Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way. (Native American Proverb) Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. What a great time to think about all the reasons we have to be thankful!

My post is a little late. Monday instead of Sunday, but we had a big day at our house yesterday with our sons and their families here to enjoy the beautiful day of Easter. They came to church too. One family drove three hours and were only about five minutes late for services. Now that’s being a special gift to …

Those things don’t have to be something remarkable. Often the things mentioned are what might be called everyday blessings remembered by a grateful heart. Someone might mention their grandchildren.

Life is a question and how we live it is our answer. (Gary Keller) Our preacher this morning raised the question of what is the best life? He was preaching from the first chapter of Ephesians and talking about how we have the gift of God’s love to give us that best life. But his question sent me off on …
Why are birthday’s good for you? Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest! (Larry Lorenzoni) I’m guessing in the picture above where I’m sitting in the lap of my very fashionably dressed big sister while my cousin and my other sister posed for the camera that I had not yet had my first birthday. But I …
Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time. Jean Paul It’s Darrell’s birthday. He’s gathered quite a few of those feathers in that broad wing of time.
