God


I have a Physician who not only makes house calls... He fills each prescription absolutely free! When I'm physically sick, I call on Him. Down. Discouraged. Heartbroken or just plain broken.
He's always there.


If I go just one day without my daily medication of His Word, I become anxious, alone and unable to deal with every day life.


He collects my tears each morning and in return refills my prescription of His Love and I am able to face the challenges that lie ahead.



His Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Him.



Mornings are best. My alone time with my God.


It makes my day so much better.

Think Lovely Thoughts


So what do you do when the temperature is in the 90's day after day after day and there's no rain in the forecast anytime soon? It's a scorcher. Grass, baked by the sun, has become brittle, brown, and straw-like.


"Pray for rain!"
And while you're waiting on
that prayer to be answered....



Let you're mind wander back in time... like say... six months back.





And grab a cup of hot chocolate. Wait a minute. Scratch that last comment. Better make that an ice cold glass of lemonade. Remember, you're reminiscing. Back to reality!!

Touched By An Angel

Have I ever told you about my Mother's Angel?


In 1990 she suffered a heart attack that left her helpless and hopeless for three months. In the early hours of morning a group of doctors entered her Georgetown, Md. hospital room. One of the doctors was laden in white, radiant, and stood out from the rest... touching her foot... and revealing to her that she was going to be alright, prompting an immediate peace that swept over her.

The next morning her life support was removed. She miraculously began breathing and living life again on her own.
"Who were the doctors that were in my room in the early morning hours?" She asked the nurse who sat watch just outside her private room at the nurses station.
"I'm sorry Alice... but there were no doctors in your room last night."
Chill bumps would consume Mom days, months and years later when she'd talk about the angel that visited her room that night.
And as for me... I was given over three glorious years to say and do the things with Mom that I wouldn't have done had I not been reminded of how very fragile life is.
Love much. Hug often. Savor. Enjoy. Appreciate.
Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

My Mom passed away on July 5, 1994.
I remember her today with tears and laughter.
