Love Ya!



Today I’m thanking Andrea from Arise 2 Write for her kindness to me. She gave me this Love Ya Award and then she told me I deserve it. This award is about friendship. I enjoy seeing friendships emerge among bloggers; it’s a taste of Heaven. So, I have to tell you, I feel very blessed that Andrea gave it to me. Now it’s my turn to pass it on. Here are the rules to follow:

The "Love Ya" Award states: These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to other bloggers who must choose to pass it on and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award!

Karen, at Lily Valley, writes with encouragement to those of us who enjoy praying for others. You’ll always learn something here!

Kay, at Dream Big, is a lovely woman of God and friend to people. Her humor lifts me.

Peter, at When I Am Weak, Then I am Strong, ministers about depression. He lifts me up every time I visit.

Debbie, at Heart Choices, is a friend to all. Every time I read Debbie’s writing, I see how she is eager to help people any way that she can. What a friend!

Loren, at The Magoos News, will touch your heart with her writing and she offers her friendship along with her inspiring words.

Christy Rose, at The Secret Life Of An American Wife and Mom, amazes me. She’s a busy one, but always has time to uplift a friend. Reading her comments is as inspiring as her writing.

I encourage you to visit my friends soon. Friendship is a gift from God. One of my favorite names of Jesus is “friend.” God bless and keep you today!

I'm Going as Abigail This Year

I vote for more purses, toothbrushes, cups, storybooks, and Halloween costumes that feature Abigail of the Old Testament.  She is a heroin worthy to emulate, in my opinion, even more than Cinderella. Once upon a time, there was a kind woman by the name of Abigail who lived with a surly man who liked to drink a lot and have parties.  One time, King David and his army were very hungry and entered the surly man’s homestead and asked if they could come to his barbecue.  The king had a right to ask because he and his men protected the homestead’s boundary lines.  The surly man said “No.  Get off my property.”  The King had a temper and became offended. Surly drunk + spiteful King = War In the meantime, Abigail heard about the situation and spent hours baking cinnamon rolls for the King and his army.  She dismounted from her horse and presented the King with her peace offering.  She bowed low and greeted the King and asked his forgi...

The Architect

I don’t recall any other year feeling so intimate with our Lord regarding my one word as in 2015.  God’s GRACE laced my ordinary days and each night, before falling asleep I would recall grace, so apparent, in the events of the day! Memories also surfaced of grace in my past and I knew I had to write about them.  I felt compelled to share the grace that blanketed my personal life.  Thank you for reading my stories over this past year.  Your comments support and encourage me. I received my new word, “Creator,” and felt perplexed as every year wondering what my one word would unveil.   What does God want me to learn about His name, Creator?   I wonder if I should join my girlfriend, Peggy, more often when she leads nature hikes in the mountains of Sedona.  Does God want me to appreciate and to praise Him for the beauty of His creation all year? I think it’s more than that.  A Scripture verse springs up in my min...

Summer Touches of Grace

Summer may be behind us now, but the memories are fresh and the lessons they taught me rest deep within my soul. Do grown daughters with busy lives of their own crave mother-daughter time?  I am so glad mine do!  Summer afforded me several one-on-one occasions with each of them. I forgot what a pretty city Tucson is although my oldest daughter didn’t enjoy the heat as much as me.  The resort’s pool made up for any discomfort! My youngest daughter is a power prayer warrior.  We strolled along the Coronado Beach at sunset praying for our family and friends.  I cherish times like these, just her and me….and God.  I am lavishly fulfilled when I think of the summer days with the daughter of my heart.  Thank you, friends, for your concern for Angie.  She made it through her surgery but complications sent her back to the hospital weeks later.    Chronic pain restricts this compassionate, ...
