It's been awhile.... just a few random thoughts.

 What is Life?

Years ago some friends and neighbors, used to have evening conversations in the culdesac at the end of a long day.  We would all sit around and talk and then suddenly out of the quietness one night I spoke up.  I 

innocently ask, "What is the meaning of life?"   We would have a good laugh but that phrase became a catalyst for some pretty deep conversations later as that friend group began to see a lot of life issues really quickly.  

Well, here I am 10 years later still contemplating the very meaning.  We will understand it all better by and by.  


Love yall.

wrinkled sheets

I am having company this weekend.  So, as usual I am running around a few hours before they get here trying to make sure the house is clean and presentable.  I began to make up our bed and realized that I was a little more than unhappy about the way those sheets looked.  I folded the covers back and stood at the edge looking at the wrinkles.  I just couldn't be happy with the way it looked.  I noticed that I started to get a little negative about everything I did after that.  I began to think:  There were clothes in the hamper- I can never stay caught up on laundry.... there were a few stray dishes in the sink...why cant anyone ever take out the garbage.... I will never get caught up on my work stuff...  All thoughts that were going through my head.  Those dang wrinkled sheets were going to ruin my excitement over my family coming.  It was at that moment that I had an epiphany!!  I think that sometimes we let our ...

Rest in peace my dear sweet friend.....

There are so many other things that I need to be doing.   So many….   However, my mind just keeps going back to the events of last week and the loss of a special person.   My previous mother in law, Brenda Steed passed away on Tuesday of last week.   It’s no secret that I was married previously before I married Bryan.   Robert and I met my junior year in high school after my friend (who also happened to be his sister, Robin) introduced us when my date for my junior prom backed out at the last minute.   Robert and I went on one date and were inseparable after that. Our casual dating quickly progressed into a serious relationship.     I was also quickly adopted into his family as if I had been there all my life.   Robin and I immediately declared that we were sisters.   And His mother, Brenda, took me in and treated me as if I was her daughter.    If there was a need or want for something then Brenda found a way to get it...

A Good Cry in the Pantry with Alicia at 5:30 AM

Image
  You know you have heard me say that if you listen God speaks in a still small voice.   Well, this morning I think HE sent a BIG LOUD voice to say HELLO!   For some strange reason I get the motivation to clean out my pantry in this house between 5 and 6am.   I have no idea why.   It’s just quiet.   I turn on my worship music and start cleaning and organizing.    Well, this morning, I had a lot to work on.   I had a large tote of serving dishes that had been returned from a wedding FOUR months ago???   I never got the motivation to put them away because I thought I had lost some of the hardware that bolts the trays together.   I was sick about LOSING the hardware.   How could I have lost it?   These dishes were special.   Example of the tiered serving trays. The dishes are 3-tiered serving trays like you use at a tea party type event.   I bought them when Alicia Jolly and I hosted Kristy’s Bridal Tea Party....
