He looks out for us
As a parent we just want to give our children the best that we can. For we love them so very much. We want to guide, protect, bring them joy, give them a good life. Friend, God wants to do that for us too! For we are His children. In life things are not always…

Dandelion blessings
I thought of a memory today of when my youngest was much smaller. I remember being in a hurry, for a reason I don’t even recall. Though what I do remember is the lesson I learned on that day. He had been taking longer to get going than I had wanted him to. I was…

Trust in His plan
When things are hard, we ask God, “why?” We can’t always make sense of things. Though I have come to realize, it isn’t about us making sense of it, as long as He does. God is loving, all-knowing, and is always looking out for our good. So, even when we can’t always make sense of…

Forgiveness and Grace
Forgiveness is an act of grace. An action much easier said than at times done. Someone recently really upset me. Although I think there was more hurt and disappointment, than anger. This person humbly apologized to me. I almost immediately wanted to be prideful though. I wanted to say more on how upset that I…

Marriage is a blessing
It was quiet, except for my music that played. Our kids were busy in other rooms of our house. I had been doing dishes, as my husband folded the laundry. I walked over to him and asked him for a dance. So, there we were slow dancing in our living room. It was an unexpected…

Birthdays
Today I am thinking about birthdays. When we were little, we celebrated our birthdays with enthusiasm. We looked forward to balloons, cupcakes, ice cream. It’s a big celebration of life and the opportunity to be a whole year older. Then, as we age, we stop celebrating it as much. In fact, some stop counting the…

Show gratitude
It is amazing how much we take for granted sometimes. We compare what we have, to what others may have. We cast judgment on some things, that others might just be grateful to have. We may look at others and want more, not giving enough gratitude for what we do have. We may look at…

Care for one another
Today while working, a man came in with his caregiver to the salon where I work, to get his haircut. He was a grown man, but with a mental disability of some sort. He was a bit like a child, stuck in a grown man’s body. There was this sweet innocence to him. I could…
