When you look at your kids, do you notice how different they are? Or do you watch the many things they may have in common? Well, if you are proud to wear the title “Mom” then the ONE thing that you can say about all your children that they share in common, “My children can make me smile!” Pay attention…

A FREE Gift…
Yes, I know. Especially during this hectic shopping season, when we hear or see the word FREE, we tend to look because we are interested or at least curious? And yes, skeptical. Well, I just couldn’t miss this opportunity to write about a FREE gift that I personally know about. In a story I wrote called “The Ornament” about a…
Shopping Carts helping the Hurricane…
I received a text from a friend and we have lots in common because we both have boys with autism. So, yes we can relate on so many topics! He shared his story of how his son worked hard during the hurricane doing the job that most would snub their noses to- collecting shopping carts and making them available for the…
Just some apples….
I once heard this story and it is very powerful, but in my quiet time, Jesus shared a way I could expand it to share about Him more deeply so here it goes: A businessman was running with his co-worker through the airport on this Friday afternoon determined not to miss his trip back home after a long week away. He knew…
“Prop us up, Lord”…
I came across this story and it seemed so appropriate for the times we live in today. There was once an old deacon in a Southern Baptist church who always prayed, “Lord, prop us on our leanin’ side.” Curiosity got the best of the gossiping ladies club, so one widow woman asked the deacon one day, “I am sure you…
Abusive Thoughts…
One day as I was recently driving, which I do lots with my career, I was thinking about a biography I am editing with my amazing 10th grade English teacher. Sometimes, I cry as I read chapter after chapter of this powerful story of abuse that my mother endured, but was spared. I hope you can read her story one…
Joy + Joy =
Joy + Joy = Joy Overflowing….seems like a simple formula right? When we have joy in our lives and we know what we are doing is pleasing to Christ, thus giving Him joy, then our joy overflows into other lives. When we keep our eyes focused on Christ despite all the distractions around us and discover our purpose for our life,…
Bottle of Tears…
I walked in the room and saw different shapes and sizes and asked, “What are these bottles filled with?” The warm inviting voice replied, “These bottles are filled with tears. I collect tears -some joyful, but most sorrowful and plan to use these for my good.” In those moments, I feel a touch on my skin as many flashbacks enter…
God sees you as…
Do you wonder how God sees you? Well, God sees you as you will be. He has a purpose for each of our lives; however, many people never discover their purpose or they are too afraid to pursue it. We get caught up in so much that this world has to offer us- all tricks by Satan to prevent us…
Do dogs have a bad day?
We recently got a new puppy and boy is it alot of work. It is just like having a baby because they get into everything they can due to their curiosity and vibrant spirit. They like to sleep much during the day and become wide awake all night. But, just like a baby, they are so adorable and you find…
