A Seal Over My Heart
On May 19th I got up at 5:30 am to enjoy the Royal Wedding. My husband and my boys were confused as to why I would waste my time watching a wedding of people I don’t know. I have only one reason. No, it isn’t because it is everything Royal nor is it for the famous...
Throw Love Around Like Confetti
Mother’s Day brings different emotions to each of us according to our experiences. Some never had a mother. Many have lost a mother too young. Others have a mother but no loving relationship. And those who have been abused by their mothers. I pray for each of you. I...
