The news hit me like a ton of bricks! How could anything good come from it?

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.

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
