COUNTING MY BLESSINGS: FOR THERE ARE MANY
Christmas 2021 is almost upon us. Where has this year gone? Everything seems like one big blur and yet, as I reflect, I am more aware this Christmas than ever before of God's amazing blessings in my life. He truly is "the reason for the season". This season I have found myself reminiscing about former [...]
USE IT OR LOOSE IT
Last month I turned 69, so I am now living my 70th year. Wow!! For some reason, 70 is a big deal in my mind. I feel like I am getting ready to cross over into another country.....Senior Country. Every decade in life presents its own challenges, and I'm not so sure I am ready [...]
Should I Be Worried Now?
In 2020 the practice of worry seemed to take over our world. We were told to worry about EVERYTHING! And when we weren't worried, we heard on the news that we should be! So far 2021 isn't much better at alleviating any of my concerns. In fact, I have gone from being worried I might [...]

Course Correcting Season
“As I look back on my life, I realized that every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.”Annonymous Earlier this year I attended a small gathering of women with my daughter-in-law, Jill, and my granddaughter, Kenya. It was sponsored by a Christian lady who [...]
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
It has been really difficult to write my blog during this time of Covid19 isolation. When I sit down to write I want to encourage readers to stand strong and trust God (my latest blog), but so many others are doing such a great job doing that already. I've considered totally ignoring everything going on [...]
It’s Time to Stand in Faith: A Story of God’s Provision
In the last few weeks I have been asking myself questions like "how do I stay strong in this fear driven world?" And "what if I get this virus?" And even "what if my income is affected by this shaky economy?" I'm sure you have found yourself asking the same questions. There is so much [...]
