I’ve been hanging with a friend of mine, she is a Believer – however, she doesn’t always act, speak or even think like one. The truth is – some days she is completely in line with God’s Word, and some days – life is a struggle and gets the best of her.
As we sat our eyes met, I wanted to say something about it, but decided to let Him speak to her heart – knowing nothing that I say will have the same impact as His words would do.
So, I prayed with her- I winked at her, and then – I walked away from the mirror.
Friends, we try every day and we fail every day – none of us are perfect – we are a work in progress – Grateful for His Grace.

DAY ONE of our yearly family Blue Angels week – looking forward to seeing what each day brings – today will bring memories of my mom – it’s her birthday.
Memories – they keep people, places and things alive.
My mom – she was a tough one – she lived a somewhat hard life – but yet – nothing stopped her from moving forward, working hard, loving hard and standing firm in her dedication to her family.
She did this while never condoning the wrong, but always and I do mean always – standing by us through anything we had to face.
She never complained and she taught us to work hard, never complain about the work – nor about the people around us.
It simply isn’t worth our time and definitely not worth allowing it to steal away our positive mindset.
She never expected partiality – she expected everyone to be treated the same, including herself – she was a team player and taught her children to be the same.
Above all – she taught us how to communicate with anyone and everyone we would ever meet. When we have a problem – we go face to face to the problem, and yes, we discuss it face to face, while simply – coming to a solution we can all live with – and yes, to do all of this – in a stand up non-confrontational way.
This is the Jesus way – and all we have to do is follow His lead.
We are loved by love Himself. He loves us big and He loves us strong, and yes – love wins period
Happy Birthday Mom!
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” Proverbs 31:25
