Every day of the year we receive from the Lord’s hand the blessing of sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. Every day of the year we receive His blessings in the form of light, the sun’s warmth, or clouds or rain or snow (well we don’t get that in the coastal regions of Southern California), and also […]
Happy Thanksgiving! The day after Thanksgiving, I’m sure we’re all still recovering from our Thanksgiving meal. To me, it seems that every year our food gets better and better. Our dietary needs have changed drastically from our first Thanksgiving. Yet, despite not being able to have your “traditional” dishes, the women in our family have found ways […]
Despite the nation who were the first to celebrate Thanksgiving, we English folk, unfortunately, do not observe this as a national holiday. We are, however, capable of being thankful. I have only participated so far in two Thanksgivings so, as you can probably tell, I don’t have many experiences or memories in this field. The ones I […]
In Holland, they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but being part of an American family, we would still celebrate it. As far as I can remember, we would have family and close friends join us in the celebration. The time together was always very enjoyable; the weather nice and cold, which, I must say, I miss. Currently, in Southern […]
God’s Grace Many decades ago God, in His mercy, rescued me from darkness into His light. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Road trips with my beloved About once […]
We are in the month of November. The stores are either stocked for Thanksgiving or Christmas. On the radio and TV things are geared for Thanksgiving and Black Friday. I have always valued this time of year for many different reasons. I have enjoyed the holidays when families get together. In our family holidays, the focus was […]
Whoohohooo!!! (Hi everyone!!!) They, the family, have asked me to write something about myself. Really??? Me?? Writing??? No way! My paws already hurt just thinking about it. I will just do Morse code and have someone else do the writing for me! How’s that? Much better, right?! My Family Well, let’s see, where do I start? […]
Well, here’s some grandparent insight: Getting married doesn’t make a good marriage. Getting married is just the first step of a lifelong commitment to seek the Lord’s help. Through His Word, the Bible, we can become the husband or wife that will bring glory and honor to God Himself. Just so you know, after fifty-four years, we […]
Ask my family and they’ll tell you that I go through phases. One month I’m spending all my time wood burning, another month I’m coloring, another month I’m designing with typography, and so it goes. With each of the things I do, I go through phases. I still enjoy each one thoroughly, but sometimes I’m in the […]
What inspires me? This was always the hardest question for me to answer when I was growing up, because, truth be told… nothing inspired me! There I would be, merrily going my own way without a care in the world or thought for the future. But thankfully I can say that is no longer the case. Now […]
