A Prayer of Praise

For the past few days instead of writing today’s post in my head I’ve been writing another post in my head. That other post is dated January 1, 2012. It’s the date on which I will have, God willing, successfully completed my pledge to post-a-day...

Satisfied – A Poem

Mick Jagger sang “I can’t get no satisfaction.” What a sad way to live, but many people do live like that. Some people, no matter how much they have, are never satisfied and always strive for more. I much prefer Johnny Cash’s “A Satisfied Mind,”  knowing that...

Contented – A Poem

Focusing on what we have instead of what we don’t have creates a thankful heart. Having a thankful heart leads to being contented with the blessings we have been given. When we trust in God to provide that which we need, we can be content no...

Pecan Pie for Recipe Friday

I took the day before Thanksgiving off this year to hang out with my son and do some baking. I knew I wanted to make coconut macaroon cookies, but I also wanted to make a pie for Thanksgiving. After all, Thanksgiving just isn’t Thanksgiving without...

Creamed Peas & Carrots for Recipe Friday

This is the vegetable we had with Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. It is a modification of a recipe my son made last year for a French class project. It’s really easy, though I’m not sure how healthy it is with all the cream and butter! Oh...

Thanksgiving Prayer

Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S. I took the day off yesterday and spent the afternoon making pecan pie and macaroon cookies, and brining my turkey for today. Then today I spent 4 1/2 hours making Thanksgiving dinner for just the three of us. We...
