I believed that I had no useful purpose in the world. I worked for the local telephone company, and all day long, I answered people's complaints with their computers or printers. While I knew that the work was important, I felt like a cog in a machine, not someone offering a uniqueness perspective to people... Continue Reading →
I remember a time when I did not patiently endure what was happening in my life, so mad I was at God for a child's suffering that I could not pray. Thankfully, God sent an angel who prayed for my son and me, and everything ended well. In the psalm today, Psalm 39, David was... Continue Reading →
These flowers were in the Municipal Park in Elche, Spain. They looked like mums, but may not be. They look as though God himself painted them that vibrant yellow that soothes our souls. Thank you, God, for the color yellow! What a gift! Posted for Cee's Photography's Flower of the Day December 5, 2018
This wall of flowers was so interesting to me as Douglas and I visited the Roman ruins in the middle of the city of Alicante, Spain. The Roman ruins are called Licentum Ruinas Romanas. The name of the flowers was nowhere to be found, but they were so beautiful that my heart just felt peace... Continue Reading →
Every time I stand or sit on the beach, I regret not knowing how to swim. I wish that I had learned how to swim when I was a little girl. But, as I wrote before, my mother did not let me learn to swim, ride a bike, or skate, stating that I might get... Continue Reading →

I loved this flower because it reminded me of a hummingbird hovering as it partakes of the nectar from a flower. I forgot to get the names of the flowers, and just took pictures as my heart was touched by them....

As I looked around the room at my grandchildren holding their children, I felt as though I had time-traveled into the future, not quite able to come to grips with the fact that the ones whom I used to change their diapers and give good-night kisses were already parents. It didn't seem possible that the... Continue Reading →
I am not a photographer, but I wanted to participate in this challenge, to present what happiness means to me. Happiness means being with family, especially new members like great-grandchildren. Below are four generations together on my birthday. Happiness is traveling the world with my husband, an adventurer if ever there was one. Thank God... Continue Reading →
Last weekend was special because I saw some of my granddaughters whom I had not seen in a while, due to their family and work commitments whenever Douglas and I are in Atlanta. While sitting down to talk, I found myself on my birthday trying to be heard among a group of twenty-somethings and thirty-somethings... Continue Reading →
