• Relaxing

  Sometimes I have to force myself to remember what the word relaxation means. First of all giving the issues to God after sharing them with him and leaving them in His hands. The last couple of days have been busy, hot and me working on several projects as possible. Something was about to give one…

• A Constant Love

  The past two years could not have been more distinctly different for me. Yet I know God has been working on my heart in different ways beyond even my understanding at the time. I simply lived day to day trying to mete out with each obstacle as best as I could. There have been two…

• God’s Mercy

  Today I decided we needed to check another spot for Stocking Stuffers. When we did the Stockings for Grandma Rosemary we had a kind of list of essentials that stayed most of the 15 plus Christmas’s we put these together. Lotions was one of those things along with chapstick. Some essentials that could be Christmassy…

• Devotional Day 3

  Over the years I have learned some very compelling facts of the Christmas Nativity. There are different authors I have read and various Preachers who have had highlighted aspects not usually in the telling of the story. The past 3 days have already been so enlightening. Ms. Hunt has so much knowledge and is sharing…

• Giving Thanks For Family

  The holidays bring about some difficult truths for some of us. Everyone in this life suffers and everyone suffers loss of a friend and family member. Over the years we see holes in our family gatherings. This year it’s still fresh… September wasn’t that far ago. Although, I am certain my Dad, his sisters and…

• Cards Given with Love

  Besides interviewing I also sent out some cards for Veterans Day. I have even gotten a ‘Thank You’ from a cousin who served in the Marine Corps who actually typed out a 3-4 page letter. I haven’t done any of this to receive compliments or even a ‘Thank You’ it has been a blessing just…

• Our Sale Evoking Memories

  Even twenty-plus years after Grandpa Arla’s death his name was mentioned over and over again this past week. It was surreal and so nice to talk to others who remembered my Great-Grandpa Arla and Grandma Doris as well of course Uncle Bobby. Meeting people who had their own stories to tell was the blessing of…

• The First Day

  My alarm was set for 6:50 am. Mom and I made it to Grandma’s house literally five minutes before 8 am. Already a line of cars were at the house. It’s a good thing we weren’t the ones to open the house and the garage this morning. My goodness though our lane was crowded. I…

• Sunday Evening Thoughts

  Yesterday I found a few pairs of my aunts shoes to wear. This morning I wore the pair that I knew would go well with my blue jean dress. It went really well with it. I felt so weird and yet comforted that they were my aunt’s shoes. She always looked good with sandals or…

• A Pleasantville Beauty

  Today starts the September Birthday Season. Uncle Bob, Grandma’s twin brother has been gone now for quite a while. However, to be absent here means he is with his Lord and Savior in heaven. Great-Grandpa Arla lived into his 90s and we are all grateful for the time we had listening to him as youngsters.…
