Christmas Before Thanksgiving?

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Tomorrow will be our U.S. Thanksgiving Day. My Canadian family and friends celebrated their Thanksgiving Day back in October. For them, it makes Thanksgiving Day a couple of months before Christmas. I like that pause before Christmas activities. Whether October or November, it’s been beginning to look a lot like Christmas for…

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

I’m starting this Thanksgiving week with so much gratitude to God for His love and His many blessings — far more than I could ever deserve! I am not lucky, fortunate, or merely disciplined – I am the recipient of God’s grace – His unmerited favor because I am His and He is mine. It’s…

Awareness of God is Possible 24/7

Being in Mexico with my kids for the last several days was a delight — incredible food, birthday celebrations, playing in the surf on boogie boards, laying out on the beach under umbrellas (this very white girl stays covered for the most part), parasailing (you better believe this spring chicken didn’t miss out on that…

They Opened Their Mouths With Wisdom

El Lugar Secreto

Have you been to el lugar secreto? This weekend, six years ago, just after my Sweetheart graduated to heaven, I was invited to go to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to spend Thanksgiving with my son and his family. What a special gift it was to go to such a peaceful and tranquil place. I woke…

Gratitude for Simple Pleasures

When itemizing those things we are grateful for, we’ll list a lot of things that money affords — like our home, car, clothes, food, electronics, appliances and all those THINGS that add to our comfort. But now, in retrospect, I realize those precious treasures that money can’t buy. The Simple Pleasures. Thanksgiving usually brings families…

On Your Mark — Get Set…….GO!

Shopping is in full force this morning — well, actually, it was in full force at 5 pm yesterday. Seems “Black Friday” is no longer reserved for just Friday. In fact, I purchased an item several days ago that was advertised as a “Black Friday” sale. Clearly, the Thanksgiving holiday is done for another year.…
