Water is necessary for our survival. It hydrates us, it cleanses us, and thankfully refreshes us on those hot summer days. I am happiest when I’m by the water; and living in Florida, it was definitely a good choice with the ocean, intra-coastal waterway, rivers, and lakes all within a short drive. Growing up, I… Continue reading Water

Why follow From God's Lips?
In our busy world, our soul desires quiet time with God. His desire is that we spend time with him, focusing only our building our relationship with him. He wants to hear our words speaking to Him - our needs, concerns and definitely remembering to give Him thanks for everything - both in joy and sorrow. God is calling you to spend time with him through the positive words He has placed in my heart. I hope you will, along with me, share and grow in His love.
Easy
My mind rushes back to when my husband and I embarked on the biggest challenge of our lives, running a small business. It was exciting at the beginning, but through many trials and roadblocks, (entwined I admit with many blessings too) there was a time when we almost gave up. But my mother-in-law gave us… Continue reading Easy
Memories
During our recent move(s) that finally brought us to the sunshine state of Florida, packing everything up from our original home of over 30 years, was overwhelming. I couldn’t believe how many boxes it took, with quite a few of those containing photo albums and scrapbooks that I had put together over the years. I… Continue reading Memories
Care
A close good friend once told me once that accepting care from others allows them the opportunity to give of themselves and grow in their faith also. How well do you care for others? How good are you at allowing others to reach out to you in a time of need? I am learning constantly… Continue reading Care
Joy
What is the difference between joy and happiness? My first thought was joy is something more internal and comes from deep down inside me. Happiness is a fleeting thing - never lasting. I can think of thousands of moments that brought me happiness in my life. I can recall so many wonderful memories of vacations,… Continue reading Joy
Morning
There should be a golden rule that the word good be added to the beginning of the word morning. Because every morning is good! We have another chance to get it right every single day. My husband and I are determined, again, (and again) to move more during our day. With the hot summer days… Continue reading Morning
Valuable
What do see around you that you feel is valuable? Sit and think about that for a moment and make a mental list in your mind. The most common responses would be family, friends, and our health. One of my more specific responses would be the senior members of our communities. My husband and I… Continue reading Valuable
Gaze
What is the difference between looking or gazing at someone or something? What causes us to gaze at something? When I think of gazing, it pulls my thoughts to something of beauty – a sunset, or just my husband sleeping peacefully by my side (snoring or not). While experiencing the clear night sky, it wouldn’t… Continue reading Gaze
Favored
The word favored came to me recently during a conversation with a close friend. She spoke the word as she shared her story, and I quickly scribbled it on a piece of paper beside me, because I felt it was of significant importance. How important is it to us in our life that we feel… Continue reading Favored
Today
How often do we live in the past or worry about the future? We tend to ignore the beauty of today – the opportunities of today - the blessings of just today. I was reminded of this during a telephone conversation with my sister. She was sharing with me her traditions in the start of… Continue reading Today
