Was Jesus at Your Table?
This day after Thanksgiving comes with relaxation for those that poured their hearts and souls into their grand Thanksgiving feast day. They prepared for the day — baking, cooking, cleaning up – with the best part that makes it all worth it, being so thankful to serve and embrace family time together. Relaxation on this…
Thankful is an Understatement
Happy Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for YOU, my beloved family and friends who are ever-afters. What are “ever-afters”? Those are the ones who aren’t with us for just a day, just a reason, or just a season. Ever-afters are those who we grab their hand and shoulder-to-shoulder, heart to heart live our lives with…
Write the Vision. Make it Plain.
I’m a note taker and list maker. I’m on purpose to keep my eyes and ears wide open for an aha or idea or a name of someone I want to remember or a story or message that might be the inspiration for an upcoming blog. It has served me well. If I listen to…
Loving from the Inside Out
I’m a morning person by choice. I’m up and at ‘em at 4am or 5am and posting my blog. I know that I am an anomaly to those who have late-sleeping patterns. I’ve been up for a while when our continental breakfast bar is open at 8 am. Yesterday, I went over to grab something…
Want to be Thankful with Me Today?
We are still under the “boil water”notice that was issued for all Austin Water customers Saturday night due to an “internal treatment process issue that resulted in high turbidity within the Ullrich Water Treatment plant.” In addition, emergency water restrictions were issued, meaning residents are asked to conserve water. So what is all the fuss…
The Secret for Finding the Fountain of Youth
It’s the last day of Spring break and the day my two teenage grandsons and their teenage friend and I are leaving Cabo San Lucas and heading home to Austin. I can’t begin to tell you how many people are in the Cabo airport, but, thankfully, we have an attendant who is helping us move…
The Older I Get – the more Thankful I Become
These photos say it all. The first one: 2010 – 6 days after my sweetheart was promoted to heaven. We flew to Cabo San Lucas for Thanksgiving. (Papa was supposed to have been with us – but God had such a better plan for him.) Is this a photo of a grieving widow and sad…
Happy Thanks-giving and Grateful for Thanks-Living
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so thankful for YOU! I’m thankful you’re my friend, family member or casual acquaintance, but the fact that you may read my daily blogs from time to time, humbles me, and encourages me to keep on doing what I know God called me to do. THANK YOU for your love! I’m so…
In EVERYTHING — Give Thanks
I stopped by a friend’s home a few days ago. Understandably, she is distraught because her high-school-senior-son is missing out on his final year of baseball, as well as missing out on his Senior Prom. And she went on to feel sorry for those college students who are delayed in their graduations and other friends…
You Have Permission….to be Thankful
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so thankful for you! I can’t overstate how much my social media family means to me. I am so grateful that you read my blogs. I know that God gave me this platform to celebrate Him and all that knowing Him affords: peace, comfort, joy, zest for life, faith, hope, and untold…
