Thankful for Everything

It’s a time of year to be thankful for all the Lord has blessed us with – family, home, friends, country, church – and the list goes on. It’s easier to say, “thank you” when things are going well. I’d…

A Bare Tree

It seems my maple trees are being reluctant in letting their leaves fall to the ground this year. But my crabapple is completely bare. It’s kind of a sad sight to look at and it makes me think about our…

No Access

“How can this be?” I thought. “I’ve been using this same password for a long time and never had an issue.” That was true until one day two weeks ago, when I was denied access to my web site where…

Be the Exception

Weddings! They are beautiful, aren’t they? My granddaughter’s last weekend was no different. The weather was beautiful, the venue was beautiful and of course, the bride, too. I couldn’t help but think of my own so many years ago and…

Give Me Some Attention

I do love my early morning walks. There are several people and cars that have become familiar to me and a wave and a smile is mostly all I can give. On my return jaunt, however, it’s a little different.…

Those O’ Black Crows!

As I was on my daily morning walk one day last week, all of a sudden I heard the loudest squawking in the top of a tree. As I watched, more black crows, one by one, were landing and perching…

Eagerly Waiting

Usually time seems to fly by, but for me, Saturday was different. I could hardly wait for 1:00 to come. I paced the floor, watched the clock, had my phone near me, and finally it was here – my “facetime”…

What a Privilege!

I’ve had answers to prayers this week; have you? I know some of you have. Isn’t it strange though, that His answer often surprises us? Sometimes we say or think, “He really did answer; I didn’t think He would!” But…

I Will Give You Rest

Do any of you get weary from all the things you have to do? There doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to get everything done? It almost sounds like two different situations or persons in the verse,…
