Being Thankful When It Isn’t Easy
In my post, yesterday, I welcomed this week of Thanksgiving. One day just isn’t enough for us to express our gratitude for God’s goodness and mercy for so many blessings. I know, however, Thanksgiving isn’t always a joyous and thankful time for everyone. I know that life is going terribly wrong for some people who…
It’s Fall — My Favorite Season of the Year
It rained incessantly all day here in Frisco on Saturday. That beautiful drenching outside made for a glorious indoor day of wearing comfy clothes, thoroughly giving my home a good top-to-bottom cleaning, and then rewarding myself at the end of the day with a sweet Hallmark movie, popcorn, and a chocolate shake. Aw — the…
So Very Thankful On This Thanksgiving Day!
So Very Thankful On This Thanksgiving Day! Happy Thanksgiving, dear FB Friends and Family! I am so thankful for far more than I deserve today. Of God’s many blessings to me, He gave me yet another “surprise” blessing at this time in my life. He gave me YOU — my Facebook friends and family. I…
Start With Gratitude and End With Gratitude
Start and Finish With Gratitude Yesterday, this picture and message was posted on my cell phone timeline by Facebook. FB said this was the first photo I ever uploaded from my phone to FB five years ago today. That made me smile because this is the week of Thanksgiving, and it seems that I was…
Blessed to be a Blessing
Happy Thanksgiving! Let me start out by saying “I’m so thankful for YOU!” I’m so thankful you’re my friend, family member or casual acquaintance, but the fact that you stop by my FB post sometimes, humbles me, yet encourages me to keep on doing what I know God called me to do. THANK YOU for…
Valentine’s “Bah Humbug”
I don’t think I explained about my Month of Love posts. It’s been very intentional. You see, February 14th has been a precious day for me since I was 12 years old. Well, maybe even before that when we decorated shoe boxes for receiving Valentine cards from our schoolmates. Up till February 14th, 1961, the…
Gratitude Even in the Toughest Times
Day 262 of Photo Inspirations — Gratitude Even in the Toughest Times Last night, my Life Group’s discussion was about gratitude. I asked them to write down 10 things they are grateful for in one minute. Some beat the minute and wrote down even more things. I did the exercise, yesterday morning. I gave…
The Debut of Two Girls Into Our World
Day 255 of Photo Inspirations — The Debut of Two Girls Into Our World On this special day, I’m celebrating two of my girls. It was actually September 15th when our son asked us to join him and Shawntel’s family for a surprise birthday party for her at her home. Her birthday was September 16th,…
Thankful for the Precious Moments
So good to be back home in T-Town! Always thankful to go…..and thankful to be back home. Quite frankly….. ”thankful” has become my default emotion. Thankful for my life, thankful for family, thankful for friends, and, thankful that I choose to be thankful. I’m especially thankful for the precious moments in my life, and so…
Bitter or Better?
I have an Aunt who has been in a British Columbia hospital for over 15 months now — Crohn’s Disease — and, after all she’s gone through — so many surgeries, in so much pain, and many other complications — she remains joy-filled, thankful, and continues to give God praise to be alive. Her faithful…
