          As I was unwrapping each piece of our family’s nativity set from the tissue paper and putting it out for display, God spoke to my heart.  I put baby Jesus in the middle.  All the other characters and creatures were around HIM.  The Lord quietly said, “That’s the way it should be always…Jesus asContinue reading “The Christmas Rush”

          I still can’t believe we’re only a week away from Thanksgiving.  Where did the month of November go?  I distinctly remember Mom saying when I was a little girl, “When you’re young, Christmas, the holidays and your birthday seem to roll around slowly and take forever to get here.  But when you’re older, Christmas,Continue reading “THANKSgiving”

          Before I begin this article, please know I will be true to the promise I made to the Lord before I ever began this blog.  Even if tempted, I will not write about and/or discuss politics.  As I sit to write about God’s chosen people and country, that task will be very difficult.  TheContinue reading “Israel”

          One of our favorite aspects of being at the beach is staying on the seventh floor of our condominium complex.  It’s the top floor; we’ve learned to request it every year.  Why?  Oh, we both love to bask in the sun as we’re in lounge chairs on the deck near the pool and readContinue reading “Lessons from the beach – take II”

          We recently returned from the beach.  It was a refreshing time of relaxing, soaking up the sun, spending time with my hubby, the Lord and creating some wonderful memories.           Both of us love the ocean.  We looked forward to getting in daily to “ride the waves” or experience the calm swells.           ThisContinue reading “Lessons from the Beach”

          I’ve always loved hoop earrings…small, large, medium, silver or gold. There’s something about them that’s so classic, simple and elegant.           A few years ago, I had on my favorite pair of hoop earrings.  They were rope silver/black hoops.  Somehow when I was taking one off, it rolled under our dresser.  I tried toContinue reading “Light in the Darkness”

          In the mornings when I rise, I either immediately get ready for work or I throw on clothes and get out for a walk if I’m not working.  Whether I’m working or not, I end up in our living room to have my devotions, read my Bible and have a prayer time with theContinue reading “Which one are you?”

For the next few days, I will be posting short, little stories that God has put on my heart. In other words, I won’t be writing my normal very long and laborious articles – ha!! Enjoy the brevity!!! I’m not known for that in my writing or speaking.
