FEATURED POST

If you do not know this about me, I work with my family in a company my son created. It is a blessing from the Lord that we are able to work together to build something that allows us to live in America, travel often, see our adult kids, and be a part of our granddaughter's life. We do have separate roles and pieces and parts each of us are responsible for. Our son is the business guy who sells the candy. My husband is over production. I focus on payroll, HR, and a little acc

“What is the Lord teaching you right now?” It's a question that I love asking those who mean a lot to me. It is a way I can learn how to pray for them. It takes the conversation to a deeper heart level. It shows me a glimpse of what God is doing in their lives. And it always encourages my own faith. It’s a vulnerable, intimate question, but we were created to be vulnerable, intimate beings…as much as self-preservation tries to prevent that level of closeness with the bo

I won’t tell you how old I am, but I am old enough to have a grandbaby, a few wrinkles, and get a little nervous when I sneeze. If you know, you know. So when I see a well-done advertisement that contains a dramatic before and after picture of a lady who used a little bit of cream under $20 and looks 15 years younger, I click on it. Judge me if you need to make yourself feel better. The aforementioned link will take me to a page warning me I’m leaving the addictive platfor

Currently, I am in the beautiful season of life where I have drivers living in my home who don’t mind going to the store for me. Some people love to shop; I am not some of those people. I would rather do just about anything than go to ANY store ending in “mart”. So, I will get a text message from time to time that says, “Hey Mom, I am headed to the store, need anything?” Isn’t that so kind of them!?! And because I try to utilize all the blessings the Lord sends my way, I imme

From a quick google search, hope is defined as, “an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes.” Our society often views hope as crossing fingers, coins tossed into wells, making wishes, or the happen chance of irony. As believers in Jesus, hope can be understood by knowing and believing in the character of God. Time and time again, we see promises of hope in His Word. Isaiah 40:31 ~ But those who hope in the LORD will renew thei

Look at those kids…just looking down those trusses… They didn’t know… They didn’t know the importance of the foundation they would need… They were just enjoying life…living each day to eat, drink, and be merry… Because they didn’t know where those trusses would lead them… Through meadows so beautiful it would take their breath away… Over waters so rough they felt like they would be tossed off those tracks… They would expand the line to the other side of the world… And add a f

I went on a walk today. Currently, the weather is perfect with the temperature being 72°, and the sun shining warm on my shoulders accompanied with a cool breeze to keep everything just right. Everywhere I look there are azaleas blooming and the newness green of spring is on the tips of every tree. It’s breathtaking really. It's funny how sometimes our moods don't match the weather. Nevertheless, the Lord has given us this beautiful creation so that we can open our eyes and o
