Giving thanks during this upcoming month is our traditional focus; and it’s pretty much assumed that we will all experience the visual of that perfect Thanksgiving meal that includes that golden, juicy roasted turkey, stuffing, apple pie and all the trimmings! I can even smell those familiar aromas escaping from our kitchen. Every year we… Continue reading Pilgrims

My camping days are well over! The idea now of putting up a tent and sleeping on a ground that has definitely gotten harder over the years, is not my idea of a vacation anymore. However, I will add that my husband and I can recall wonderful stories about all our camping adventures. One such… Continue reading Fresh
Desire
We all have desires, right? Other words we use to describe desire are our hopes, dreams, longings, needs, and even fancy. When we bring those desires before God, what does He hear? When my desires are so great that it consumes me, what is He thinking about my requests? We’re thinking “If only you will… Continue reading Desire
Amazing
The first visual I picture in my mind is fireworks. I love fireworks! Even as a child I can recall going to the 4th of July parade in our small town, watching the stream of local marching bands, fire trucks and other entertainment stroll down Main Street. Then, once the sun went down, we were… Continue reading Amazing
Easy
My mind rushes back to when my husband and I embarked on the biggest challenge of our lives, running a small business.

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
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
