Listen to me, if I could sit down with you and tell you all that has happened in my life, it would be one marveling session after another!

An Attitude for Gratitude
“Thank you, Gram!” I cannot tell you how those 3 words melt my heart! But they surely do! A face lighting and heartwarming experience like none other for a grandmother.

Looking Back (Day 26)
Looking back over my posts from previous “dairy & sugar fasts," I'm reminded of how graciously patient the Lord is with me.

So much of this earthly life is lived in limbo! Like when you are waiting nine months for a baby to be born, not to mention twenty-seven hours of labor to meet that new baby, like my youngest daughter pulled off! And almost as bad, is the waiting for text messages reassuring you everything is … Continue reading His Desire for Me
Airport Protocols
Not a good way to start the day off; I put the Southwest worker in a bad mood! He asked me to move aside twice. My boarding pass would not load, and then I brought up my hubby’s instead of mine. 🤦🏼♀️ As I smiled through his impatience, I wondered why ALL airports could not … Continue reading Airport Protocols
Music is not in Externals, but the Soul
Those of you who follow my blog know my favorite devotional is probably my Streams in the Desert 1. No matter how many times I read the stories, they still move me to tears. And one of my favorite accounts is about the great violinist, Paganini. He came out before his audience one day and … Continue reading Music is not in Externals, but the Soul
