Belated Mother’s Day Blessings!

Happy belated Mother’s Day to you all. My Mother’s Day was calm, intimate, and quiet. My eldest son took a very long-awaited camping trip to see his in-laws in Texas, but not before bringing a beautiful bouquet of flowers over before they left. My eldest son always loves giving me flowers even when he wasContinue reading “Belated Mother’s Day Blessings!”

Tending to Our Spiritual Garden

Ever wonder why a question just pops into our heads? A question that had nothing to do with what we were doing at the time, and we shooed it away, like a pesky fly buzzing around our head. Then a week, month, or year goes by and the same question floats back into our headContinue reading “Tending to Our Spiritual Garden”

The Card

Looks like we in America are being pressed with the next “voluntary” push to get more citizens of the USA to get the card. A “Real” ID card.

Raindrops💦& A few Packs of Seeds!

There is something about getting one’s hands in soil after a good down pour. Seeing a saturated garden turning the dry tan dirt into a rich black soil, as it drinks in the rain. Today, I enjoyed digging into the black nutrient dense earth, unearthing plump worms watching them move deeper into the soil,  IContinue reading “Raindrops💦& A few Packs of Seeds!”

Day Light Savings Time

When I was young, I thought daylight savings gave us more time to play outside with my friends in the neighborhood. When we began our family, I looked at daylight savings time as a way for me to get more house chores done in between nursing babies, piles of laundry, baseball games, choir rehearsals, andContinue reading “Day Light Savings Time”

A Beautiful Moment

Our A Little Joyful Noise Ensemble was called back together to sing one of our own member’s home. It was bitter sweet, even though it had been five months since we ministered together, we came together as if we had never stopped.
