Those Here Today and Gone Tomorrow Fads
A fad is defined as an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived; a craze. I admit. I fell prey to some fads in my earlier years. Case in point. See that cute little boy. That’s my son in this photo and guess what era that was when Nehru suits…
Remember Christmas 2020?
As I stood in what seemed to be a snail’s pace going through a Hobby Lobby check-out line, I couldn’t help but notice this jammed-packed “Christmas” store. Shelves upon shelves of every color of Christmas you would want – white, pink, blue, green, turquoise, or traditional red. And every style you would want – country,…
When You’re a Hugger and an Encourager
That’s me. I come from a family of huggers. These arms were meant to reach out and hug. So, throw me into a world of social distancing, and I’m very uncomfortable. I was amused when someone reacted to my “Are You Vaccinated?” blog with these words: “Jesus would be first in line to get the…
Making the Most with What We Have
Yesterday was my mother-in-law’s 98th birthday and since we couldn’t have a real up-close-and-personal celebration, my children, and grands (13 of us) celebrated her via a Zoom call. How precious it was for each of us to express our love to her. As we were about to sign off, Mom spoke up with a prayer…
No Matter What — God’s Got This School Year
In spite of the face masks, rules of hygiene, social distancing, on-line or in-person school – I’m asking God for His favor on this year with so many blessings and great accomplishments for our children AND even for you moms and dads. What a breath of fresh air it has been to see such optimism…
Faith Over Fear
I was a greeter at my church last weekend. Arrayed in my mask in keeping with CDC guidelines, as well as six-feet social distancing, I was game-on! I love being a greeter, from my own experience of being greeted by a friendly face. It’s heart-warming to notice being noticed. At my church, which holds 1,200…
When You’re a Hugger and Encourager
That’s me. I come from a family of huggers. So, throw me into a world of social distancing and stay-at-home orders and I’m really uncomfortable. Actually, my heart aches for our world that needs a good dose of love, compassion, understanding and HUGS. Let’s get the truth out there. God, the greatest of all lovers…
2020’s Silent Shifter
A “Silent Shifter” changed everything about the way we think. It was like an invisible force field swept over our world. The fight for life has been the #1 goal. Our world has been united in this fight. Our medical field and essential services’ heroes put on their “superman/woman” capes, masks, gloves and have been…
Making the Most of this Day
I burst out of my cocoon to fly a little today. It feels so good. I am on a mission. Get toilet paper. I have inside info. Walmart’s truck will be here at 10 am. I am in line for my one-only big package of TP and paper towels. Mission accomplished! Woohoo! Next, I go…
