I'm sitting here at my desk, looking out my window. Today it is bright and sunny. Those are the best days for me. Give me sunshine and I am a happy girl. Light means a lot to me!
Looking to Tame the Tongue
I have generally been accused of being a Pollyanna. I try to look at most things in a positive light. I am not a big talker, especially if I am around people that I do not know. In that instance, I tend to measure my words a little more closely. I find that when I … Continue reading Looking to Tame the Tongue
Focusing on the Promised Gift
Have you ever waited for something that you were promised would happen? It seemed to be taking a long time and you were just not sure it was going to happen? I think that is how Christmas seems for children, like it is far, far away. It is a gift you have promise of, but … Continue reading Focusing on the Promised Gift
Examine the Grace of Love
This one may be a little long. I have so much to say and don’t really know how to say it, or how to shorten it. So I am not really worried about word count tonight. We run through life and, if we are blessed enough, we meet many people, make a number of acquaintances … Continue reading Examine the Grace of Love
Tears Will Be Wiped Away From Our Eyes
We just finished Christmas Eve with my family. We had finger foods to eat. We ended up watching a Christmas movie I had not seen, and we exchanged gifts. Our gatherings are much smaller these days. There are folks not here that we miss and folks not here that hurt our hearts; the hardest two … Continue reading Tears Will Be Wiped Away From Our Eyes
The Glimmer and Glow of True Treasure

While others treasure possessions. I think we all have a few possessions that we treasure. I have mentioned before in previous posts that some of my … Continue reading The Glimmer and Glow of True Treasure
See the Silence
I posted a blog a few years ago about trying to find some quiet time between a college campus and a hotel. There was not a solitary place to be found in either location on that particular day. There was definitely no silence to be seen. Now, as we are knee deep in a time … Continue reading See the Silence

Gaze Toward Your Gift
There are times that you don’t remember you have blanked something out of your memory bank, especially when it has been a long time since the experience. You are going along and someone mentions something about an upcoming event that they are going to participate in, so you throw your hat into the ring, even though … Continue reading Gaze Toward Your Gift
Keep an Eye on the Path so You Don’t Stumble
You know, I may need to rethink wondering around in the mall by myself at Christmas time. It is not generally something I do a lot during really busy times anyhow. But I do sometimes tend to get a stubborn streak and think I can still do all the things I used to be able to … Continue reading Keep an Eye on the Path so You Don’t Stumble
