Brillo Pad

So, I just finished cleaning my shower. I truly hate doing it, I mean I hate it, just about as much as Moo hates cleaning his room and hanging his clothes up. I looked at the shower floor and realized I needed some heavy duty help in cleaning it, but what did I have? I…

Gratitude in All Things

I was texting a friend this morning and at the end of the text, I wrote, "I am learning to be grateful in all things." And it hit me: this is yet another lesson that God has been trying to teach me. Instead of trying to control the outcome of my environment and then having…

The Small Things

I really struggled to get out of bed this morning. I mean, really struggled. I laid in bed and argued with myself - that's how bad I didn't want to get up. But I pushed myself and Moo to get up and get out the door. And the minute I walked outside, I immediately smiled.…

Regrouping

Moo and I were very hype this morning. We just knew that since football practice had started and we were still walking, that he would have lost a gazillion pounds and all would be well in the world. We both came inside and did a weigh in. Usually in the past, we would be like…

They’re Alive!!

I had an experience that I forgot to share!! About a week ago, I am walking around the outside of my house, looking at my flowerbeds and lamenting that I had not gotten to do all the things I normally do in them. I said a prayer that next year I will be able to…

The Hand Of God

While I was ironing the boys clothes this morning, in the quiet of the day, I started thinking back over my life. And I reflected upon one constant - the Hand of God has been interwoven into the fabric of my life. I have often heard older people say, "If I die today, it will…

God and the Roller Coaster

I went walking sans Moo this morning, who decided last night that a night with grandma was more enticing than staying home. Which was fine with me. I looked forward to some alone time during my walk. So I am walking and thinking and I think that since next year will be me and Paul's…

A Lovely Day

Today was handweight day, so I laid in bed a little while longer, dreading feeling I had got in a fight and lost. But I got up, got Moo up and we set out to "do the damn thang" lol. After all, We had some breading to burn off (Watermelon Festival - fried crabs- don't…

One Day at a Time

I receive emails from Joyce Meyer on a regular basis. A couple of days ago, I received one that contained one of her teachings on Power Thoughts. So I am listening and making notes and she says something that is profound to me, even though I know I have heard it a gazillion times in…

The Little Things….

I did my usual this morning. I woke up, but laid in bed for a few minutes. I do this mind game thing where I try to guess what time of morning it is by turning over and looking through the blinds in my room. I know, it would be easier to just look at…
