  • Have you ever felt numb?

    Have you ever felt numb?

    Agree with God that you will follow him one day at a time.

  • Hope

    Hope

    Psalm 147:11 The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.  Hope I can lose 10 lbs. before the wedding. Hope the diagnosis is good. Hope I don’t get Covid-19 (too late already had it). Hope this virus will go away!! Hope Jesus will return soon! Hope I…

  • Shared Blessings

    Shared Blessings is a collection of recipes and memories dedicated to family and friends who shared their lives and cooking skills with me. My family appreciates you and I do too!

  • Blessings of J O Y!

    Blessings of J O Y!

    Ventured out today to inspect the blueberry crop.  A few days ago, they were full of blooms. Several nights of cold temps in 30’s and some frost – but always sun came up and warmed up early.  So surely, they made it???? Sad to report just few blossoms survived.  If these make it through tonight’s…

  • Arise My Love

    Arise My Love

    Every February when I read devotions from “My Utmost for His Highest”, I remember this part of our lives.

    Come Along

    2 Corinthians 1:3-5 The Message (MSG) 3-5 All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel!

  • Alive and Grateful

    Alive and Grateful

    I’m thankful the word of God speaks to our needs daily. Because of health reasons my husband does not attend church with me some Sundays.  Friends will ask, “How is John?”  Being the honest person that I am – I say, “He is hurting, he didn’t sleep last night or not too good today.”  Wanting…

  • Soul Special

    Soul Special

    This was a gift from my first daughter-in-law on Mother’s Day. A picture of my mother and poem reflecting how special she was. Yolanda had never met my mother – I’m sure our son Johnny shared with her about what a wonderful “Nana” my mother was to him.   Happy Mother’s Day to both my…

  • What’s in a Name?

    What’s in a Name?

    Greeting a young couple in church I spoke to their baby girl and she smiled.  I asked her name.  It was Cameron.  I could remember her name because my grandson has the same name. Eli’s daughter-in-law named her son Ichabod.  Can you imagine naming your child Ichabod??? The ark of God was captured by the…

  • Walk in Faith

    What is the opposite of faith?  Most would say doubt or fear! What do you fear?   If you are like me, you don’t really have any fears – you’re a stoic person.  You just trust God on the surface.  But subconsciously there is fear.  Fear of the future, fear of what if????  Fear of…
