The Whole House to Myself Did you all have a good Thanksgiving? How was the turkey? Well, I can’t tell you how my family’s turkey was because they did not even share one little piece with me! But…I am still thankful because I had the WHOLE house to myself and slept ALLLLL afternoon! The family celebrated Thanksgiving […]
Thanksgiving gains new meaning. Once again, we near what we call in America, Thanksgiving. We often reflect on what we are thankful for. Last year we looked at the work of Christ, and why our ultimate thanksgiving goes to God and without Him, we can’t really have a proper understanding of thanksgiving. Even our thanksgiving often seems […]
I know I’m a little early, but I just want to be the first person to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving! However I still need to add (like I did last year on this topic) I am a Brit…if you didn’t already know, we, unfortunately, don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, so I am new to this holiday, this […]
The dictionary states it as follows: “the expression of gratitude, especially to God.” Do you thank God for your life? For your Family? For your Job? Your Car? Food on the table? A roof you can sleep under? He is the one who has granted you a life to live. You could say, “well, I accomplished this […]
God’s Grace What is grace? A common definition says it is the “unmerited favor of God toward man.” In other words, it is favor from God that we don’t deserve. Everything we have in this life is a blessing from God; something we don’t deserve. When we look at Scripture, it is made clear what we deserve. […]
Short Story You have undoubtedly seen it happen – people in a store, looking at an item, then with a careless attitude, either dropping it or placing the item in another location in the store. Willina and I came upon a couple of ladies working hard to straighten up an aisle that had been disheveled. Without a […]
What wonderful expressions of what true “positive encouragement” is really about have been expressed in the last two week’s blogs. This week in the midst of life’s challenges, I (Grandma Willina) would like to share from a completely different vantage point. Once we have understood/learned “the basics” (as mentioned in the last two blogs), we can begin […]
I’m going to start out this blog post with a confession…I had this wrong for so long, instead of ‘positive encouragement’ I’ve been calling it ‘personal encouragement.’ So how about I personally give you some positive encouragement? Okay? Thanks for agreeing, I shall do that then! The Bad News Like what Dad wrote about last week, the […]
This month is positive encouragement month. We wondered the other day, as a family, why it is positive encouragement month, isn’t encouragement always positive? But we realized that the word could be used in different ways. Encouragement can be used as in heartening or cheering up. The dictionary defines it as “the action of giving someone support, […]
When one has had the privilege of putting in around eighty years of wear and tear on these bones, there are many milestones that have passed by. Most of my (Kent) milestones of my younger years were spread out between California, Colorado, and Washington State, living in (+/-) fourteen places and attending nine different grade schools. Whereas, […]
