When I was growing up I used to love (and still do) to sing “Count Your Blessings.” I don’t think we count our blessings enough. I know I don’t. The song says to count them one by one. Recently, my husband and I sat down and typed up every blessing we could think of. It… Continue reading Blessings

In the Moment
Jesus lived in the moment. His ministry was only 3 years long, but during those short years, He accomplished more than any of us ever will or can in our lives. In one of my past blogs I talked about time and how it passes so quickly. In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon says everything… Continue reading In the Moment
OK?
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I’m not ok. I tend to overthink things often, and if I sit down and start thinking about myself, I realize I’m not ok. I call this self-evaluation.. I know people who never allow themselves to self-evaluate. They never really look at themselves, I mean really look, to… Continue reading OK?
Spirits
I recently took a CPR/First Aid certification class. During those 2 1/2 hours, our instructor kept saying the victim is dead, so you need to… This got me thinking. If we are dead when our heart stops, when does our spirit leave our body after death? I know if I keep trying to work on… Continue reading Spirits
Wait
As I write this blog today, I am in the hospital waiting area waiting for my brother to have his knee replacement surgery. Waiting is so hard. We spend so much of our time waiting in this life. We are waiting for surgeries to be over; waiting for time to change; waiting for things to… Continue reading Wait
Time
Last night Chris and I were watching a documentary on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. I grew up watching him. I remembered most of the clips they showed, and it brought back so many memories. It also made me kind of sad. I was brought to tears at a lot of the clips, and it got me… Continue reading Time
Thanks
When I first started this blog, I will admit that it was for myself. I was going through some personal issues at the time and just needed a place to voice thoughts and get some new thoughts! I want to take the time in a post to thank those of you who comment either on… Continue reading Thanks
Sing
I really like to sing. The only problem is that I don’t have a good voice. I cannot carry much of a tune. I like the new songs we sing during worship and the songs I hear on the radio. But there’s something to be said about the old hymns. I grew up listening to… Continue reading Sing
Yeah, I get it!
When I was younger, before I had any of my own kids, I would make a comment about my own mother out of frustration only to have my sister say, “You’ll understand when you have kids of your own.” How true that statement! I saw a post on Facebook the other day from a friend… Continue reading Yeah, I get it!
Weary
As an empty nest mom now, I look back on the years of raising two girls and wonder how I made it sometimes. Maybe you think about it sometimes too, or maybe you’re still right in the thick of it. Maybe you’re saying to yourself most days, ‘How am I going to get through this… Continue reading Weary
