In the quiet of the evening, as the sky starts to darken, my eyes wander around our house, looking at the results of our many hours (days) of Christmas decorating. In our family room alone, we have displays of so many special Santas, snowmen, treasured lighted houses, and nativities. These are collected treasures over the… Continue reading Celebrate

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
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
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
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
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
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
Picnic
I apologize. It really is the word that spoke to me this morning. It’s not a positive word on the surface, although most picnics that we’ve experienced hold some great memories and fun. But to connect picnics and Jesus? I think this may be my biggest challenge. I do recall a memory of one of… Continue reading Picnic
Awake
This word brings to mind a story for me that helps me connect to how important it is to always be awake. My husband always teases me about the time we drove to visit his brother in New Hampshire. One the way up there, the day was gloomy and rainy. He jokes (but unfortunately, it’s… Continue reading Awake

Is there a difference between the word like vs. the word love? I’m sure you’re nodding your head - of course there is! I think loving someone would be a part of a deeper and committed relationship. You don’t just call them on the phone or spend time with them out of obligation. No matter… Continue reading Like –
