I make tea in stressful situations. When my girls were home working on difficult projects, I would make them a tea tray. Even now, like clockwork, about 3 p.m. I need a “cupa,” as my British friend used to say. Since the time my girls were little, I have always said there is never anythingContinue reading “One Cup at a Time”

Pain for Today
God has always challenged me to write what I know. So, here is what I know today. . . I am in some pain, physical pain. This is not a statement to evoke pity. It is my daily reality as I have consistent back pain. Perhaps you can relate. There are times, however, when myContinue reading “Pain for Today”
Do You Hear What I Hear?
When I was young, my favorite Christmas movie was The Little Drummer Boy. I also loved a song in the movie called, “Do You Hear What I Hear” by Noel Regney and Gloria Shayne. Perhaps it was the haunting melody of the song that soothed my soul or maybe the concept of the second verse;Continue reading “Do You Hear What I Hear?”

What do you need?
Children tend to be needy. When our girls were too little to speak, we taught them how to use their hands to communicate their needs using sign language. I am convinced this helped discourage temper tantrums and frustration because they were able to answer questions such as, “What do you need?” Sometimes, there were needsContinue reading “What do you need?”
Wisdom Over Worry
Are you worried today? Probably a silly question in the current state in which we are living. May I be honest? I wrestle with worry. Sorry, if you were under the impression that somehow, I just might have it all together. I do not. Most of the time, “it” has me! How is that forContinue reading “Wisdom Over Worry”
Today. . .
God has always challenged me to write what I know. So, here is what I know today. . . I am in pain, physical pain. This is not a statement to evoke pity, but rather prayer. It is my daily reality. There are times, however, when my back issues decide to have more of aContinue reading “Today. . .”
