If...

This really spoke to me today so (of course) I wanted to share it with  you. :)

I apologize

I am so sorry that I  have not been blogging daily like I had planned on doing. The holidays are approaching so quickly and it has been so busy busy. I promise to get blogging daily again at the beginning of the year. Until then I get to blog a few times a week.

I sure hope that you all are doing well. A friend of mine said it best tonight when she said that holiday seasons never fail to spark up that internal conflict between feeling thankful for what you have and feeling sad for what you've lost. It can be such a joyous time and sad time all wrapped up into one.

My hope is that, as Christmas is approaching, you all will find what is true and real about this holiday and that God will help heal any of your hearts that are broken.  Have a good evening.

Happy Holidays??

I do happen to love the holidays but for many, many, people the holiday season is a very difficult time. I work in a psychiatric unit and during this time of year the beds are full.

You Ask?

I have had so many people here lately inbox me and ask me why I like going to church, what exactly is my faith, and how do I know there is a God.  Sometimes there are so many questions that I really don't know how to put it into words. I just really can't explain it because it really is something you have to experience to really understand. Well, I read this poem and it says everything I would ever want to say to someone who asks me why I love and feel like I need Jesus in my life.  I believe that without knowing Him I would have a life without Hope or joy.

"Adversity doesn't kill us, but the impatience with which we bear adversity."

Today I would like to share a "thought of the day" that a coworker of mine, Dennis, puts on our hospital's intranet. I read it and once again thought "Boy how true this is." and when I read things I love I want to share them with you all. This was the thought of the day.......

Even So

I had my blog planned out for this evening and then my friend Dawne shared this awesome message with me today. (Thank you so much Dawne!) So I will post the blog I had planned on writing another night and instead I will share the following with you all.  My hope is that you are inspired by it as much as I was. It is short, simple, beautiful, truthful, and sums up everything my whole being believes. It is titled, Even so......

Give Your Child Memories for the Holidays

You know...I have to say during this holiday season, that what you do with your children will far exceed what you could ever buy for them.
