CELEBRATING WORK . . .
Here we are – another Labor Day. I believe I’ve gone through several of these celebrations over my 82-year lifespan. It seems ironic that we would celebrate workers by taking a day off of work to do so. However, when … Continue reading
WHO ARE THE REAL HEROES?
Memorial Day provides us with another to honor our military, but this particular one gives us the opportunity to thank God for those who were willing to lay their lives in the ultimate service of their country. Memorial Day usually … Continue reading
MAY 7TH – NATIONAL TEACHER DAY
Since this is teacher appreciation week, I thought I’d talk about some of the teachers who influenced my life. When I was in kindergarten, there was the kind, elderly, Mrs. Braham. She was one of those very ample women, much like … Continue reading
MAY FIFTH – A VERY SPECIAL DAY
The month of May is filled with new things. The freshness of new growth. The delight of seeing little buds appearing on trees and emerging from the ground. The promise of lots of colors to bless our gardens and resplendent … Continue reading
HAPPY FEBRUARY 2024
Here we go again. Time to flip the page on your calendar. This is the shortest month of the year. This year we’re getting an extra day. I never quite understood the whole concept of leap year. So, do we get out our pogo … Continue reading
THANKSGIVING IS OVER – NOW WHAT?
When one holiday flows into another, we can become overwhelmed with parties, family gatherings, lots of selfies and anticipation for the next one. I recall walking through a Hobby Lobby last July, only to see that all the summer things … Continue reading
CHRISTMASES PAST – part two . . .
My maternal grandmother was always on top of Christmas. She had a lot of grandchildren. They weren’t wealthy – just an ordinary couple of farmers who never failed to remember those they loved. It seemed there was one tradition that … Continue reading
WE ARE FAMILY . . .
There’s nothing like a family gathering to get your heart pumping, your eyes alert, your ears partially aware and your hugs so meaningful. The pictures from yesterday show the intensity of watching football on TV – the sharing of fun … Continue reading
GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD
Today is Thanksgiving, 2023. It’s time for us to stuff ourselves beyond capacity – to fill every empty cavity with carbs and sugar – a time to forget about calories and just let ‘er rip. After that, it’s a time … Continue reading
THANKSGIVING WEEK
This week started with a Thanksgiving dinner at our church. It had been a tradition for some time to enjoy a potluck feast the Sunday before the actual holiday – that is until the pandemic. Three years of isolation, with … Continue reading
THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY
“As full of spirit as the month of May, and as gorgeous as the sun in Midsummer.” ― William Shakespeare It’s May. It’s May – the merry month of May. Originating in Ireland this holiday was designed to welcome spring with … Continue reading
FOR GOD SO LOVES YOU . . .
I love you with all my heart! I’d do anything for you! You are the most important person in my life! These are phrases that will be written or said today as we honor those we love. Shouldn’t every day … Continue reading
THANKSGIVING MONTH
Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that’s been sandwiched in to fill the end of the year calendar. We don’t always stop to give thanks for the blessings we’ve received, but maybe it’s time we did. Last month, October, the … Continue reading
TRADITION
And so it begins – the onset of the holiday season – a time of gathering, sharing, giving, receiving and love. This week families will gather and share in a bounteous meal, reminiscent of their past. Turkey or ham will … Continue reading
WORLD PASSWORD DAY
There are so many weird holidays. You can even make up you own if you want to. Today happens to be World Password Day. How do you feel about them? For me, if I don’t write them down, I forget … Continue reading
THANKSGIVING #3, 2018
For the past few years I’ve been sharing in the Thanksgiving feast of my youngest daughter’s extended family. Her mother in law hosts this gathering each year and puts on a spread you wouldn’t believe. There is so much food … Continue reading
ANTICIPATION
This is the season of anticipation. We look forward with hearts wide open to what’s coming. Like the little child who can’t wait to open his presents – or the grandma longing to be with her family again – or the young … Continue reading
