A Striking Resemblance
People often say my daughter resembles me and my granddaughter resembles her, and I resemble my mother. It’s undeniable – we were all cast from the same mold. My son is undeniably, His dad’s son. They resemble each other. While I love that compliment “Your daughter and granddaughter certainly look like you” – most importantly…
Love is in the Air
Because of our electricity going out at my apartment community from the ice storm, my children encouraged me to come to their home to stay. I didn’t hesitate. It was especially wonderful to be there for a yummy roast dinner AND enjoy the company of Shawntel’s dad and wife. Honestly, since they married seven years…
Do They Know Us By Our Love?
I attended a monthly meeting this week and someone said, “They will know we are Christians by our love!” Immediately I thought of a 60’s song by that title. The song and that statement “They will know we are Christians by our love” come from John 13:35: “This is how everyone will know that you…
FEBRUARY – The Love Month
My Word of the Day is FEBRUARY – defined in Webster’s dictionary as the second month of the year – ordinarily containing 28 days, but with 29 days in leap years. No big deal. How did FEBRUARY make my Word of the Day list? Because I’m adding a definition from Donna’s dictionary – it’s the…
Valentine’s Day — “Bah Humbug”
I’ve been very intentional to post a lot of “love” messages this month. You see, February 14th has been a precious day for me since I was 12 years old. Well, maybe even before that when we decorated shoe boxes for receiving Valentine cards from our schoolmates. Up until February 14th, 1961, the cards I…

Are YOU Always on Your Mind?
Day 20 of this Month of Love — Are YOU always on YOUR mind? Mark 12:31 says “Love your neighbor as you love yourself!” That’s a lot to live up to, but that’s what God tells us to do. But loving ourselves is one thing, and having ourselves ALWAYS on OUR mind is a whole…
L-O-V-E Let Our Voices Encourage
Day 19 in this Month of Love: L-O-V-E Let Our Voices EncourageI love encouraging women about their place in God’s great scheme of things. The Bible speaks of older women training the younger women – and that’s not only in age but in spirit. I’m here, Girls, to show you – you do survive!!! How’s…
Valentine’s “Bah Humbug”
I don’t think I explained about my Month of Love posts. It’s been very intentional. You see, February 14th has been a precious day for me since I was 12 years old. Well, maybe even before that when we decorated shoe boxes for receiving Valentine cards from our schoolmates. Up till February 14th, 1961, the…
I LOVE Chocolate
Day 12 in this Month of Love — I LOVE Chocolate How can I be celebrating the Month of Love without celebrating my LOVE for chocolate? Actually, I am a recovering chocoholic. I’m not near as addicted as I was when the sweet, savory and delectible chocolate treats DIDN’T go to my hips! LOL! Last…
