FOR THE LOVE OF CHILDREN
I love children; always have. Even as a child, I enjoyed it when a baby cousin accompanied an aunt or uncle visiting our home. I always thought babies had their own uniqueness; soft skin, sparkling eyes, and a sweet, fresh smell all their own. Unless they needed a diaper change! My love for children continuedContinue reading “FOR THE LOVE OF CHILDREN”
SPIRITUAL SERMON SUNDAY
Today was a beautiful day, a little warm, but not as humid as yesterday. At church this morning, our Pastor gave a compelling Sunday Message that has stayed with me all day. It was a sermon about acceptance, showing compassion and love, to all who walk through our doors; no matter what. As our churchContinue reading “SPIRITUAL SERMON SUNDAY”
DANDELIONS PUFFS
Tonight when I took my evening walk, I noticed some dandelions were already getting their little white puff heads.

When I arrived home, I satContinue reading “DANDELIONS PUFFS”

Do you remember the song, What the World Needs Now? It’s a song about love; not just for one but for everyone. I thought about that song a lot today. In fact, I thought about it so much, the tune is permanently stuck in my head. When I read the paper, or listen to the news,Continue reading “WARM-HEARTED WEDNESDAY”
TENDER WORDS THURSDAY
One of my favorite Proverbs is: Kind words are like honey-sweet to the taste and good for your heart. Sometimes when we are having a bad day, kind words are hard to find. Sometimes our words are driven by the emotions we are feeling at the moment. Sometimes we do not fully realize how thoseContinue reading “TENDER WORDS THURSDAY”
MOTIVATIONAL MERRY MONDAY
Today is the first Monday in December. It was a good day. My husband and I picked up four cemetery pieces and placed three of them on the graves of my parents, my late husband, and his parents. They were beautiful freshly made pillows filled with a variety of greens, with a red ribbon, andContinue reading “MOTIVATIONAL MERRY MONDAY”
