The word seek wouldn’t necessarily be identified as a positive word. It would depend on what you are seeking and if you are successful in your discovery. Is it fame or fortune? Or maybe you are seeking peace or just want to be loved. Another thought came to my mind when that word spoke to… Continue reading Seek

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
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
Gentle
Just speaking the word gentle brings me an immediate feeling of calm and peace and also brings back a special memory. I remember I was only 12 years old when I became an aunt for the first time. My sister and her husband lived in their new apartment, which was within walking distance from my… Continue reading Gentle
Welcome
If you recall the saying, “If you looked in the dictionary under the word … there would be a picture of …., what would your answer be if you inserted the word welcome? My choice would be "my mother-in-law." She welcomed everyone! When she was with friends and family (and strangers too), she took that… Continue reading Welcome
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 –
Clear – Open your eyes and see!
“The Sound of Music” is one of my favorite all time movies. I have fond memories of my mom taking me to see the movie when I was only 11 years old. I also love one of the songs, “My Favorite Things”, sung by the star, Julie Andrews. Another thought that comes to mind, as… Continue reading Clear – Open your eyes and see!
