I woke up this morning to a cold house! Sometime in the last two days our heater stopped working downstairs. I found out yesterday my car needs big, repairs before it can pass the emissions test I need to renew my tags, and my body is feeling the after effects from a stomach virus. I […]

The Treasures Around Us.

It’s paradise, they say, or at least as close as you can get to it! Looking around it would seem so! The vegetation is so lush all around you, every shade of green broken up my bright pinks, creamy whites and bold reds. Sitting on this balcony gazing out at the blue waves that stretch […]
How to Move Forward

It was one of those mornings that was so hard to get up. I managed to drag myself up, shower and sit down with a cup of tea and the Word. But it was so hard and everything fought for my attention. Plans for the day and the weariness of yesterday. We drove 10 hours […]
When Joy and Heartbreak Collide.

It’s earlier than usual as I climb into bed. This big, soft empty bed. I try not to go to bed early. I want to be as tired as I can, read, watch something on Netflix, go to bed tired. So tired that I can’t keep my eyes open. Then I am too tired, too […]

The Practice of Giving Thanks.

1 Thess. 1:2 says, “ We give thanks to God always for all of you. Bearing in mind your work of faith, labor of love, and steadfast hope in our Lord Jesus… knowing His choice of you. As we begin a Season of “Giving Thanks” It is such an opportunity to not get […]
October’s Promise

Did you know that just like spring gives us the promise of new life, fall has it’s own sweet promise that it whispers? We see it as we watch a crimson leaf drift quietly to the ground. It’s in the golden light that drifts through the trees of the waning day and in the cool […]
Day Six- Hope that is Seen is no hope at all!

Hope that is seen is no hope at all. For who hopes for what he already sees? This friends, this one stops me in my tracks. Let’s just take a moment and look at something beautiful. Even these flowers show hope. Once they were but tiny seeds. That were placed in a very dark place. […]
