Bunny Trails That Give Bunnies a Bad Name
So I’m still caring for this pint-size Yorkie who, BTW, is about to get “shipped out” because she keeps telling me what to do. “Treat? Go for a Walk? Scratch my tummy! Put me as close to you as I possibly can get!” And, I yield to her, almost every time. Those big brown eyes…
Keep On Keeping On
Of course this precious man’s photo is my inspiration for today. Heaven is a wonderful place and every time I hear about someone’s loved one getting to go there, it seems to get sweeter and sweeter. At least it sure does for me. I am a team member on a Faith & Grief support group…
We Can’t Judge a Dandelion by its Cover
You know those bright yellow flowers that we consider our enemy? I saw this photo and a friend’s post declaring “Dandelions are not Weeds! They build bones better than calcium, cleanse the liver and heal eczema.” Who knew? I’ve always pulled them out of my yard or had my lawn guys spray them away. But…
Why Am I Here Anyway?
We hear many sermons and talks about why God put us here at this time and in this space. Here’s what His Word says: “Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and WE EXIST FOR HIM…..”; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and…
Soaring Above It All
I saw this photo on a friend’s FB post about her recent vacation. Right away a blog started forming in my head. Her FB comment was: “Oh, today, let’s be adventurers! Feel the wind and fly.” Obviously, she and her husband took her words to action. I commented on her post: “I love that! I…
Loving Our Neighbors as We Love Ourselves
I’ve been here at my Austin family’s home for over two weeks now. Here’s the bonuses of being here: 1) Breathtaking views of Austin’s Hill Country from their back patio – perfect for a morning of holding hands with God and His creation. 2) Hanging out with the critters. 3) Going make-up free and even…
Train Them Up in the Way They Should Go
From the very start of her life, our daughter was loud. I mean crying-out-loud loud. When she was a baby, she cried because she was a very sick baby and later when she realized she had a brother that loved to annoy her, she was loud with her shrills and squeals when he as much…
I Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda
Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda You know those words: “I should have done that but”, “I would have been been that but” or “I could have gone there but…..” Should — Would — Could are words I’ve determined to get out of my vocabulary this year because they represent the past and that past is behind me.…
What If Blessings Come From Raindrops?
If we could measure our blessings by raindrops that have come to Frisco for the last week and, now, it shows rain every day through Sunday, then we would be overwhelmed with blessings. On Monday, I returned home from Austin in unceasing, torrential rain most all the way in which driving was extremely intense. My…
Beam Me Up, Scotty!
Yesterday I stopped by my children’s home and I saw this aluminum foil creation with a point on the top (and, of course, a bow to show it was designed with a woman in mind!). Alexia (my creative granddaughter) had made it the night before. I’m not sure where her imagination was going to but…
