As we reach our golden years, it is customary to plan for that next stage of life. With the freedom afforded by retirement, many of us choose to live out a lifelong dream. In my case or our case, I should say because my husband shared the same dream, we were planning to move to a tiny Caribbean island and spend the rest of our days on Island Time! I have loved the ocean from…
I have noticed that a huge number of people and websites are recommending gratitude journals as a tool to remind ourselves of all the good in our lives and in the world. And I completely agree that it is very important to stop from time to time and really access all of the blessings that are showered upon us. Some people might like to end each day with this quiet time to reflex and appreciate…
There are so many intricate details and facets of life that as children, we simply don’t grasp. They’re just part of the tiny little bubble we call our world. It’s not until decades later, that a fleeting glimpse into a childhood memory reveals the deeper meaning. I’m fortunate to have clear and detailed images in my mind of childhood days long gone by. These memories trigger thoughts and “aha” moments each time one surfaces into…
Help me this day to enjoy all you have blessed me with. Help me to remember what is important. Help me to not fear but to always trust in you. In whatever happens, help me to carry on with strength that only you can give. Help me not to complain but help me understand. In Jesus name, Amen See The Good would like to thank Amy for her guest post. Amy is a Florida resident…
I was recently reading an article about how we as humans seem to take all of the good things in our lives for granted, and sadly we don’t really appreciate their value until they are gone. And in many cases once lost they never return, and we live with the remorse of our lack of understanding and gratitude. That made me think of a time not quite a decade ago when I got very sick.…
Even on my darkest days, I strive to remember that there are many people who are in far more difficult situations than I am facing. And I am not referring to people who are thousands of miles away living in foreign countries, these people are right here in my country, my state, and my city. Some could be just down the street or even in the next building, and it is simply the grace of…
When I think back to my childhood, my holiday memories are very vivid. I can close my eyes and the images are so clear that I reach out to touch them. I can feel the warmth from the fireplace. I can smell the faint hint of pine in the air from the Christmas tree and I can hear Bing Crosby singing “White Christmas.” I feel as though I have been transported…
You are always willing to give a helping hand. I think of all the wonders you have done. You have turned non-believers into believers with your miraculous ways. Even when it’s cloudy and gray…if I need advice or just need a friend, you are there to guide me all the way. Some may curse you, but I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to know You. See The Good would like…
Our passage of the day, 1Kings 19:11-13 Most problems we are facing today could not be there if we followed the biblical way of acquiring wealth. However, the problem is, many people want to start from the finish, not the start. This is the reason we have many corruption and unresolved murder cases in the world today. Yes, it has to start small. The short story below drives the point home, …
The holiday season seems to be a signal to me that after all of the celebrating there is an end coming. In most cases, it is the end of a year which is followed by an opportunity for a new beginning if we choose to take it. New Year’s resolutions can range from being more fiscally responsible, to personal health goals or working to become more mindful of the world around us. But each person…
