Living Life as a Thank you – 2
Scott, Today is your Birthday! I hope it is happy and that 2016 is followed with unimaginable blessings and joy. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you thank you. I decided to increase my gratitude quotient, so I set a goal to hand write one thank-you-note a week–come what may–and write 52 thank-you…
Living Life as a Thank you – 1
TIBBY C. I thought would take this year and send a thank you note each week to someone who I needed to thank. It seems a bit cheesy because there is no way I can express my gratitude adequately but I will give it my best shot! Tibby! Today is your birthday! And it seemed…
60 years!
60 years ago….The world was very different than it was today. That is no surprise, but I do find it surprising that all that changes seems to happen without us realizing it. 60 years ago, life was pretty good; there were new inventions and conveniences and people couldn’t imagine life without them. Likewise, today, we…
The View of Gratitude 2015
This year for my discipline of giving thanks I am posting photos. I am thankful for more than this brief list will allow, and it is in random order, but join with me in the necessary privilege of becoming a more grateful person. ( I will be posting each day on facebook so this will…
Silly all used up
Have you ever watched kids play and create? If it has been awhile, you should stop what you are doing and make a plan to get to some kids and let them mentor you in the art of play. I am worried about the end of silliness and I hope mine never gets used up. …
Eulogy Virtues in action!
“Sometimes it is hard to be brave”, is what I shared. I usually don’t like to talk about my anxiety or my loneliness; in part because there are so many on the planet who have stuff to really worry about or be sad about. I really try to leave it at the throne, leaning in…
Entitlement, Recompense and Grace
I recently got a new car which is something I never imagined would happen. Of course it came with the stress of a payment and higher insurance as well as saying goodbye to a very reliable vehicle that was Jim’s car (I hope it will be sold soon). It is one more step away from…
My Spiritual Hall of Fame!
I read a facebook post by one of my friends whose train of thought went from a dog named Koufax to the Baseball Hall of Fame to her own spiritual Hall of Fame. The thought process is interesting. From there, I started wondering who would be in my Spiritual Hall of Fame if I had…
My Charmed Life
I live a charmed life! I was thinking about it after I got my latest charm bracelet in the mail today. It is going to be a prayer bracelet and it has maps on it with places that represent people and ministries that I love and pray for regularly. Charms have been in fashion for…
Psalm for my Sister
Years ago when I did calligraphy, I found and adapted a poem/prayer that I made for my sister, Martha. In honor of National Sisters day (which was Sunday), I thought I would reprint it here. I will lift my eyes and smile as I give thanks for my sister. My radiant, cleverly talented and godly sister,…
