In the almost 49 years of marriage (officially September) my husband and I have called four different residences our home. With each move, we saw it as the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for us, while still holding onto the many fond memories of each that we still reminisce about today. In addition… Continue reading Carry

Fresh
During these warmer summer months, the cooling word of fresh brings so many images to my mind. I can picture the clothesline in our back yard that held freshly washed sheets and that wonderful fresh fragrance that now only comes in the form of dryer sheets or fabric softener. I think of summertime and the… Continue reading Fresh
Meet
I don’t know about you, but I am definitely a “people person.” Don’t get me wrong, there are many times that I prefer just to sit quietly with no noise, especially if it’s sitting quietly in prayer during my day or on the beach watching the waves crash to shore over and over again. Some… Continue reading Meet
Flavor
Let’s just say I was a difficult child when it came to eating. With a very limited menu of food items that I would consume, I’m sure it was frustrating for both my mother and father. Fortunately, (or maybe unfortunately) the today me is not as fussy. While my choices in the past were either… Continue reading Flavor
Grace
This is scary. So many times, this word comes to mind, but I’m never quite sure how to put something down on paper. Today, the word grace whispered to me, but I, again, chose to file the word for another time. Then, I went to do the scripture readings for the day. What was today’s… Continue reading Grace
Hands
How much do we take our hands for granted? One of the many parts that God created, when He created you and me. Did you ever contemplate what He also wanted us to do with those hands? Well, here’s a short list (possibly) that I think how He intended us to use them: Encouragement –… Continue reading Hands
Spread
I know we’re honoring all fathers today, but I couldn’t resist spreading this word now. Let me tell you, there is no one I knew who could put on a spread like my mother-in-law! Boy, could she cook and entertain, all seeming like no effort at all. It just came naturally, as my father-in-law used… Continue reading Spread
Chosen
The word “chosen” takes me immediately back to my school days where I can visualize my classmates and myself all lined up and fearfully waiting to hear our names called to be chosen for the team. I remember how disappointed I was when I didn't make the cut to be on the cheerleading team. Maybe… Continue reading Chosen
Freedom
I remember taking a school field trip with my fellow classmates to the city known for freedom – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. What impressed me the most was seeing the Liberty Bell with its infamous crack and reading the story behind it. When we were younger, did we really understand what freedom meant and how blessed we… Continue reading Freedom
Decision
How many decisions have you made in your lifetime? It doesn’t matter if you’re sweet 16 or in your 90’s, we make decisions every day of our lives. It may be as simple as “What should I have for breakfast this morning?” to the most important decision of our lives. “Should I go to college?” … Continue reading Decision
