I’ve loved storms and clouds since childhood. I think my curiosity and sense of adventure kicked in when storms came. Perhaps I still have some of that, but in the last twenty years or more they have become even more special to me. During that time, I did some studies on the Bible about the… Read More Day 222- Thankful for clouds (photos)
A few of days ago thunder storms were predicted for our area. The morning storms did not materialize, and all was still hot and dry for the next few hours, even after newer predictions for severe thunderstorms were made available. I stood under the overhang just outside the back door as the thunder got closer… Read More Day 207- (Photos & video) Thankful for protection from and blessings of the storm
A few days ago I went with my family to a large lake to go “fishing”. We didn’t catch any fish, but I caught some beautiful memories via photography. Aren’t the blue sky and clouds beautiful, both in reality and in the reflection? The interesting thing about these reflections is that there can be a… Read More Day 191- Thankful for Beautiful Reflections (photos & video)
Hi! I hope you are all well! What have you all been doing to keep busy these days? I thought I’d give just a quick update from my end in case you were wondering. Friday, Apr. 17, mix-up on my daughter’s meds; wrong quantity. Called doctor’s office and left a message. Saturday, the 18th, plowed… Read More Day 171- (Update with photos) Thankful even when health is challenged
The adventure of the last few days was over Saturday morning as my husband and I returned the rental car safe and sound to its owners. The parking lot was crowded with lots more cars than at other times when we’ve returned a rental. The worker was very friendly! Before checking the mileage, she visibly… Read More Day 147- Thankful that COVID-19 cannot separate us from God’s love (photos)
Yesterday afternoon I started feeling kind of blue. When I came home and went to unlock the door, I had a thought flash through my mind, like, “another winter, another spring”, and I felt no joy like I normally would. This morning I had a moment where I felt like impending doom was hanging over… Read More Day 132 – Thankful for crocuses (photos)
Wednesday morning we woke to a winter wonderland! My daughter and I had planned the night before to get up at a good hour in order to be at the pharmacy when it opened. When she saw the snow, she needed a little extra motivation, so I drove through Bread Co and got her a… Read More Day 126 – Thankful for several things throughout the day (photos)
Sunday morning was definitely a little harder to get up. My granddaughter got overtired yesterday and had trouble getting to sleep when bedtime came around. But, when I told her that we were going to be late for Sunday school, she immediately got her breakfast ready to go. I was glad to see that it… Read More Day 125 – Thankful for time spent in community, for beautiful days and pain relievers
Sunday evening I took my youngest daughter to youth group. Instead of going home, I went to my older son’s house. He and his wife just got a new puppy. She is so cute! She is part husky and part Pomeranian. I couldn’t believe how soft her fur was, almost like a Persian cat! She… Read More Day 101 – Thankful for the new puppy!
I think that in the past, January is the month where I have just trudged through the month. Christmas is over, and spring is at least 2 months away. 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
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)
Today was another snow day here; we started to get some freezing rain and sleet, but it changed back to snow pretty quickly. After a while I decided to go outside and get some photos because the falling snow was not showing up on the photos I tried to take through the windows. So, I… Read More Day 67 – Thankful for a warm coat, boots, and a camera on my phone
This morning my alarm went off at 10:30. a.m. I have it set for 10:30 every Saturday just in case I sleep too late even though I have important things to do. I got up, turned off the alarm, and upon learning that my husband had only been up for 10 minutes and my daughter… Read More Day 18 – Sleeping in
