Living in the Peace Zone
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!…
Ever hear these words: “Don’t keep looking in the rear-view mirror”? What they mean is “Stop looking at the past and the mistakes you made.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 says: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, old things are passed away and all things have become new!” That’s good! But, sometimes looking back reminds us of…
My daughter, granddaughter and I – out of just a suggestion to make a subtle change in their coffee table – suddenly found ourselves with said coffee table in their barn making drastic changes to it! That was back in November! We talked about how this coffee table was where Alexia got her standing-up bearings…
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…
With “Joy to the World” and all the other songs of goodwill and glad tidings that describe this season, I would be remiss to think that we are all in a perky, celebratory mood. I know there are many that can hardly wait for this season to be in the “rear-view” mirror. I know it…
It isn’t the money in my wallet or the car I drive or home I live in. It isn’t the TV show that makes me laugh or the movie I see that inspires me. Nothing can compare with the priceless gratitude moments that represent my favorite things. As I was writing this blog after just…
I apologize for the consistent “going home” blogs for many days now. I guess I can’t help myself. The “going home” part of our lives is a crowning achievement for those of us who believe there is life after death. My dear mother-in-law exited this life on earth, Saturday, October 15th, and her life here-after…
These days I do a lot of reminiscing. I’m not looking in a rear-view mirror to pine away at the memories of the past. I go back in time to cherish the sweetest times when God proved His faithfulness time and again. While our precious family from Canada has been here, we did some of…
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…
I read that Krispy Kreme celebrated its 85th birthday on July 13th. AND, to celebrate, from July 11th through July 14th, they chose multiple guests each day to receive an 85th birthday card worth a dozen free glazed donuts a month for a year. I’m sorry I missed the big celebration! Well, not really. The…
