My Incredible Journey with God
I can hardly believe 2016 is almost over! Like most years, we have some regrets and some events we are more pleased to recall. When looking at writing resolutions, concentrate on the future, not the past. We can choose to move forward or get bogged down in the mistakes of the past. Move forward with…
In the hecticness of our busy lives it is easy to forget or not even realize that there are people living in true poverty. Taking a drive through select areas of our city yesterday brought this issue to the forefront of my mind. It doesn’t really matter if it was a matter of poor choices, laziness…
Sometimes it can be difficult to forgive. Often what it holding us back is family pain or pain related to a crime. We know the right thing to do is to forgive because holding on makes us bitter and prolongs the pain. But how do we forgive when the pain is so real and we…
One way we can change the world for others and ourselves is to show gratitude to the people we come in contact with daily. This is especially important during the holidays when people are stressed. There are so many things we can do and each of us has our own unique gifts. For example, I…
Have you ever found yourself repeatedly praying for the same things? Well, you are not alone. In Mark 11:24 Jesus tells us “therefore I say unto you. What things you soever desire when ye pray, believe you receive them and you shall have them.” Therefore, if we continually ask after praying, we must not have…
Christmas was wonderfuI! I enjoyed spending time with my family at home, church, work and social groups. We had a nice Christmas surprise, when my brother-in-law visited unexpectedly. There was plenty of food and fun. I will most likely be dieting all year to lose my holiday weight. What a blessing it is to have…
This morning I awoke to the sounds of my husbands dressing for work. I can hardly believe that today is Christmas Eve. This morning the preparations begin. Cleaning house and baking. The scents are already dancing in my head. My children, parents and grandson will be here tomorrow, which warms my heart. However, tonight is…
When I think back over the last two months, it seemed to fly by in seconds. We were greeting children dressed up for Halloween with candy, and I turned around to find Christmas was already here. Caught up in the day to day rat race, I missed much of the joy of the holiday season….
Happy Friday! Christmas is right around the corner. Did you know that when we actively look for ways to brighten the days for others, that we are happier? So, today smile and wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and look for ways to brighten their day. Maybe leave a note for someone. Look for ways to…
Holiday treats and parties have sure taken a toll on my waistline. Over indulgence is a problem for me throughout the year, especially with my low levels of exercise due to Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. It seems to catch me off guard. Every day my pants grow a little tighter until one night I have…
Good morning! Everyone is super busy with Christmas only a few days away. Last minute shopping, gatherings, Christmas parties, work, and the list goes on and on. This week I have been thinking of those I know and those I don’t know personally who are at home or in a nursing home without family to…
Good morning! It’s Tuesday and time again to try something new. This week I challenge you to really listen to people when they are speaking and watch their body language. I started listening closely about a week ago, and God began revealing to me the true spirit of those around me. One lady was always…
