And They Became One
Yesterday was a day I’ll cherish forever—a day filled with love, laughter, and family at a beautiful venue in Driftwood, Texas. My heart is so full, not just as a proud Nana, but as a witness to the joy of two souls becoming one in marriage. The weather was perfect—clear skies with just enough breeze…
Embrace the Set-Ups
I was a widow for thirteen years. During that “season”, a dear friend set me up with one of her clients. She thought he would be a “perfect match” for me. He was a widower of three months, a devout Christian who enjoyed traveling and missions work, and was ready for love again. Not particularly…
The Sweet Payoff of Love
Wednesday night, at our church’s family dinner (a weekly blessing), we sat across from the cutest couple who married in December. He is 90 years old; she is 86. They are just recently out and about because three days before they married, she fell, broke her nose and required stitches from her nose to her…
The Sunflowers are Abundant
The family that captures memories together……STAYS TOGETHER…. in love, in support, in encouragement, and in MEMORIES! We missed our two granddaughters: Adeline, Carl’s granddaughter who is a cheerleader at Westlake High School in Austin and couldn’t miss “Senior” night at the football game. And my Alexia, who is attending ministry school in Nashville. But, sooner…
A Thousand Generations
I heard this story and just had to share it with my friends. A busy father was looking for a way to entertain his young daughter. He found a map of the world in a magazine and cut it into pieces. He gave the pieces to his child and suggested she try to piece the…
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…
WITH GOD — Nothing is impossible
We can count on it! I apologize right up front for this being an almost redundant blog each year on this day. But, each year, I think about what the Lord did, and I can’t help but celebrate. This story is made possible…..only, WITH GOD. Today is the 26th anniversary of my children – Larry…
The Keys to a Happy, Lifelong Marriage
esterday, my blog spoke of the everlasting love of God and the work-out it takes for an everlasting marriage. I know both well. When I wrote that blog, I remembered a blog I posted years ago that received more likes and comments than any I had received before. That means it must have been needed…
And They Lived Happily Ever After
I’m still sappy during this Love Month. I felt like a Queen Mother after Prince Charming (my son) showed up with a bouquet of flowers (intentional with yellow roses – his dad and my favorites), then rushed to open the car door to take me on a Valentine’s lunch date. He gave me full attention…
2022 is a Good Year for Getting Engaged
I love the look of love in someone’s eyes who is expecting a marriage proposal any minute. I heard someone say “2022 is my year for getting engaged!” And I thought “So am I”. Of course, hers meant a forthcoming proposal of marriage. Mine is about being engaged by honoring and respecting the people in…
