    2020 Resolutions

    Honestly, I’d like to think less and make some really spontaneous decisions. I’m not sure how successful I will be in this. In my head it sounds lovely. Realistically for me, I am going to step out and help some different groups locally. I want to be more active in reaching out to those in my...

    If a Party Were Held For Introverts, Would Anyone Show Up? (Or Would the Extroverts Crash the Party?)

    I really enjoyed reading all the posts. After reading, I’ve decided that I have no idea what I am. Perhaps a mix of both. I am naturally an observer and prefer not to be the center of attention for any reason. I love to get to know people and am very curious and don’t mind sharing my...

    Why do You love Christmas?

    I love Christmas because of all the good memories of family time. 💗 I love Christmas, the family gatherings, the food, the music, the warm cozy feelings, and the reminder to enjoy what time we have with loved ones.

    Why do marriages fail?

    This is actually the prime example of why I think many marriages fail today. The need to BLAME anyone, but themselves. It is never the fault of anyone else for divorce, apart from the couple themselves. Both parties or just one makes a decision that the marriage isn’t worth it and that’s the...

    Why are you single?

    I appreciate you sharing and your post has been on my mind all day. Marriage is indeed a choice, as is most things in life. The thing is, my relationship with the Lord is what makes me know without a doubt that there are certain things the Lord expects and wants of me. He is my father and I am...

    Why are you single?

    At the moment, I'm happily single. As for as reasons, I really don't know any other reason apart from the fact that I haven't met someone that I feel the Lord wants me to be with.

    When the Grinch really stole Christmas!!....

    I suppose it would make for good pay back. 😂 Maybe they’d rethink their gift giving ;-) Or it would solidify your “granny” status. 😁

    When the Grinch really stole Christmas!!....

    When I was young one of my grandmothers got me a wind up musical clown.... What child wants a clown?? After trying to sleep with it in my room, feeling like it was staring at me, I asked mum if I had to keep it.

    Is love unchanging or does it become deeper?

    Really interesting thread. My initial thought is that love can always get or become deeper. I tend to naturally be slow and cautious when moving in a relationship, so love would grow. On the other hand, I have an immediate love for my family members, but that too gets stronger with each day...

    Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

    Watching the sunrise this morning, I was in awe of it’s beauty. I felt like it was a beautiful reminder of God’s love and that He gives us a fresh new start daily. A beautiful start at that. I couldn’t help, but notice the majestic sunset this evening. Just as God has given us a new day, there...

    Would you want to know??

    This is exactly the sort of situation I was thinking of. Mum had her cancer screening today and it’s also the anniversary of a death of someone very close to me. Both situations had me wondering whether I would want to know or if I could know, what would I do? As a friend had mentioned, it’s...

    Why are you single?

    Hello All, In thinking about meeting different people, I sometimes wonder why they are single. I find it to be an interesting question when it’s asked of me and I do think there is value in trying to answer that question. So WHY are YOU single? Is it because of circumstances, past...

    Self Improvement VS Changing Who I Am

    I’m not going to marry someone or be with someone that NEEDS me to change who I am (my faith, beliefs, morals, personality or looks) and I would not want to change the person I end up with either. I think when you’re with someone that you love, those annoying character traits are things that...

    Would you want to know??

    Thank you all for sharing. It’s always interesting to hear what you all think. As I ponder it more and more, I think it would be nice to know. My priorities would change for sure. I think I’d stress a lot less about the little things. I’d be more bold in my sharing. It does make me...

    Would you want to know??

    We all know that we aren't promised tomorrow, but IF we could know when our last tomorrow would be, would you want to know? Why? Why not? If so, would it change how you're living your life? Would it stay the same?

    Help my fiancee doesn't like my family

    Praying for you as you seek the Lord in making the decisions you have to come. My heart aches for you, that you have been put in this position. I understand that your future wife is upset with your family, but she is not at all mature in how she's handling it. There are ways that you can leave...
