We Have a Treasure in Us
I have been known for notorious treasure hunts for years — since my oldest grandchildren were too young to read the clues. We had to read for them and then they’d run to the location. It was always Nana and Papa’s way of spicing up birthday fun. It’s a work out to get the rhyming…
Laying Up Treasures in Heaven
Yesterday, we attended my grandson’s “matriculation” ceremony. I asked, “What does matriculation mean?” Maybe you’d like to know the answer, too! Matriculation is the admission to a group, particularly a school. After some IQ-testing, my grandson passed the exams and was admitted (matriculated) to Regents School of Austin, and yesterday, his dad, mom and I…
I’ve Hidden His Word in my Heart
I’m so grateful for my upbringing in church because that’s where I received the “solid rock” foundation for my life. My parents were wise in that “church” was our “go to” place for friendships, worshiping God, hearing His Word, AND in my opinion – the best place EVER to hang out with my girlfriends and…
A Good Sense of Humor and a Merry Heart — Good Like Medicine
Sense of Humor: funny side, amusement, hilarity, good humor, merry, funniness, lighthearted, spirited. A good sense of humor just happens in everyday conversations. It doesn’t mean memorizing jokes and jamming them into conversations. A good sense of humor can turn messes and unfortunate circumstances into a great relief from the stress of it all. A…
Trust Me! I’ve Got This!
Being over-zealous to find community when I first moved to Frisco, TX, I sought out ways to get involved at my church. I sent emails and made calls. I even sent a letter to the new pastor in hopes to meet with him for a few minutes to not only find out about him, but…
What is YOUR Aroma?
On the the way to church, yesterday morning, there was a sweet aroma in my car – a fragrance that brings me to tears. Oh but first before I go there…..I’ll tell you what created that lovely aroma. Leading up to Saturday, the 16th, there were 16 days of celebrating my granddaughter’s Sweet 16 birthday.…
One Gal’s Junk…..Another Gal’s Treasure
My sis-in-law and I share a sweet memory of the estate sale company that we owned and operated. We witnessed the “junk” of many become the “treasures” for others. Perspective. A useless Tupperware lid for one, but for another it was just what they needed. Old worthless baby stroller for one, to another it was…
Treasure Hunt for Treasures
Day 330 of Photo Inspirations — Treasure Hunt for Treasures Thanksgiving Week is well underway at Nana’s house. The Treasure Hunt for Bryson was a success that led to awesome treasures, not just for him, but everyone! $5 Dollar Tree cards. It’s a “must-have” trip while they’re here. Plungers were the big buy last time…
Shovel-fulls or Spoon-fulls
Day 151 of Photo Inspirations — Shovel-fulls or Spoon-fulls I heard such a beautiful message Sunday about “The Man in the Mirror”. We all remember this song as one of Michael Jackson’s best. It spoke of the person we need to be in order to make the world a better place. The chorus went like…
The Pearl of Great Price
God is relentless in His pursuit of us. He speaks to us in a thousand different ways, endeavoring to get our attention. He is passionate in His love for us, and patient in His tolerance of us. And, just in case you ever doubt your self-worth, here is proof positive of how special and amazing…
