church’s Valentine’s banquet. February…
The Only Story We’ll Regret is the One Left Untold
I have little time to scroll through my FB timeline, but when I do, I often get a bright idea for my next blog. I saw a post that inspired me to keep telling stories of my past. Even though my listeners and readers may yawn at yet another one of my Wife, Mom or…
I Love a Good Love Story
I must start this beautiful month of God’s great love with a love story. I admit it. I’m a hopeless romantic so I love hearing people’s love stories. In fact, that’s one of my “asks”, not just for table-talk, but I sincerely love hearing how couples met, fell in love and got married. Maybe I’m…
Holy Saturday – the Day After — the Day in the Middle
Here we are — the day after Jesus died. The day between death and life. A pause. A spacer. In the middle there sits the silence of Holy Saturday. If it were our loved one, today, we would be going to the funeral home to attend to the details: the coffin, the funeral, the music,…

I’m a Sap for a Good Love Story
Take for example, my second oldest grandson, he and his girlfriend just had their one-year dating anniversary. They are the cutest couple and we have welcomed his sweet girlfriend into the family with open arms already. I keep thinking any day he’ll pop “the question”. I am starry eyed at their love for each other.…

I Love a Good Love Story
One of our favorite movies was the blockbuster, “Love Story”, with Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw! While I love a good on-screen love-story movie, there is nothing like real life ones. The first chapter of my own love story began when I was a little girl seeing the adoring love that my mom and dad…
The Greatest “Once Upon a Time” Love Story Ever
Don’t you love that start to a movie or a story because you just know there’s going to be a happy ending at the end. I love thinking about my own “Once upon a time” love story, but no love story compares to this beginning….. Once upon a tree…..a Creator gave His life for His…
