“Love is Spelled T-I-M-E!”
One of the things I love about being a mother is to have my children or grandchildren call me just to say, “I was reading this story (or scripture or poem…) and I thought of you.” This morning, a daughter called to share a story. She gave me the name of the story and the [...]
Peace, Sweet Peace
“Sometimes, it is nice to just be us.” I woke up early this morning (my husband was already awake). I lay in my bed, trying to decide if I would wake up or go back to sleep, and I thought about how nice it is that all of us are home. An overwhelming calm and [...]
Importance
Sometimes, we can clearly define what is important to us. The list can vary from how we feel about ketchup on French fries to how we want to be treated when we die. Somehow, we rate what we find to be important by degrees–”you are the most important person in my life”…”I take time daily [...]
Time
I paused this morning as I walked past a tall bookcase that stands on the north wall of our bedroom. As I glanced at the titles laying sideways on the shelf, I thought to myself, Look at all these books. I should read one of them. Well, maybe I should, but I am not going to [...]
Mothers and Days
I am so thrilled that this weekend is Mother’s Day. There will be messages in church about mothers.

Intrigues
I am amazed how words flow freely from my mind to my fingertips when I am writing in a creative mood. It can be early in the morning or late at night when I feel those creative juices running. How I am creative can come in a number of ways: words, colors, or textures are [...]
“Just Think of the Possibilities”
It’s that time of year. December is coming to a close tomorrow night. Many of us remark about how time has passed so quickly. I am amazed that years did not pass so quickly when I was a child. Now, I can look at all the time that has gone by or I can look [...]
How Did You Spell Joy this Christmas?
We had a perfect Christmas. On Christmas Eve, we had our family and friends, who really are family, at our home. It was wonderful to be surrounded by peace, love, and the comfort of knowing each other well. Christmas day we had some of our children and grandchildren over and spent a lovely day making gingerbread [...]
The Best Christmas Ever
Driving home from Publix (our local grocery store) the other day, I was listening to a Christmas song by Hilary Weeks about making room in our hearts for the Savior. I was sorting through various emotions and to-do lists in preparation for our upcoming celebrations, and I must admit that, though I have tried to make [...]
