YES, this is the first post since April, 2019! I'm really not sure what the Lord has in mind, but when I wrote this post for myself personally, I did feel as if the Lord was prompting me to share it here with all of you, and when I read it to Brian, he confirmed

What Does Getting a Haircut, Running an Errand and Visiting a Friend All Have in Common?
Okay so what exactly does getting a haircut, running an errand and visiting a friend all have in common? They are all things, through the strength of the Lord, which I was able to enjoy last Wednesday! Oh, and I forgot to add in there a lunch truck date! They are also ALL simple joys and
Thanksgiving Is Over, But Not Giving Thanks!
I hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving Day celebrating and giving thanks to the Lord surrounded by friends and family. Brian and I enjoyed hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our home this year. We had the joy of having with us our son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, Brian's Mom and Brian's Grandfather, who will turn 103 years old in December! Emma and her
A Memory and A Milestone!
This is a two-part post! First, I'd like to share a little bit about our Thanksgiving Day. This was our first time (Brian and myself!) hosting Thanksgiving dinner in many, many, MANY years. It was a WONDERFUL day of food, fun and family! The week before the big day, I enjoyed making the menu,

Or should I ask
HOPE for 2016
“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.” Jeremiah 17:7 I have struggled tremendously with this post. I had it written out and ready to go, BUT I had no peace about it. So I prayed again, rewrote some of it, tweaked it, BUT still no peace. So
Gifts From God and Gifts From Others!
Well this is only a week off from Thanksgiving!! I really wanted to post this last week on the day before Thanksgiving, but that was the day that the website went live, and I felt like I needed to write about the site and how it all came about! And, anyway, we should give thanks EVERY day,
