It is a state of mind. ” ― Mary Ellen Chase This time I grabbed the name before I started this blog!  I could not wait to jump out of bed and pick a name this morning!  BROOK SANTJER.  I have no clue where Brook is from but I have an email address and from there I will go next!  This is a sweet tall painting with a gentleness about it and I hope Brook will enjoy it.  Tomorrow I have decided it will not be a painting but will be one of my favorite things.. one of my bags!   They carry groceries, library books, hardware...whatever you can

Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.” ― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience Wow...

Christmas Eve at our house this afternoon and early evening. Our adult children and their families come with their little ones...except for our eldest grandson who is 18... but the rest are six and under... 6, 3, 1 and two months.

Family traditions carry on through the years.   Terry and I will

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just i

The more you love and trust Him, the nearer you will feel to Him, and the less you will depend on human power and wisdom. His love and care never tire or change, can never be taken from you, but may become the source of lifelong peace, happiness, and strength. Believe this heartily, and go to God with all your little cares, and hopes, and sins, a

Milne Every day someone somewhere PROMISES us something.  Occasionally it pans out and they keep their promise.  Most of the time we are left high and dry. This is something that will never happen with God.  His saving help is constantly available to us. His personal invitation  (Promise) has no expiration on it. We can turn to Him at any time and feel safe in His Promise.  Can you trust this love?  YES    Do you have to
