Being Thankful When It Isn’t Easy
In my post, yesterday, I welcomed this week of Thanksgiving. One day just isn’t enough for us to express our gratitude for God’s goodness and mercy for so many blessings. I know, however, Thanksgiving isn’t always a joyous and thankful time for everyone. I know that life is going terribly wrong for some people who…
How Do You Fight Your Battles?
How Do You Fight Your Battles? Do you bear any bruises and scars from battles that you may have been in lately– maybe in the political arena or even in your home or workplace? On Sunday, I encountered a very well trained cashier at a store who was courteous, friendly, and even gave me a…
“Let EVERY-THING That Has Breath Praise the Lord!”
My word for the day is PRAISE: expressing warm approval or admiration of.someone; applaud, pay tribute to, speak highly of”. A few years ago, my grandson, Payton Wallace took this picture of the huge rock formations that surrounded the pond behind my home. I thought about the scripture in Luke 19:40 where Jesus declared to…
Little Bands of Women are EVERYWHERE!
Payton, my 16-year-old grandson, is going on a missions trip to Guatemala in June, so in efforts to raise the monies to go, he posted in a neighborhood community app that he would do odd jobs for people. So when a lady called and asked him to get some things down from her attic, as…
Take Joy, My King, in What You Hear
Day 8 of the Love Month — Take Joy, My King, in What You Hear Last week I posted about the love songs we enjoyed with our significant other, the love songs we sang to our babies, and the love songs God sings to us, but doesn’t He Who is THE originator of music desire…

Day 251 of Photo Inspirations — Celebrating Faith and Friendship — That’s Christmas! Yes, my photo inspirations for today are these precious women that I do life with. That’s what a small group is all about. We share and celebrate each others’ victories and we pray and encourage each other in times of need. These…
Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
It was the 3rd night of our Southern Caribbean cruise (it was our annual, romantic get-away), when, suddenly, the lights began to flicker and the engines came to a screeching halt. It was a dramatic sight as people ran to their cabins to get their life jackets. Fear consumed most of the passengers. We knew…
The Donkey — Jesus’ Limo
Happy Palm Sunday! Today, we celebrate our Lord’s triumphant entrance into Jerusalem where He was welcomed by crowds praising and worshipping Him and laying down palm leaves to honor Him. The palms, the “hosanas”, the worship and praise is typically our focus today. But, I’d like to add some focus to the donkey — he…
You are FABulous!
Just a little reminder….just in case you don’t like what you see in the mirror — there is really only one opinion that matters…..and if God sees you FABULOUS & BEAUTIFUL ….then you are FABULOUS & BEAUTIFUL indeed! We ARE beautiful because God says we are — “PERIOD.” When we walk in that kind of…
Sheltered in the Arms of God
Another thing to know about me….in the 70s, my husband, sister-in-law, a dear friend and I were The Master’s 4 Quartet. We traveled the country in a 26′ Winnebago (with our two kids pictured here) — singing/playing Gospel songs in churches, camps, concerts and other venues. Those were great days of many and long road…
