“No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.” (Luke 11:33, KJV) During our travels, we met with a very special couple who are our friends. It had been sometime since we had seen each other, and we were excited to have some time together. We made a reservation at a restaurant we had not been to before, hoping it was the [...]

"The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good." (Proverbs 15:3, KJV) Our car needed a good detailed wash. This had to be done that day, as we had an appointment the next day. The weather was cold, so standing outside while the car was being detailed would have been a bit much.

After-Christmas sales can be a blessing! Since my physique went through a change due to my health situation and my inability  to exercise, I grew sideways! So, I had to look for another size in clothing. It’s hard when you have to change sizes. You have to start all over again with clothing!

“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:15, KJV) We needed a shelf for my husband’s workspace. We went to Home Goods to check out what may have come in after the holidays.

This was unusal because at this store employees do not personally attend [...]

“And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.” (1 John 4:14, KJV) Before Christmas we went to Walmart to look for some Christmas tree ornaments. The section for the Christmas products was packed with all kinds of Christmas items. I didn’t know which way to turn.
