Eyes Wide Open: Enjoying God in Everything
Yesterday, when Buddy (Payton’s Australian Shepherd) and I headed out for our daily walk, I seemed to be more in tune to our surroundings than usual. I’m noticing more now about the sweet times I’ve had and am having with the Wallace’s because soon this will all change. Living with them (on and off between…
Surprise! It Snowed Last Night!
I’m feelin’ the love. God’s love, that is, because yesterday morning, here in Tulsa, there was a “sprinkling” of snow everywhere. The morning welcomed me with such tenderness and peace. I just had to quickly grab a couple of photos. Though I find that peace here everytime I visit her, Mom still has her sweet…
Do You See What I See?
Have you ever looked for something that was right in front of you all the time? I could be wearing my glasses, and be looking for my glasses. I could be looking for my keys and they could be right on the counter in front of me. We could be looking for the rain to…
And I Think to Myself….What a Wonderful World
It was our first morning home after being in the hospital the two weeks before. Our family had come over the night before and removed our king size bed from our bedroom. We spent our first night home – my Honey, on his new hospital air bed, and me, on a blow-up air mattress beside…
Peace is my Governor
Yesterday, a sweet new friend I’ve met here in Austin, asked me for the website for my daily blog. Not only do I blog on my Google website, but I also post it here on Facebook: http://livinginthepeacezone.blogspot.com/ I started blogging years ago, back when it would have seemed I had every right in the world…
And That’s The Way It Goes!
My mother-in-law, who has always been known for her wit, called me a couple of nights ago and she was on a roll. Typically, it is just a “check-in” call to see how things are going, but this night she was recalling some stories of her childhood and how she and her brother got into…
What Medicine Do You Take?
If you’re like me, your medicine cabinet has just about everything you need in it for the common cold, headache, cuts, scrapes, bug bites, sunburn, tummy ache, etc. I’ve got aspirins, ointments, sprays, oils, ice packs, heating pads to help conquer the ailments at any given time. Yesterday morning, while getting ready for my day,…
What is PERFECT Peace?
A couple of weeks ago, I awoke with the words “perfect peace” going on in my mind. I’m always quoting Isaiah 26:3 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” I don’t think I’ve ever thought about PERFECT peace before. What is PERFECT peace? I did…
Do You See What I See?
Day 362 of Photo Inspirations — Do You See What I See? Though most of the festivities are over, the joy and peace of Christmas still lingers. I’m still captivated by the flickering lights that are still glowing brightly. I just love the sweet and tender atmosphere of Christmas. But, most of all, what reassurance…
A True Romance is Going On
Day 269 of Photo Inspirations — A True Romance is Going On So I’ve known romance. My husband was the truest romantic EVER. He loved candlelight, love songs, little “I love you” notes, surprise date locations, slow dancing, surprise gifts, and though I knew I wasn’t the most beautiful girl in the world, he made…
