In Part I, I announced My One Word, Silence, for 2014, and the benefits I have found through my conversion to one word rather than a list of resolutions. Following is a list of how one word can help shape my character and draw me nearer to God if practiced diligently, keeping in mind it's about progress, not perfection. … Continue reading Silence – Part II

Attaining Happiness
“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, or worn. It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace & gratitude.” -Denis Waitley All is Grace.
Serenity Through Acceptance
It never ceases to amaze me what circumstances God can--and does--use to speak to His children. For instance, He spoke to me the other morning through my impatience with another's lack of willingness to try to understand and accept yet another. Confused? Allow me to explain... A dear friend has an ongoing internal struggle with what he… Continue reading Serenity Through Acceptance

Recently I was laid up with an unexpected illness, accompanied by a level of pain I can't ever remember experiencing. On the third day I woke feeling relieved of the pain. Until I tried to ride my bike and walk, both of which were not possible, as it brought the pain back full force. However,… Continue reading Thankful Thursday -The Smallest Hope

Simple yet breathtaking. Serene yet powerful. I enjoy looking for what God is teaching me through this magnificent beauty He provides. These trees growing… Continue reading Thankful Thursday – Nature’s Beauty
Thankful Thursday – My Passions
I feel so blessed that my passions in life can also honor God. While I'm well aware that I'm not even close to perfect and I clearly make mistakes, my passion to be the best wife, mother, and grandmother I can possibly be inspires me to get my hope, strength, and guidance from God. It gives… Continue reading Thankful Thursday – My Passions
Thankful Thursday
So I've decided to make Thursday's one of my two posts each week, each one highlighting something I'm especially grateful for. "Thankful Thursday" may sound cheesy--or even like a cliché ...but being thankful is anything but cheesy or cliché. Being thankful promotes optimism and joy and reduces stress and keeps us connected with God. It's a… Continue reading Thankful Thursday
