In the Meantime
An old song went like this: “In the meantime, in between time, ain’t we got fun?” I wish they had said “don’t we have fun?” But the point I am making is the “In the meantime” – no matter the problems, concerns and worries….there’s still a place for fun – if we would just look…
Worth the Wait
Sunday night I remembered I needed to buy a clear, plastic bag/purse for an upcoming event we’ll be attending this week. I needed the purse rushed to me as we are leaving town today. Amazon kept their one-day-delivery promise. It was worth the wait! I barely had to wait at all! The Waiting Game is…
Like a Dove
I read Psalm 55:6 “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.” That reading took me back to Frisco, TX and the mama dove who nested above my fireplace vent. When I realized she had made her family’s home there, she already had two eggs. Soon…
Waiting, Anticipating and Preparing
Today is the birthday eve celebration of my baby girl. I always make a big deal about “eves”. “Happy Birthday Eve” I’ll text or say to my children. “Happy Thanksgiving Eve and Happy Christmas Eve” I’ll declare too! The day before and anticipating the “day of”. I well remember the day before my girl was…
20/20 Vision for 2020
2020 is almost here. I love that round number. My grandson, Payton, was born in 2000. No problem keeping up with his age. It’s the same end-two digits of the year. He’ll be 20 in 2020. I enjoy studying numbers and their meaning in the Bible. Here are some clues for what we can expect…
It’s Not Easy – But It Is Sure Worth It
I’m here in Austin where we had a sweet Father’s Day with my son and family. My son is a terrific father and I like to think that he is because of his dad who loved him so much and modeled a loving father and mentor to him. Father’s Day prompted the memories of so…
This is NESTING — Preparing, Waiting, Anticipating
This is NESTING — Preparing, Waiting, Anticipating On Saturday, I went outside to water some plants and I was startled by the fluttering away of a mama dove that had laid two eggs in my fireplace vent outside. I quietly left that area because I wanted her to return to her nest. Then yesterday morning,…
Waiting, Anticipating, Preparing
Day 340 of Photo Inspirations — Waiting, Anticipating, Preparing The word “nesting” has frequently been on my mind over the last several days. “Nesting” is that word used when a pregnant woman is close to that day when her baby will arrive. She wakes up one morning feeling energetic and wanting to clean and organize…
Patience is Waiting
Day 292 of Photo Inspirations — Patience is WAITING So this week, at our Bible Study, we’re looking at the Fruit of the Spirit quality of PATIENCE. Lord, please give me patience RIGHT NOW! Patience is a word we seem to want to avoid talking about because when we start talking about it or asking…
Lord, Please Give Me Patience….NOW!
Our generation seems to have little patience for waiting. Road rage is seen when there’s someone moving way too slow in traffic. And there’s those times when we’re put on hold on a telephone call, or when we’re placed in yet another queue trying to get to the right customer representative. We talk about slow…
