Early morning is my best time, so I’m in bed by 9:30 or 10:00 pm.   Sometimes, if I’m wanting to relax before bedtime, I adorn my body with pajamas.   There’s no need for a description….but let me assure you, they’re comfortable.   My husband was out of town at the time, so it really didn’t matterContinue reading “ON THE LOOSE AT NIGHT”

It has been many years since the embryo of this true story emerged, but it always brings tears to my eyes because of its special nature. My Dad wasn’t well versed on “affirmation.”   He was orphaned when he was only eight years of age by his mother’s death, so he wasn’t equipped with many mentorsContinue reading “MAY I WASH YOUR FEET ?”

I so enjoy writing about friends.  God has orchestrated that many lovely people join me along my life’s journey.   This encounter was a “high calorie one.”    This friend is a wonderful baker.   Over the years of knowing her, I have always looked forward to desserts at her place.  They were always home-made, and presented veryContinue reading “HOW MANY COOKIES CAN YOU EAT ?”

Are you sometimes prone to think that if you are going to have coffee or dine with a friend that it must be at Starbucks, or a fancy restaurant?  Let me introduce you to a new location.   It won’t necessarily be fancy and the atmosphere may even leave a few things to be desired.  IContinue reading “OUTSIDE HOSPITALITY – MEALS ON WHEELS”

Each day we never know whose steps will interact with ours.  My joy and privilege was to greet people who come into our church.  This was such a delight for me.    I yearn that my life, in some small way, create a compelling environment to help people grow closer and deeper in their love andContinue reading “HOW ARE YOU? HOW ARE YOU REALLY?”

When I look back on my life, it seems as if I’ve always been “on the move.”   I mean that!    My Dad was in the Air Force and most of us are aware of the ingredients in the life of a military family. If you have never had friends who were in the service, allowContinue reading “HOUSE FOR SALE & EVERYTHING IN IT”

Do you have a “mentor?”   I have had many wonderful people who have mentored me in my life as a woman, wife, friend, and follower of Jesus Christ.   The dictionary beautifully shares what it means to be a mentor. Mentor:  a wise and trusted friend, coach, counselor, adviser, an influential supporter My husband and IContinue reading “FIREPLACE DINING AT A VERY TINY TABLE”

When you frequent a place, don’t you find that you gravitate to the same area sometimes, perhaps even the same row of seats?  And perish the thought if someone else should occupy “your seat” before your arrival.  This was a delightful, but cool, Sunday morning in October.   One of my favorite joys was about toContinue reading “BUS DELIVERY OF A NEW FRIEND”

It was the Christmas season and I was asking the Lord what type of activities we should be creating to celebrate Him.   My husband and I have never resided around family, so we’ve adopted and invited many a dear one to join us in celebrations over the years.   We gather them from church or ourContinue reading “GUESS WHO’S COMING FOR DINNER?”

It was an ordinary day and part of my ordinary day was escorting   our two little furry critters, Chelsea and Winnie, to the tranquil park behind our home.   I knew by the dogs’ behavior that morning they were getting restless and waiting for their walk.   It brings a chuckle to my heart when I recognizeContinue reading “THE BALL THAT WENT OVER THE FENCE”
