Gifts   My sister shared a conversation with me, where she told her daughter to be suspicious of why people give gifts.  As I listened to her speak; I thought about my Mother. My first reaction to my sister’s words was that we were not raised by the same Mother; which of course we...

“Ye are the Light of the World”   In 2001, Andrea Yates did the unthinkable, and murdered her children; sadly, it appears that another mother in Arizona has committed the same heinous act. Tonight I found a sermon my Mother wrote, in response to the events that occurred almost twenty years ago. Her first...

I Should Save This for Mother’s Day   My Mother’s Bible was sitting by my bedside; I had used it to compare a scripture in my own Bible, which is a different version. I have gone through her Bible a lot; but as I picked it up to put it away, I decided to...

A Birthday Wish to Me     I actually carry this card in my Bible, though not in Proverbs; perhaps I need to change that; I still find comfort and inspiration in her words and more importantly, His word.   “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own...

My Father and Me     In all fairness, I cannot imagine who will care about this post, but I cannot help myself. This is a piece of a newsletter from Puerto Rico, in the mid-1960’s, when we lived on the island. Honestly, I wish I had the entire article, posted on the flip...

One of Her Bible’s     I have written, in the past, about how my Mother passed out her treasures, while her children could make use of them. The pieces that I own, which were my Mothers are honestly too treasured by me to be used, things like serving dishes and a cream and...

Happy Birthday Mother   My plans for March 9th are to visit an orchid show, my Mother’s favorite flowers, which I love;  and yes, eat fried chicken, that I do not so much care about, but that she loved.  One of the things I decided a few years ago, was that instead of spending...
