Trusting God in the Senseless
Yesterday I blogged about the times when we MUST trust! We have a host of reasons to have a problem with trusting, especially when it comes to relationships and our heart gets broken or when dreams crush or our dream vacation turns into a nightmare or when we’re let down by a sickness reoccurrence. We…
Our Home on the Range Christmas
Tuesday, the 23rd I traveled to Rusk TX to celebrate a sweet and tender Christmas with Larry, Staci, Payton, and Alexia. The beautiful Epiphany Ranch gated entry welcomed me, followed by corn-hole gaming, laughter that Payton and I were winning big time, when Larry’s big final last pitch effort, carried he and Staci to victory.…
Merry Christmas to You and Yours
Happy Birthday, Jesus! Joy to the world the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King! Many joys and blessings to my dear, encouraging, and supportive, friends and family! Up and at ‘em is the full-of-life-and-joy kiddos this morning. Maybe the rest of us are moving at a slower pace, seeking just a few…
Bah Humbug or Good Tidings of Comfort and Joy
“Bah Humbug” is an expression Ebenezer Scrooge said to show disgust about the Christmas season. Maybe it’s an expression that you may not say out loud, but you’re still feeling it. With all the Christmas songs of comfort, joy and peace, I would be remiss to think that we are all in a perky, celebratory…
I’m a Sap for a Good Love Story
Take for example, my second oldest grandson, he and his girlfriend just had their one-year dating anniversary. They are the cutest couple and we have welcomed his sweet girlfriend into the family with open arms already. I keep thinking any day he’ll pop “the question”. I am starry eyed at their love for each other.…
Was the Innkeeper Really So Unwelcoming?
I’ve been “gifting” in my blogs the last few days AND gifting is what I’m doing at my dining room table. No food allowed on that table right now because it’s loaded with wrapping paper, ribbon, scissors, tape, gift cards and gift items to wrap. I’m getting my Christmas gift list checked off, one-by-one. Speaking…
Trusting God When It Doesn’t Make Sense
Yesterday I posted about the times when we are afraid to trust. We have a host of reasons to have a problem with trusting, especially when it comes to relationships and when someone broke our hearts or when dreams crushed or when we’re let down by a sickness reoccurrence. But we have proof of those…
Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All
I’ve witnessed so much peace and goodwill over the last several days since the passing of our 41st President, George H.W. Bush. Many accolades and gracious editorials, social media posts and televised stories of this very praiseworthy American statesman were seen and heard almost non-stop. His funeral, yesterday, was beautiful and inspiring even though the…
God Showed Up
As we get closer and closer to Christmas Eve, I think about the most remarkable moment when God showed up on this earth as a precious, perfect little baby boy — who just “laid in a manger”. Hmm. I don’t think I ever saw him crying and Mary needing to hold him to soothe him.…
Merry Christmas Eve!
Merry Christmas Eve! My sweet Mama would always make her calls to each of her grown children on Christmas Eve morning, saying — “Merry Christmas Eve”. We expected that call. And I say that to all of my FB friends today — MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE! That little greeting and memory certainly does turn my heart…
