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
Women
You may assume you know where I’m going with this very special word, but I may disappoint you. Over the years when my husband and I were in business, I was responsible for all the sales and marketing in our firm. I attended many seminars and networking meetings, which were essential in establishing relationships and… Continue reading Women
Listen
Listening is a skill. Or is it? Maybe we need to look at it a little deeper than that. It is a skill that requires practice; however, I believe it also requires awareness. I am reminded of the well-known quote, “God gave us two ears and one mouth, so we ought to listen twice as… Continue reading Listen
Joy
What is the difference between happiness and experiencing joy? 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… Continue reading Joy
