Continuing Christmas

Christmas is my all-time favorite holiday.  Who doesn’t enjoy sweets, presents and a cheerful disposition?!?! As much as I’d love to celebrate Christmas all year long, my waist line would expand and even my ‘fat jeans’ would not fit anymore.  Sigh. However for the past three weeks, I’ve been mulling over my reasons for placing […]

Getting Ready

Now that Halloween is over and we are on the road to Thanksgiving, one can only assume that Christmas and New Year’s will be here before we know it. YIKES!!!  It’s the first week of November!  Can you believe it?  Where has 2014 gone?  I feel overwhelmed just thinking about it!!! So, guess what?!?!   I’d […]

Merry Christmas!

Since the next two weeks of my life will be filled with fun, family, friends and the kids on Christmas break, I will be posting only once each week.  I know, I know…you’re gonna miss me terribly!!  HA! HA! Honestly, I can’t contain my excitement because I love this time of year!  There’s nothing better […]

Angels

This time of year always makes me think about angels. I don’t know if it is the fact that Mary, Joseph, shepherds and others had encounters with angels or if it has something to do with all of the singing that goes on around Christmastime that reminds me of these celestial beings. Whatever it is, […]

Christmas in July

Having worked for an online retail store many moons ago, I still remember Christmas in July.  As with any retailer, we had to have our Christmas collection selected, ordered and the catalog had to be complete in the beginning of every summer. Do you know how hard it is to get into Christmas decorations when […]

True Gifts

It’s the last week before Christmas and I’m making my list and checking it twice!  Sounds like a song, huh?! (Don’t mind me; I think I’m funny sometimes!) Anyway, Christmas is my favorite time of year. In the month of December I can be found trekking through stores and browsing websites online to find the […]

The Whisper

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets. Hebrews 1:1 Can you imagine hearing the voice of God?  WOW!  I think I’d be in awe, but scared out of my socks!!   Talk about shaking in my boots!  YIKES! However, in light of the latest devastation in […]

Keeping up with the Jones’

I love the way God works! For example, today’s topic (which I picked months ago) is about “keeping up with the Jones’” – um, yea, Meg – we got that from the title! I digress. So…yesterday morning I read my devotional from Joe Gibbs.  Well, lo and behold!!  Mr. Gibbs wrote about the perils of […]

Now What?

Toys are strewn all over the house, dirty dishes are stacked in the sink and the garbage can is filled to overflowing.  The boys are playing quietly upstairs with new toys and watching new movies. (Yes, even the “big” boy is playing with his new toys, too.)  Sigh.  It’s the day after Christmas. And my […]

Christmas Baby

Seven years ago today, I was blessed with the birth of a son.  Jake was born on one of the coldest mornings we’ve ever had in December.  Thankfully, we were snug as a bug in a rug in an Austin, Texas hospital surrounded by nurses and doctors who knew what they were doing. The birth […]
