It was a long hot day of shopping and driving. I was exhausted and the only thing on my mind was food. We headed for the nearest restaurant. Out of nowhere, a beautiful lady appeared in line just behind us. She was so cute, tall and well bodied you couldn’t miss her. But something stood […]
Can I have chocolate, sweetie? My hubby asked our daughter. Ok daddy, you can take a bite, she said in her high spirits. “Just a bite?” he asked her again. “Yes daddy”. “Can I have all of it?”. By now my hubby was pushing her. Why? And No You can’t daddy. It is mine! She responded without […]
She listened quietly on the other side of the phone all the while I was fussing. As the conversation drew to an end, my aunt said ‘Do you remember the guy with the one talent?’ Gently reminded me of this scripture in Matthew 25:15…Like cool water pouring over on a hot day, my soul was refreshed.I don’t […]

“I want life, more life and more life”. I watched my friend go through the devastation, battles, tests, chemotherapy and of course lots of prayers too. It wasn’t long she became distant and resolved to fate that maybe this was it for her. Every time she wanted to call it quit, she will look at the […]
Not again! Another nasty statement, I said under my voice. There was no attempt whatsoever to say what I had done wrong only negative and hurtful remarks. My mood was downed. I struggled to come to terms with what my critic was thinking. I spoke to my hubby and shared my hurt. Thankfully, as we talked […]
I cleaned and scrubbed as it is my manner on most weekends but this weekend was by far different.
