Home Sweet Home

I missed you, my on-line friends, more than you know. Your prayers and sweet comments set me up for lots of favor in my travels. I am back in Arizona and refreshed and renewed. Our family reunion in Chicago was a blessing. As I reflect back, I ponder so many amazing droplets of God's kindness to me...

My wonderful traveling companion, Amy, my oldest daughter...
Amy spent a night on the town visiting Navy Pier with her cousins...

I enjoyed my Mom and siblings and got to spend some special moments with each of them...



And laughter rained down among us just I hoped...


The icing on the cake was a weekend in San Diego before returning to Phoenix...
My girls got to catch up on each other...




I got to play with Susanna...


I'm one blessed woman!

I look forward to catching up on your lives, my friends. I hope all is well with you. Can't wait to visit you!

    We missed you too sister! Nice pictures of your family! Sooo glad you're back and that you had a wonderful time with your family and lots of answered prayers! Isn't it rejuvenating to see family members after a long time of not seeing each other? Well, it feels that way too with bloggy friends when someone is not able to be online for a while... Happy that we get to hear from you again.

    Glory to God! Have a restful sleep tonight...Love you in Christ.

    My Dear, Dear Friend,

    It's so great to have you back! I've missed you! Boy could I use a vacation right now. Your family is beautiful and each one with broadened smiles like you sweet sister. It's so wonderful to hear that the Lord blessed your time together and the extra special time you got to spend with both of your girls and grandbaby too!

    Have a peaceful sleep this night dear one.

    My love to you,

    It just goes to show you how much I've been with it. The e-mail above should not of showed up. I'm tired and my mind has been working in over-drive.

    Love you,

A Memorial Day Reflection

  Memorial Day is always noteworthy for me and my girls.  Next Thursday marks the third year of missing their father, my husband. So many thoughts  run through my mind.  The journey of loss takes on various emotions.  The strongest feeling, at first, was emptiness.  In a split second, I would forget he departed forever.  I imagined things I needed to talk to him about when he got back home.  My mind is realistic now.  He's not coming back.  There will be no more times of sitting on the porch swing together on the front deck staring at the moon and the stars.  He would tell me all he knew about the majestic night sky. I have so much I wish I could tell him, like the excitement of seeing our oldest grandchild make a decision to follow Jesus and get baptized on Mother's Day!  And our little Amy, 11 years old, I wish he could have seen her on stage receiving her induction to the National Honor Society. Our daughters have their own ...

Mama's Lipstick

I always wished I could do things with my mom like shop in the mall, share makeup secrets or go to the movies and watch romantic comedies.  My wish never materialized.     My mama behaved like a tomboy.   She loved baseball and pitched with a strong right arm.   She could care less about the latest fashion or the latest movies featured on the big screen.   She never polished her fingernails.    One day after elementary school, I walked into the house to find my mom all dolled up in front of the bathroom mirror, foundation crème, powder, eyebrow pencil and rouge all over the counter sink.  “Who are you?” I asked, thrilled to see my mama putting on the Ritz.  Makeup in place and blotted, she immediately took it off.  “I don’t like the way it feels,” she exclaimed. She retired in Arizona and protected her dry lips with a light rose lipstick, the color of natural lips, a step above ChapStick.  She wore it a few tim...

Book Review of Biblical Minimalism and Give Away

What does minimizing look like?  To the empty nester it may mean downsizing real estate.  To the co-dependent, it may mean pitching some toxic friendships they tend to collect.  I thought I had a handle on Biblical minimalism, but I wasn’t even close.  Biblical minimalism is much more than cleaning out a drawer and discarding unwanted things into a box to take to the thrift store. In her book, Biblical Minimalism, Cheryl E. Smith defines Biblical minimalism as “a complete, whole person release of anything unlike Jesus, a letting go of everything that hinders us from following Him wholeheartedly and single- mindedly , and a relinquishing of all that brings us under bondage to this earthly, very temporary life.” The author gives us a visual of a whole pie that is divided into eight slices.  Each slice describes our lives with areas to analyze to see if pruning or adjustment is needed.  I won’t name them all, but one example is the “emotional ...
