Left overs! (via It’s Just Life)

Cheating and reposting a previous blog post----what do you think???  Are leftovers unacceptable to God???  Would love to hear from you!   One of my devotionals today was about leftovers and how the writer said that it would speak a lot about her feelings about her friends if she were to serve them leftovers thrown together for a meal instead of preparing something special for them. Of course the analogy was to how we treat God---do we give him our leftovers or do we give him our … [Read more...]

Running on Empty

Did you ever feel like you were running on empty??? I kind of hit the wall today.  A lot has happened in the last 12 days.   I think we have all been running on adrenaline.   And today we ran out.  Or at least I ran out.  I can not speak for anyone else.   But I know that I did.

Wordless Wednesday

Now maybe it won't seem funny to you.  Maybe it is just me!  Maybe it is just the grief working its way out but when we found this book in a huge stack of books that Dad had it just made me laugh.  I think it was because the rest of the day Aaron went around saying the title....I don't know.....I will put this on my TBR list and let you know! … [Read more...]

Tribute Tuesday—-Emil E “Skip” Chiles, Jr.

As promised today I am going to skip my Tuesday Teapots to honor my father in law.  We will be celebrating his life today and it just seemed appropriate.  The calls and emails and texts have been coming in.   People are expressing to us what he meant to them.  When you think about it---you never can really know how many lives you touch.  Dad touched more than most.  As a teacher he led by example.  As an administrator he made the fair and right decisions.  As a community leader he led … [Read more...]

Resting at Last

                             Aaron, Dad, and Micah---Christmas 2009 My sweet father in law passed away Thursday morning at 5:00 am..  I shared with you all in a post last week   how difficult of a decision we had to make a week ago--the decision to put him in a nursing home because we just could not continue the care at home by ourselves even with the wonderful help of Hospice.  He lasted just about one week there and I cannot say enough about the level of love and care he … [Read more...]
