Giving Some Grace – Making Time For Me

Thankful for the Struggle

I don’t know about you. But, without my struggle I wouldn’t be half as happy as I am today.

“The friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.” Google Do you find yourself to be hospitable? Do you invite people over to spend time at your house without hesitation? Do you hold BBQs, parties and holidays in your home? I do!! I love having people over to pr house. Our houseContinue reading “Hospitality”

Shine

Comparison is the thief of joy! Shine like the beautiful, individual soul that you are. There is more than enough room for the moon, sun, planets and stars. Don’t let anyone put that light inside of you out. Happy Friday

Grace

A gentle reminder to be gracious in your speech. To think about what you are saying and how, especially around young ears. Teaching them about how what you say and to whom matters. That being our kindness and tolerance should be noticed in our words. Happy Thursday Friends. May you find your words to beContinue reading “Grace”

You Control You

I have felt like this for a very long time. My husband and I have conversations about this regularly. When you’re focused on blaming something or someone for your problems, you’re missing out on what’s right in front of you. You can’t control all the things happening around you. Often you don’t have any sayContinue reading “You Control You”

Progress

When something unexpected comes out of nowhere and you don’t FREAK OUT… that’s progress! I don’t do well with change. Specifically if that change deals directly with my time, my money or my children. It’s OK to not like it when things change. Necessary though to think, is there anything that I can do? IsContinue reading “Progress”

Stewards

Just a thought for today. Are you stewardly with all that you’ve been given? Or do you try to control everything you’ve been given? Until this morning I didn’t know that trying to control was the opposite of being stewardly. I’ll work harder to be the latter.

CHANGE

My bible study this morning questioned us about change. How do you feel about change? You, yes, I’m asking. How do you feel about it? Do you welcome it, embrace it, look forward to it? Do you ignore it, resist it, run the other way? When I’m the one initiating the change, I can usuallyContinue reading “CHANGE”

After Death

Yesterday I went to the funeral of my husband’s aunt. I’m pretty fortunate that at 38 I haven’t been to what I would say is a lot of funerals. The “closest” relatives I’ve had pass are great grandparents. I’ve never been involved in funeral arrangements, decisions about the body/burial, etc. Most of the funerals I’veContinue reading “After Death”

I’m a Sinner Too!!

For those of you who don’t know I am a member of the United Methodist Church. For the most part, I have been a very proud member for 38 years. This includes years where I attended other types of congregations, took religion classes and did my part to learn more about other religions. I foundContinue reading “I’m a Sinner Too!!”
