strong

Just remembered this song by Tracey Lawrence: Strong In her bare feet, white cotton dress A ribbon holding back her curls In a sweet gentle voice, she sings a lullaby To two sleepy little girls In the nightlight glow as her babies drift off She looks so fragile, looks so so soft (Chorus:) She’s strong […]

be still

This Christmas Be still. For a moment Be still. And listen Be still. There is a still, small voice Be still. He is speaking Be still. Take it in Be still. You will know Be still.

Christmas

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Aunt Gladys. We miss her laughter, crazy sense of humor, funny laugh, and caramel popcorn already. I already miss her at holidays and the way she called me Darlin. Her birthday is today…93. My mom gave her a party Sunday and hired Elvis to sing to her, but she didn’t make it. Instead, […]
