We have a “different kind of Christmas” this year. Many of you, for many reasons, are experiencing the same thing. Ours is my illness and COVID risks. Many of you have lost loved ones, and my heart breaks for you.

This year we decorated a bit different. My snowman collection is sitting in different places. Our large Christmas tree is not up. Instead, we have two smaller trees and a passed down Dickens Village.

We won’t see our one and only grandchild…my emotions are a bit messy.

Ah, you have finally settled down with a good book. Sunscreen applied, hat tilted just right. The waves are lapping against your chair and the sun is overhead. The book you have been waiting to read all winter.

Then you are viciously attacked by a flying beach ball!! Actually a kid just missed hitting it back to his brother. It came out of no where! You dropped the book, turned over your iced tea, and yes….tipped your chair. Continue reading ~The Ocean Series~ Beach Balls →

Unlimited Plan

We are always looking for a deal on our cell phone plans. An “unlimited plan” is always the goal with a great price.

To obtain the necessary information when you need it with no limits on how much or how often. To have unlimited access to call or text anyone on your contact list.

We already have it.

I am not talking about any of those major cell phone companies, or even the ones that advertise to the “vintage crowd” such as me.

You probably know where I am going with this…God seems to always use the very simple things in life to speak to my heart or confirm what I already know to be true. He knows that I need that sometimes.

We have “unlimited data” and “unlimited access” to our heavenly Father. We can talk to Him anytime, night or day. We are never told how much or how often. I don’t have to worry about charges, that debt has been paid.

How is that for an “unlimited plan?”

Pretty simple, huh? Sometimes simple is good. No complications, no definitions, no arguments…and no customer service reps to have to go through.

There is a song playing right now that has spoken to my heart like none other has in a very long time. It is pretty simple. It acknowledges who God is and how we worship HIM.

Here is part of it:

“You are here….Moving in our midst….I worship you…..I worship you

Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness..

My God, that is who you are.” (written by Sinach)

Way Maker sung by Mandisa

So as simple as it seems, the unlimited plan we have with our God is amazing. Don’t complicate it.

He loves us. And when we surrender to that love, embrace and believe it….He can love others through us.

It is that simple.

I am going to keep taking advantage of this unlimited plan, how about you?
