Although I didn’t have a difficult time falling asleep last night, I sure woke up several times throughout the night and my brain would NOT rest. There’s a lot going on in the world and my personal life right now, however, all of that didn’t consume my thoughts this time. I am an IA in […]
When your heartstrings get snagged
If you are a grandparent or a parent, you will be able to relate to the emotions that are tied to this story. Actually, MOST people will be able to relate because of life experiences. My granddaughter, Natalie, recently started preschool. She FaceTimed us last week to tell us she had just completed day 1. […]
Hope for you
We planted sunflowers and zinnias in our garden this year. Still waiting on the sunflowers to bloom. However, the zinnias are absolutely beautiful. I love all the different colors and details that make them all so unique. I recently decided to gather a few and make a bouquet. I’m not very experienced with this, so […]
Jesus – There’s something about that name
After a long, difficult day where I help teach preschool, my soul was touched when I heard a group of children randomly sing “Jesus Loves Me” in our classroom. There is nothing more uplifting than hearing the voices of children lift up His name. Oh, how He loves you and me…

Have you ever been caught off guard and discovered that someone was either hurt, influenced, or inspired by something you did or said? God certainly has a way of revealing lessons in the most subtle way. I just got back to Florida after spending a few days in Minnesota. I went from 89 degree weather […]

Don’t you just love it when you hear a conversation that doesn’t involve you, but it stays with you for a long time? There were three eleven(ish) year old boys who were having swimming races across the pool. One of the boys would pretty much throw a fit every time because he never won. Before their last […]
How Do You Know?

I am a mom to 3 sons. Although they are adults now, I can’t help but think back to the days when I would have to tell one of them (or all 3 of them at the same time, which was the WORST!) why they couldn’t go outside without a winter coat on, play one more […]
Friendship

Friendships come in all shapes and sizes. These two little girls were born within hours apart in the same hospital. No one knew it then, but their moms would become friends. Their grandparents met in the waiting room on the day they were being brought into this world. These girls were the grandparents’ […]

“ Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.” Philippians 2:14-16 There always seems to be a debate […]
