A beautiful story

I’ve heard this before but thought it was such a beautiful story, I wanted to share. It goes well with my reflection for today. I may have cried a little… who am I kidding, I sobbed. May be always seek this kind of perfection in living. Until next time… ♥️

It’s Going to Be Okay

This advent I’ve been preaching on Joy – hopeful joy, loving joy, unabashed joy, and today will be peaceful joy. Hopeful joy – I shared how we can find hope and joy in the most unexpected places.  I had a memorial service the day before and so I was able to share how even in... Continue Reading →

Christmas In July – More Traditions

Yesterday I reminisced about Christmas traditions, specifically ornament making. I have so many other traditions I could share and maybe I will but in going down memory lane I'm reminded that traditions are fun and important too but they shouldn't consume us or close the door on new ideas and traditions.  Sometimes as we grow...

Does anybody have a map? Anybody maybe happen to... Continue Reading →

Life to Live

What a wonderful week!  Time with my Daring Daughter is priceless.  We celebrated, we talked, we walked, we ate (A LOT). We watched movies, we read books, we sat quietly together, we laughed, we cried.  I think we have made the most of every moment.  We still have a few more days together but I... Continue Reading →
