BEING A MOM – EXPECTATION & REALITY
So, you’re having a baby! One of the most fulfilling, life-changing, magnificent, delightful, loving events in a woman’s life. It will definitely change you forever. When you first get the news that you’re going to carry a child within your … Continue reading
WHAT IS A FAMILY?
“Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.” James Dobson Having or being … Continue reading
THE GLORY OF AUTUMN
The grandeur of a summer day, the warmth of golden sun, The birth emerging from the trees, new life has now begun, Incomparable perception, upon the highest heights, Of golden fields and new mown hay and other glorious sights, Of unpolluted … Continue reading
GROWING OUR FAITH
Faith is one of those words used to explain something that we can’t see.It’s putting trust into something without having proof of its existence. But it’s so much more than that! To have faith, we must have confidence that the … Continue reading
WHEN WILL THE RIDE END?
Life is like a roller coaster sometimes, isn’t it? You reach peaks throughout your journey and suddenly find yourself in the pits. I feel a little like Forest Gump this morning. I never have liked roller coasters. In fact, the … Continue reading
SERENDIPITOUS SUNDAY
One day the world is fresh and green and just like that it’ fades unseen, Like chaffs of grain or husks of corn, they pass from life, we grieve, we mourn, The wind will sweep them far and wide, they … Continue reading
THEATRICALIZING THURSDAY
My word for the day is “Theatricalizing.” This is what I do. I am a theatricalizer – or a Thespian – a playwright -a performer – an actor – and old to boot. This has been my chosen profession for … Continue reading
WHITHERSOEVER WEDNESDAY
I love exploring unusual words and I particularly love the way some words sound as they roll off the tongue. The old English language is especially poetic and probably why many people use the King James version of the Bible. … Continue reading
A LOVE LETTER FROM GOD
This poem was written a number of years ago but might be a good way to send your children off to school. When there are so many dangers they must face each day – when they need encouragement – when … Continue reading
THE HARDEST TEARS
When we cry in silence, I think it’s probably the best time to communicate with God. Not that we should be sad when we pray, but that we feel so connected to Him, that we have no fear in laying … Continue reading
WHAT’S ON THE OTHER SIDE?
Your hand created all that is, it’s right before our eyes, You breathed the breath of life in us, the earth, the sea and skies, Every tiny cell and atom, lay in your strong control, You crafted each and every … Continue reading
AGING WITH GRACE
As we grow older, we’ve developed so many layers that our skin naturally becomes thick and hardened. Each day we encounter something that causes us to falter, to waiver, to hurt and to give up.  We build a shield of protection around ourselves … Continue reading
WHY PRAY?
I’ve never had too much of a problem writing down my thoughts. I guess this is the way I can express myself without actually speaking the words. As I grow older, the words I speak get garbled or I use … Continue reading
HUMP DAY HUMOR
Wednesdays have been labeled, “Hump Day” since the 1950s. The middle day of the work week gives the employee hope for an end of it, and the promise of a weekend filled with rest and recreation. Unfortunately, the weekend is … Continue reading
WHAT’S YOUR REALITY?
I think it’s time for a reality show that actually shows normal people, living ordinary lives, going through difficulties, joys, fun times, death, pain, grief. Thus it would be the life of moi and probably a lot of other people … Continue reading
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR WORTH
There are so many times in life that we feel inadequate or unintelligent. I could tell you that everyone goes through these feelings, but that isn’t going to solve the problem of a poor self-image. I guess time will heal … Continue reading
MOTHERHOOD REALITY
Mother’s Day has come and gone, but I’m concerned about how much parenting has changed over my lifetime. I’ve seen women go through a time of total submission to complete domination in the course of only some fifty years. They … Continue reading
THROW BACK THURSDAY
Almost six years ago, we were in the throes of looking for a new house. Time was running out and we felt like we’d never find our next dwelling place. Memories of another time, when our world caved in. It … Continue reading
