Today was another rather cold spring day. I had enough energy to go to Kroger for a few groceries. But the rest of the day was rather low-energy for me. I read a news letter from a friend in a country in Asia. Their small family is in quarantine, too. The letter mentioned that, for… Read More Day 163- Thankful for job, food, and encouragement
Hebrews 12:2 “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” I don’t know about you, but I sure needed to read this verse right… Read More Day 161- Thankful for clear focus on Jesus
So there I was in the kitchen, cooking a pancake on the top of the stove, when the text came through. I walked the 3 feet to my phone and checked the text. It required a response. I sat down to take care of it (in hindsight, not a good idea). As I carried on… Read More Day 118 – Thankful for my Knight in Shining Armor and…
Most of you know that yesterday was Valentines Day. I suppose everybody who recognizes it has a different way of celebrating it.

I’m thanking God that I survived another freezing cold… Read More Day 104 – Thankful God brought me through another January
In June 2018 God blessed me with a new car. I really liked the old car; it fit like a glove, and I was comfortable with it. I wrote about that Here! The tire maintenance light came on longer ago than I’d like to admit, and I put off taking the car in to the… Read More Day 98 – Thankful for new tires and second chances!

So, this looking for something to be thankful for in January has me reaching a little farther, beyond my normal, beyond my negative feelings about coldness,… Read More Day 96 – Thankful for wind chimes and for the Spirit wind ringing out His love
On New Year’s Eve morning I dropped off my two teens at the theater to watch Frozen 2 with a couple of friends. When I got home, I set an alarm so I would go pick them up at the right time. When the alarm went off, I put on my coat, picked up my… Read More Day 79 – Thankful for the heroes in my life
If you read my post on Tuesday, you know that our region got enough snow for another snow day. Actually, the schools in our region had two snow days this week! Anyway, I love the snow! It is so beautiful, and each flake is an amazing work of art! But unfortunately, I’m not a fan… Read More Day 69 – Thankful for sunshine on a cold day and God’s love in hard times (photos)
