Thankful Thursdays

Posted on December 14, 2017 by Connie Perez

Here’s to the graduates. And to He who makes it all possible. Lauren’s graduate school ceremony is tonight; Danny receives his bachelor’s degree tomorrow night. Watching them both bravely thrive through college has been quite the parental journey, I can tell you that. We are grateful that God granted us the means to put them…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on December 7, 2017December 7, 2017 by Connie Perez

For Friends. The old ones we’ve had in our lives forever, and the new ones we’ve managed to make old ones out of. The ones who stick through thick and thin and are always present, and the ones whose presence is felt through the distance. And let’s not forget those who God reconnects us with,…

For Christmas Cards. This is the time of year I remind you to take a break from social media and write out…and touch someone. The rise of social media has us posting, liking, tweeting, e-mailing, and/or texting our sentiments, in a flash. Convenient, sure, but lacks personal touch. I think the digital Christmas card is…

Thanksgiving Thankful Thursday

Posted on November 23, 2017 by Connie Perez

That His love will always find us. Life is a hellova coaster ride, as we know, where we’re strapped in alongside the good, the bad, and the ugly. And I must say, among all of the emotions I personally experience during life’s ups and downs and crazy turnarounds, I’ve learned that the one constant is love. Love…

Throwback Thankful Thursday

Posted on November 16, 2017 by Connie Perez

For great parents. My siblings and I were blessed with parents who loved us and guided us. Mom and Dad always put us first and sacrificed so much for us. They taught us, among many things, about respect, responsibility, faith, and loyalty. And through example, they gave us a roadmap to this highway called Life….

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on November 9, 2017November 9, 2017 by Connie Perez

For November days in the 305. It’s crowded here, traffic’s a bear, people are weird, but that’s the case in most big cities. However, you can’t beat the weather in Florida, especially during this time of year. And for that, I’m thankful. Hasta next Thursday’s post…si Dios quiere. What are you thankful for today? “I…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on November 2, 2017 by Connie Perez

For God’s saving grace. This unconditional gift sustains us, fills all our empty spaces, and gives us peace. And peace is the perfect posture I want for my soul. “But by the grace of God I am what I am.” [1 Corinthians 15:10]  No joke. Until next Thursday’s post, friends…si Dios quiere. What are you…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on October 26, 2017 by Connie Perez

Thanks for the Eulogy, Mom!  Mom’s eulogy was the result of an “epishower.” The epiphany came to me while I showered as I got ready for the services last Saturday. Days prior to her passing, whenever I thought about what to say at Mom’s Mass, I would end up dismissing the idea because I thought, “Nah, I’m…

That “I can do all things through Christ who strenghens me.” [Philippians 4:13]. Especially now. That, and the group hugs at home, and I’m good to go. What are you thankful for today? “My precious child, I love you and will never leave you. Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on October 12, 2017October 12, 2017 by Connie Perez

For Thumper…and Jose Martí. A rabbit and a poet whose words are golden. “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.” Maybe that scene from Bambi oughta be looping online 24/7.  And Martí’s La Rosa Blanca? Well, someone please embed this poem in my mind permanently. Most of us put our thoughts…
