Thankful Thursdays~ There Are No Words, But Then Again Maybe There Are~

Posted by on Sep 8, 2011 in Inspiration, Thankful Thursdays | 0 comments

On this Thankful Thursday as we approach the tenth anniversary of 9/11, there are still no words to really describe the sorrow we all feel for our country and the lives lost that day.  The innocence we lost as a nation and as individuals.  As Winters said on his post, how do you describe and explain such a tragedy to children. Frankly, I must bee honest.  I shielded mine.  I shielded them from the pain and hurt I knew they would feel if they watched the videos and heard the recounted tails of horror.  But...

Power Prayer Girls ~ Thanksful Thursday ~ Please Don’t Hug Me

Posted by on Aug 25, 2011 in Thankful Thursdays | 6 comments

Have you ever felt that if someone hugged you, you just might fall apart? Or, if you really got still enough, you might really be able to feel yourself  feel? Sometimes busyness keeps us so busy we don’t get in touch with our feelings and our life. For the last several weeks Winters and I have been working like mad men putting the final touches on the websites and waiting on shipments of books to arrive.  We have written flyers to promote the new books and created new bookmarks as well.  I have been...

Songs move me.  The talk of true love moves me too… I know I have said that a million times. But they do.  And yesterday, on Facebook I posted a song by JJ Heller that always moves me.  It is appropriately entitled “What does love really mean”.  The singers sweet voice and the powerful words always touches me so deeply.  When I need a pick me up and a quick reminder of  the true love I go to YouTube, type in one of two songs this being one of them and I am inspired all over...

Power Prayer Girls ~Thankful Thursday ~ Celebrate Your Healing!

Posted by on Jun 16, 2011 in Inspiration, Thankful Thursdays | 3 comments

Celebrate your healing no matter how big or how small! In The Power Prayer Girls Handbook, I write about praying not only for others, but also for yourself.  I also mention that when God heals we need to give thanks and glory to God for our healing. God cares about your every need. Pray for your health.  Pray for your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.  We need to pray specifically for our bodies.  Pray for your mind.  Pray for whatever you need to pray about, but by all means pray! It is so...

Skipping Through The Trials Of Life!

In Oklahoma, we live at the end of a long wooded, windy, gravel road.  It is peaceful, serene and simply picturesque.  At the end of the road sits John’s parents’ home.  We reside in the Cottage, as we like to refer to it, about 200 yards from them.  The view is spectacular and I have always said that if you can’t find peace here you simply can’t find it anywhere. I have thought of myself as a city girl.  However, I was raised on a farm for the first 9 years of my life, with horses,...
