I love this Thankful Thusday so I thought I would share it again!  I hope you love it too! What if on this Thankful Thursday … You lose your keys … You lose your dog … You can’t find your purse and you’re late to a meeting … You get home with all the hamburgers and no fries … Or you’re at the checkout at some grocery store and realize  you forgot the eggs in the deepest darkest part of the store. So you have to haul all the way back to get them.  Worse yet, you...

Thankful Thursdays ~ Some Thursday’s Are Easier Than Others

Each week I rarely come to the computer without an idea and a message I feel God wants me to share… However, this Thankful Thursday it was a bit different for me.  My heart and my mind seemed to spin with ideas but I was devoid of a confirmation, that was until I was returning an email to the middle Son of Thunders music teacher early this morning.  You see, it has been a long, long seven days for the middle Son, since he has been fighting a virus starting late in the evening on Friday.  He was...

At the Winters Villa, we call it “hitting your wall”. You may call it something else at your house, but we call “It” that.  The thing you feel when you know you can’t take one more step, one more move, one more phone call not returned, one more whatever.  It is when you’re flat-out “spent”. You have nothing left to give yourself – or anyone else for that matter. To be honest friends, I have felt that more than once in the last several years.  Starting over a...

Thankful Thursdays ~ Remember You Are A Light

On this Thankful Thursday I am reminded as I read the newspaper that we live in difficult times.  It does not take long to see that many innocent people are impacted by the Godless and evil acts of others. For some today, it maybe difficult to find anything to be thankful for, especially if your life has been impacted by the evil or cruel acts of others. However, on this Thankful Thursday, I think that we can be thankful that God gave us the power to impact a world for Him. God’s love, grace and forgiveness...

Repost: Thankful Thursday ~ Dress Yourself Happy

Today I want to share with you one of my all time favorite posts.  Since starting Thankful Thursdays, my readership has grown and many may have missed this post.  I love this one! But I am also re-posting this because yesterday I heard the tragic news that one of my dearest friends, one of my “Sacred Few,” had died suddenly in the hospital.  Jan Marie and I were the same age and had been life-long friends since we first met in Alaska. We never had a cross word and all I remember was what a...
