A Good Weekend

Don't you just love good weekends? This past weekend was one of those weekends which were great! And on top of that we got to eat special each day!

Friday night we had a choir dinner and practice at church. We enjoyed a fantastic meal together and then attempted to go over Easter music afterward!

Saturday we had a soccer game for the youngest son - 6 yrs. and it was lots of fun to watch. We also had family in from out of town which is always a treat and all the men enjoyed fishing that afternoon. Well...with all of the fish that was caught, what else is there to do but have a fish fry??!! That is what we did Saturday evening.

Sunday we enjoyed a lunch again with all of the family before they left. Of course I
had to walk all three days just to keep from feeling like a whale!


Today I'm working on settling into the regular schedule for the week. Have to do some shopping, cleaning and errands.

I have been so inspired by the posts I read over at Rose of Sharon and how Sharon puts a Bible verse at the end of each of her posts. So, I'm using her great idea to hopefully share some joy with you at the end of my posts. I will start with one of my favorite verses Psalms 37:5

"Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass."

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
