I am feeling nostalgic this morning. Three years ago, today, our family was on vacation. Wonderful, right? Oh, it was. However, it became our LAST vacation as a family of four. So, maybe, a better descriptor of today is “bittersweet”. I was spending a little time this morning on my back porch, just be-ing. You, know “being still”, as we […]
Have you ever been driving in a deep, thick fog rendering yourself unsure which way to turn? What about driving in severe rain, ice, or snow storms? Ever driven in storms so severe, you’re unsure what’s immediately ahead, so you just pull over until it subsides. Although those questions have answers in the literal sense, what about the figural? Have […]
“Ya’ get chewed out?” “Pretty much.” This was my response to Tim’s question as I was walking back to my seat in the Atlanta airport after returning from the ticket desk. Unbeknownst to me, the lady behind the counter had responded to the same question numerous times with the same memorized answer. She answered so quickly; it felt like she […]
For the record, it’s hot in New Orleans in June. I mean, “hoTTT with capital Ts”!!!! As a matter of fact, it’s hot in New Orleans ALL year long, well at least eight months out of the year, if you use my internal thermometer! As a big girl, I DO NOT like hot weather; however, I have lived in the […]
Daddies and Daughters. There is no other bond like it! A precious relationship, indeed. Now, the bond between a mother and a daughter is equally as rich. Highlighting the bonds between fathers, mothers, and daughters is not to discount the bonds shared between a son and his parents, but I wouldn’t know about sons. I do know familial bonds are […]
It’s been four weeks since the last blog. I couldn’t believe it when I looked at my calendar! Since the last blog on May 13, 2019, I’ve spent time with family and friends, attended a high school graduation of an amazing young woman, played a little tennis, spoke at a Spirit-filled women’s event at the RB4 Event Center with THE […]
Mother’s Day. A day to remember and celebrate our mothers. I had the privilege of traveling alone with my firstborn on Mother’s Day weekend in 2016. Thank you, God, for giving me THAT gift! And, to think, I almost didn’t go! How thankful I am at Your Spirit’s guidance to go with Savannah on that weekend getaway. I hold those […]
Last Sunday morning, I had the privilege of speaking to the leadership of thirteen states at the Farm Bureau Southern Regional Presidents and Administrators Conference in Baton Rouge, LA. I was thrilled and honored to be asked to lead a devotion on Sunday morning. I spoke about encouragement and was hopeful I could encourage these ladies and gentlemen in their […]
Saturday was Laundry Day! A glorious day to be celebrated by all who lives at our address! The day we had been waiting to arrive for almost two weeks! Woohoo! Laundry Day! I can say, in all my 51 years, I have NEVER been so excited to “get” to do laundry! I have “done” many a load over the years […]
Butterflies. Spring has sprung here in southern Louisiana. With the burst of new growth from the winter comes … BUTTERFLIES! I can’t really explain the fact, nor do I want to try, that butterflies have become extra-sentimental for me the last couple of years. You see, for some reason unbeknownst to me, a yellow butterfly ALWAYS makes me think of […]
