Just Take the First Step

Oh how sweet the memories of helping my children and grandchildren take their first steps.  It was an achievement for them, but even more so, it was an achievement for us.  Jesus understands children and He understands us.  He Who created water certainly knew His ability for walking on water.  Nowhere do we read about…

From Generation to Generation

Heritage: valued objects and qualities like traditions, that have been passed down from previous generations; legacy. Check out these photos! They represent many lifetimes of memories — aunts and uncles reminiscing “the good old days”, memories of cousins playing together, of grandmas’ and grandpas’ stories of faith that sparked faith in their children and grandchildren.…

How the Tides Can Change

Home at last after a remarkable week cruising Eastern Canada and New England. Still, there truly is no place like home sweet home. The joy was doubled as my East Texas family journeyed to Austin to celebrate Mother’s Day with us. Big brother Ryan and sister Shawntel opened their welcoming, spacious home to everyone, while…

Welcome, December!

Aw! The month of Advent and Christmas, and for my Jewish friends, the beautiful, upcoming days of Hanukkah — The Festival of Lights. You may be one not-so-invested in the holidays when it seems everyone else is getting their holly-jolly-selves on! They’re cheerful, happy, all caught up in their blessing moods while you are in…

Goodnight, Sun

Aw!  A most magnificent sunset in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  Staci and Larry, my daughter and husband, recommended eating at the Bistro Blue restaurant where the food is delicious AND “if you get there in time (6:30-ish) you’ll be amazed at the most breathtaking view of sunset.”  Their advice didn’t disappoint. A sight to behold!…

The Unwelcome

I have been checking off my to-do list before leaving for East Texas tomorrow where I’ll be welcomed by my daughter and family. Of course, they will. I will be bearing goodies and gifts for them. On Christmas Day, I’ll return to my Austin Family’s home where we’ll enjoy their Christmas traditions. Then, Monday, we…
