For the past five or six years I’ve had a word for the year, a word to help me see God working in my life. Last year‘s word was ABUNDANCE. I found that abundance can show up in many different ways; ways I was not necessarily imagining. I expected an abundance of joy. I did …
Persevere — this was my word for 2021. It was a word I didn’t particularly desire. Nobody wants to think of having to persevere. Perseverance generally presumes hard times are in the future. Yet, because God is good, I knew persevering was not without reward. When you are given your One Word for the year, …
As of today, my husband and I are officially renters in the home we’ve owned for nearly 29 years. The reason we’re renting is the home we’re having built is about one month from being move-in ready. (Cabinets should be installed today.) I also have a pile of boxes in my living room ready for …
This month I posted each day something I was thankful for on my blog’s Facebook page. I still have two days to post but thought I would share here what I’ve done so far. Integrating gratefulness and thankfulness into my day has shown me how blessed I truly am. I may continue this through next …

Day 2 – It’s funny how if you give yourself some focus how it opens up the floodgates! I’ve been mulling over all the letters I’ll need to describe all the good changes I’ve made. LOL. It really does make me laugh. I was thinking this was going to be hard, well it is, only …
Some days a song comes along and just resonates in my soul. Today was one of those days. We had "Church in the Field" this morning. The morning was cool and overcast but the previous night's thunderstorm had given way to a few sun breaks. There is something about being in nature that just makes …
Introducing my newest granddaughter, Taylor. She brings about such joy and happiness and all she has to do is...absolutely nothing! Yay Tay!
