Awwww…Debbie…a very timely post for me, reminding me of God’s desire to have my attention. Thank you, Friend! Reply
I remember hearing that from my Granny and yes, she was correct, the years fly by. My baby is now 46. My husband and I are 68 and 69, married 49 years and those years went by way too fast. I love what you write. I need all the encouragement I can get and I appreciate you sharing your life with us. Thank you so much. Debra Reply
Debra, I think many in our age bracket need encouragement, daily.49 year wow, I have been married twice and this April 2024 it would have been 50 years if he and I had of stayed married then. Reply
Debbie, you are a brave woman sharing life in your blogs! Thank you for sharing! It lets us know that we are not alone on this life’s journey. And yes, time is definitely speeding by! I even said that phrase of getting older and time going so fast! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family! With love and hugs, Susan Reply
Susan, thank you for your comment, so good to see you. Maybe it is brave, IDK. But, it is true life and we are not alone. We never know that someone is going through, or has gone through that has impacted theirs lives. If one thing I say here can help, so be it, right? Love you my sweet FB friend. I bet that great grand is growing up! Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Reply
Thank you for sharing your heart with us and also the beautiful photos you post on FB! Just a side note for me, I appreciate the larger font on your blog. With the light color the smaller the font was hard to read. Another phase of aging I’m dealing with.😉 God bless you Debbie! Trust your Thanksgiving was happy and blessed 🍁 Reply
I try to remember to make the font larger, my programmer has to change the color and she has been covered up at her first job. Hopefully she can get to it soon and make it blog and black. Reply
What a lovely message. My mom was the one that told me time goes by so fast as you get older. I have to say she was right! So I try to enjoy every holiday and Thanksgiving is my favorite! Reply
We give thanks as part of of our life everyday. You bless us with your life. Letting go is never easy I am sitting here alone as I practice. My mother will be 84 next week. I care for her 24/7. Her health changed yesterday. My sisters and I convinced her to go to the ER. She is in the hospital feeling better already. Yet sitting here I realized I will have to let her go soon. At 66 I will lose her to heaven . Letting go, everyone hates changes. God bless you for helping me find some peace. Reply
Crustal, it is never easy to lose your Mother, if she has been a real Mother all your life. When I say things about mothers here I get well, my mother was never there so you know what I am saying here. My heart goes out to you, and you will be in my prayers as well as you Mother and the family. Reply
I needed this today. I am going through a very stressful health problem. God will see me through. Reply
You give encouragement and direction to so many of us, Debbie. God bless you! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁🍂 Reply
Debbie, you are such a godly inspiration to me and others. I admire the way God is using you and your life stories. Like you, I am so thankful for His love, mercy and grace! Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving with your family! Love and prayers.🙋🙏🏼 Reply
Mary, I needed that today, your kind words. You know the devil is a lair, and he has been on me this week bigtime! God Bless, and Happy Thanksgiving Reply
Such wise words…….. And you can feel sincerity in your writing. Thank you for sharing with us Prayers, love, hugs Reply
Jean, I am told that often that my emotions can be felt through my words, I truly think that is also a gift, or maybe just that fact that I am a real empath, maybe that is what’s coming through. Happy Thanksgiving Reply
I never take your posts lightly Debbie. I gain strength from your ways of handling stressful situations and comparing them to mine. I know some I have done the best I could and some I wish I had been able to do better but through it all I know God is by my side. Without my problems I wouldn’t appreciate my gifts. Yes, I have let some people go. Some by choice, some by death, and some left me. I know I need more time on my knees in order to deal with the latter. Reply
Debbie, I dont take you, or your words lightly. We are walking out similar seasons, my friend, we are only one month apart in age, but it serms that at this stage, we are walking the same oath. Letting go, looking forward, holding tight onto Him. Reply
How i needed to hear this today! I have been putting off retiring because I was so scared I could not make it without a job! He has opened my eyes lately and this is my last week of work. God is so good! Keep em coming Debbie & know that we are paying attention me friend, just don’t always post a comment. Love you BIG! Reply
Thank you, Geri I wish you all the best in your new adventures of retirement. Enjoy each day to the fullest. Even if it is staying in your PJ’s and reading a good book, watching TV or just doing nothing at times. Happy Thanksgiving Reply
Vonnie, thank you, and I always want to be that to you. I never want to bring others down, yet build them up, up, up. Have a good Thanksgiving.. Reply
Oh Debbie you have such an eloquent way of saying things. I’m so sorry that you had to say goodbye to someone because that’s really hard to do at times. God is there with you and will give you peace and comfort in your heart ❤️. God is so good in every way. Being alone is not the worst thing in the world. I love you my dear and sweet friend and you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. Reply
It was not easy to let go but, it was necessary for my well being. We live and hopefully we learn. I love you, my sweet friend. Reply
Thank you Debbie for sharing. I am thankful for your life stories. I am too almost 68 in Jan. A lot of our stories of childhood and adulthood are simular, so I can feel your emotions in your writing. God Bless. God is using your life story. Hugs and have a Blessed Thanksgiving. Kathy Reply
