I’m Walking on Sunshine — Even in the Rain
Last week my daughter and I were at Panera Bread having a great time of “girl talk”. The sun was shining brightly when we went in, but all of a sudden we could see the winds blowing fiercely, dark clouds looming and then a torrential downpour of rain came. Yay! We needed that rain! Here…
A Rainy Morning Lesson on Vanity
It’s Sunday morning. Last night I laid the clothes out that I’m wearing to church this morning. It’s an early one. I must be there to sign in by 7:30 am. I’m doing my best to give away clothes that I haven’t worn in a year, so I pull out an outfit I haven’t worn…
Jesus Take the Wheel….Please!
I’m home from a quick trip to Tulsa to attend a celebration of a dear 90-year-old friend’s life. I thought I knew this man who had blessed me with such kindness over the years, but not until I saw his talents all around the halls and chapel did I come to know I had not…
The Sound of a Rushing Mighty Wind
As I made my way home from church, the skies began to darken and the wind started blowing hard. I was thankful to get inside before the torrential rain began. I thought that my trees might break because they were bent over so far. I started saying “Peace. Be still. In the name of Jesus”,…
Here is that Rainbow I’ve Been Praying For
Yesterday I was listening to the downpour of rain. I knew the outdoor event I was attending would be postponed. But, we had seen the forecast, so it was already planned that the event would resume later in the day when the rain was gone. I thought about this old song: I can see clearly…
Weathering the Storm
We’re stoked about the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon being given by the downtown Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital which includes our North location volunteers. It’s going to be a great way to spend a Saturday with some other volunteers going with me. We are decked out in our 50s and 60s outfits because, after all, a prize…
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…
Lord, Thank You For the Rain!
We’ve been having downpours of rain for the last few days. Aw, sweet rain! We are on a water ration here in Frisco – only one day a week do we get to water our yards. In this Texas heat, that just hasn’t been enough water and my lawn has suffered. I’ve lost two holly…
Big Audacious Faith-Filled Prayers
Day 141 of Photo Inspirations — Big Audacious Faith-Filled Prayers Yesterday was Payton’s birthday party — he had planned it for weeks — pool party, pool games, outdoor fun. But then we had to think about Plan B — the forecast was 92% chance of rain. Yesterday, I posted about how I am honing in…
You’re My Sunshine — Even When it Rains
I’ve thought about the positive impact that some special people have had in my life (you know who you are), and just by watching you and being around you, I feel energized. Your spirit of encouragement is contagious. I can’t be down in your presence because you are such a light — your glow rubs…
