Category: Thankful Thursdays

We became parents for the second time 27 years ago today. On this Thankful Thursday, Ray and I could not be more grateful. Today’s post is dedicated to Danny. Happy Birthday, Danny! We are so proud of the man you have become. I have always said that when they are little, kids are a lot…

It’s been said that there are no weeds and no worthless men, there are only bad farmers. Let’s be good farmers, people! For every time the Lord guides me to plant a good seed, and every time He gives me the strength to be resilient like a weed, I am so grateful. What are you…

Good day, and happy Thankful Thursday! Feel like doing something really good today? Here’s your chance. The annual St. Jude Walk/Run Miami is on September 17 and our team, RxfortheSoul, will participate again. Your generosity makes a huge difference in the lives of these kids and their families. Won’t you please join our efforts in…

I was in the middle of daydreaming about that ginormous Mega jackpot (so many thoughts), when I was quickly reeled back to reality by pain in my knee, and in my neck, and in my…well, everywhere. Followed by a status text letting us know that our good friend Del was back in ICU. Forget lotto,…

Good morning, guys! Never in the history of the world has patience played such an important role in our lives. Wow! It is a virtue, and skill, that the world is sorely lacking at the moment and, I’m sorry to say, the absence of it is going to cut our lives short. We want this and…

Nothing like doing what one enjoys. One of those things for me, as many of you know, is taking pictures. I’m always the one behind the lens but, this time, I was caught in the act. Guys, get yourselves a digital photo frame, load it up, and play it throughout the day. You’ll love those…

“Things could be worse” is not just another cliché. If you ask me, 97% of the time (and that’s my stat), it is true, things could be worse. We should be conscious of that and leave the real worry and freaking out for the three percent (again, my stat) that, well, is indeed worse. This…

A short and sweet Rx this Thankful Thursday to remind us to combat today’s forces. Because the world’s patterns are leading us to a broken life, we must stay true to what’s good and decent. Let’s be transformed, not conformed. For every time God helps me to resist those wicked forces, I am thankful. What…
