Thankful Thursdays ~ This Is An Easy One!
This was one of those Thankful Thursday that was so easy to write. Today the Eldest Son of Thunder turns fourteen. Now that part isn’t so easy. It is not because of his age so much, but rather that we are in the throes of puberty here at the Winters Villa. White means black, up means down, no stands for negotiations, and well, you get the point. It is really crazier than normal around here. Welcome to our life. Yippie ! ! The SON’S birthday reminds Winters and I of a time when we lived in Alaska and life seemed...

Get inspired and live your dreams! Ask yourself today “What is one thing that is holding me back from fulfilling my purpose” Then ask the Lord to help you tackle just that one thing. Surrender that one thing to God this week! Every time you think of that problem, issue or thorn in the flesh surrender it again to God! If you are thinking to yourself that there are several big things holding down, then ask the Lord to help you move past those stumbling blocks too! It is time, dear friend to move past them, through them or over...

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 fill your cart and get ready to...

When life gets hecktic which it always does I am often reminded that there is nothing more wonderful than to fly though the air on a swing. Well, at least I think it is pretty wonderful. As a child we had a huge rope swing in our backyard, and I mean it felt like you could fly all the way to heaven. The breeze in your face, the wind in your hair and pure freedom in the sky – like a bird! My brother and I would swing for hours. I think he pushed me more than he actually got to enjoy the ride himself. Sometimes we have to do that in...

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 checked for strep early Monday but...

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 life is not easy. Losing my...
read moreThankful Thursday ~ Fullfill Your Call!
Fulfill your call and refuse to give in and refuse to not move! It is as simple as that or is it? On this Thankful Thursday some of you may be saying to yourself - “I know what God wants me to do but I am just not doing it.” Others may be saying “I have no clue what I am supposed to be doing with my life.” And others may know what to do, but are afraid to move forward out of fear of failure. Life has a way of killing the dream we dream. The reasons why we do not do what we are called to do goes on and on and on...

Ever feel like you want a “do over”? Well, or let’s just say, a good old rewind! I feel that way sometimes. But that just really isn’t life, is it? We can’t just stop the clock and start over. We can’t take back the words we said or the words we did not say. We can’t get back the missed opportunity to hug our children, say I love you or share the gospel with a stranger on a plane. That moment is gone… We can spend a lot of time torturing ourselves trying to get something back we once had...
read moreThankful Thursdays ~ A Smile On My Face
On this Thankful Thursday I am reflecting on all the times Winters and I are cooking it up in the kitchen, which makes me so grateful I married a man who can cook. I also love that we have wonderful cooking utensils to create great meals. Winters would say it is a must for any wanna be chef to have the best knives, blenders, and other gizmos. I have a few special cooking utensils that, when I pull them out of a draw, they always put a smile on my face. Not because they are so spectacular, but that they hold so many memories. Winters has...
