Thought For The Day. . .

I know this picture is a bit on the grainy side, but I really liked the sentiment of the saying:

“It’s your road, and yours alone. 
 Others may walk it with you, But no one can walk it for you.”

It would be nice if someone could take our place and walk on our road for awhile; perhaps making it less painful.

Wouldn’t that be nice?

But we don’t know where our road is going to take us, do we?  I believe that my road has been painful but it also has been a … Read More

Today is a day Americans set aside to gather with family, friends or both, bow our heads and give thanks for the blessings God has given us. It is wonderful to have the day off from work and I am busy this morning making my part of the Thanksgiving dinner: homemade mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce.  Because these two dishes are so important to the classic Thanksgiving dinner, I take a lot of care in preparing them and enjoy watching people gobble them up. I started making homemade cranberry sauce years ago after I was served this particular cranberry sauce… Read More

The store was crowded and the shelves were stocked with all of the things that I buy at this particular time of year: pumpkin, cream cheese, spices, nuts and cranberries.  Depending on the aisle I… Read More
