I mentioned in an earlier post that I am participating in the Mom’s Toolbox Read the Bible in 90 Days Challenge. I can’t believe that the first day is just two days away on the 3rd! My sweet hubby bought me the Bible that goes along with the challenge for Christmas, so I am ready […]

Gifts by the door
Letter carriers and package delivery folks are quick and in a hurry these days before Christmas. This year, I decided I would keep their treats right by the door. So far I’ve been able to catch all but one UPS person. Just a few gifts by the door, ready to bless. —Have a holly, jolly […]

A habit you will not regret.
This Christmas the crew loaded up the twelve-passenger van on Christmas day and headed to Nashville. In years past, we have always gone the day after Christmas. My brother usually spent the day with my parents on Christmas Day and then we would arrive shortly after. This Christmas we did things a little differently. Shortly […]
Talents
Me? I’d be knock-kneed. No. I wouldn’t be able to stand up there in front of them all. Never would I have even considered memorizing lines. My voice magnified. But she does. And loves it. A bit nervous tonight but smiling. I think I juggle things. This one. She handled a main part at church […]

Meal Plan: Simple Suppers
So I surveyed the December calendar. May I just say It’s a Wonderful Life? The next two weeks are jammed packed with the ‘hurry up we need to be there in half an hour’ days and evenings. Hardly a bit of white remains in each calendar square. So, for this meal plan I am keeping […]

One a Day: Slow the Season Down
Planning and Goal Setting Part 2 “We should make plans – counting on God to direct us.” Proverbs 16:9 What if…in this season of thanksgiving…What if we thought about one person per day.
