I know it isn't our anniversary yet, but felt I wanted to write a little about our life together.  Life never turns out just how we expect.  Too many variables and choices to make to be right all the time even when seeking God's will.  However, after 49 years with my honey, I really thought … Continue reading Never thought

Has it really been three days since I last wrote. This was a really busy week. Reading through Proverbs I came across a verse that I hadn't thought of in a long while: Proverbs 4:18 "The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn which shines brighter and brighter until the full day." … Continue reading Brighter and Brighter

I have 3 daughter-in-laws.  Women who have chosen to marry my 3 sons.  They have been married for 25; 23; and 17 years now.  Each has graced our family with wonderful grandchildren.  I know many women who are very critical of their DILs, but we have certainly been blessed with ours.  I call them friends … Continue reading Daughter-in-laws

Awoke this morning to the sound of the rain on the roof and thanked God. What a beautiful sound with the thunder rolling and a hard falling rain. Our area really needed it. It is now calm between storms. Sometimes life is like that. Really hard drenching storms and then finally the calm, cool time … Continue reading It’s raining

My elder son called last night to tell me his and his family are moving out of state.  He has accepted a job offer that is a promotion and so is moving.  And here I thought they were settled just 4 hours away by car.  I liked that idea even though these past few years … Continue reading Changes
