****Our Oscar passed away this past Monday, February 20, 2023. He inspired a few blogs and I wanted to share them again. I love how the Father speaks through all His creation, especially “man’s best friend” of which this boy was. RIP sweet buddy!****

Here he sits.

A dog that was bred in Northern Scotland to rid farms, castles and other areas of vermin. A West Highland Terrier that has a tail that can be pulled out of a tunnel without pain or damage. A dog with a bark loud enough to notify the owner when he gets in that tunnel. (God’s creation amazes me by the way…)

And yet……

*********Our sweet boy passed away yesterday, February 20, 2023. He was almost 12 years old and taught us so many things worth repeating. The Father used him in so many ways. RIP Sweet boy, our hearts are broken, but how grateful we are to have had you in our lives.********

My pup and I have a routine we go through every single night. And if I am not where I am supposed to be, sometime in the evening I have to get there…no matter the hour. Continue reading Lap Dogs →

I thought I could paint and sketch….until I met my husband 40 years ago. He has been retired for five years(UPS) and keeps very busy. I am not sure retired UPS drivers know how to be still. He has loved painting and sketching since he was a little boy. An empty nest and retirement have allowed him to work with the artistic talent/gift that the Father has given him. I actually have some of his work in a retail store now(only took me 37 years to convince him)!

The wonderful news is that we are all talented in something. I truly believe that with all my heart. You may not know what that talent is right now. What do you love to do? What do you do well? When do you feel like you are doing the very thing you were created to do? Try and take some time and enjoy the talent you have been given…who knows what lies right underneath the surface?

Now excuse me while I go draw a stick figure!
