When I think about the word courage today, it was because I remembered reading an inspiring letter that was written by both a former client and someone I also consider to be a friend. He and his family had the courage to start a church from scratch. Looking from the outside in, I always admired… Continue reading Courage

Give
Give is an action word. To give to someone requires us to do something – to make an effort. What is our intention when we give? Is it to get something in return or make us feel less guilty about something we did or forgot to do? When we give of our time, how often… Continue reading Give
Victory
I remember my father loved to play games. Two of his favorites were backgammon and scrabble and I have very fond memories of those times. But much as I remember playing games as a child, I don’t recall if I was very competitive in nature. My husband’s family, on the other hand, loved to play… Continue reading Victory

Gratitude
Don’t panic! It’s not Thanksgiving yet. Funny how we think of gratitude and giving thanks mainly around the holidays. However, it truly should be a year-round practice, with gratitude always being in our thoughts and expressed to those around us.

I wonder if we did a survey, posing those same questions, if we wouldn’t be surprised by the results. I must admit that I have trouble with structured prayer. I admire… Continue reading Prayer
Carry
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
