“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough,” Meister Eckhart. Been thinking about prayer today as I’ve prayed for those beautiful children who lost their lives in the flood. The not knowing…I can’t even imagine. I’ve sat on the porch today and twice watched the…

The big fluffy clouds are traveling slowly today, gathering for their afternoon stroll onto the horizon hoping Mother Nature will dress them in a colorful formal gown for the sunset pageant. The sky is robin egg blue, a slight breeze is singing the wind chimes. I’m sitting in the swing watching a few songbirds on…

The sky is so blue this morning, it’s almost purple. Father Sky chose his pastels well early morning as he sketched a summer sky. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.” That’s me as I gaze at the blue heavens. I see four turkey buzzards riding the wind currents,…

Another beautiful day today the Lord has made. Father Sky colored his sky blue, sketched with fluffy white clouds. The sun is burning down with Southern summer heat. I perched on the swing this morning watching songbirds on the feeders while I ate my bagel and drank my coffee. I saw a large yellow bellied…

Sitting in the swing this morning eating my bagel and watching the melodious little songbirds. I loved South Carolina’s ocean sky but there’s nothing like my Alabama blue sky. I’m content back on my front porch, perched in my swing. Psalm 34:18 reads, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in…

Well, the vacation is over. I’m one tired Grandmaw but what a glorious week at Hilton Head. Drove home to Alabama this afternoon traveling under a beautiful blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds. All the way home I thought about all the wonderful days I spent with my oldest son and his family. My…

I love this Erna Bombeck quote. “You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4th, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy and…

Another wonderful day in the summer sun. We had a storm mid-morning. I love a rainy day at the beach watching the storm clouds roll in and gather, booming out their thunder, bolting out their lightning, dropping their rain on Mother Earth. We had enjoyed the pool till the thunder and purple clouds drove us…

Put my beach chair out in the ocean this morning, letting the waves grab my feet, trying to drag me out to deeper water. The large brown pelicans were on shore patrol, flying low over the ocean like B-52 bombers, dropping into the waves, disguising themselves as tugboats, bobbing up and down like toys on…

I’ve had a beautiful day with my family, a gift of joy, and many a deposit to my memory’s bank. We’ve been to the pool and played cards and rode bikes and worked on our puzzle and celebrated my youngest grandson’s fourteenth birthday. Family togetherness is a gift from God. Quoted this often and felt…
