Summertime is for Friends

Janis Van Keuren

By the time we had two boys, we had just moved to Arizona–all beach, no water–in the middle of summer. Suddenly, summer wasn’t so fun anymore. We landed in 106-degree heat. And no pool in the backyard yet. But friends again came to our rescue from our home state

Observant

Janis Van Keuren

When I entered the world of blogging, I became more observant. Workshops informed us that if we didn’t move away from our computer desks and enter the world we lived in, it would be difficult to find subject matter about which to write. Look around

Ahead

Janis Van Keuren

Ahead always has the connotation of preparing for something that is coming. Look ahead of your car on the road to determine if the traffic is flowing smoothly or if a dangerous situation is lurking in the traffic up ahead on the road.

Respect

Janis Van Keuren

And in respecting God, our hearts are filled with awe and worship of Him. We are the ones who benefit from respecting God. His blessings are poured out on us, just as an earthly father blesses his children who respect him.

Mom~A Word Full of Many Meanings

Janis Van Keuren

Mom–the word conjures up memories, feelings, longings, blessings, and sometimes regrets or grief. On the most difficult of days, sometimes, I wish I could just call up my Mom or step in the next room and collapse on her bed with my burdens from the day. My Mom was a good listener. I was her only child, though, which made it easier for her to accomplish this. But this was really my Mom’s heart. She was a good listener for … Continue reading →

A Friendly Touch Tucked in the Mail

Janis Van Keuren

It wasn’t my birthday or any special day of the year to expect mail. But this card gently landed in our mailbox which is inconveniently located in one of these modern stations with a jumble of boxes a few blocks away from our home. When I read the return address and saw the artistic calligraphy, I wondered why my friend was writing me at this time of the year. Once I arrived home, I carefully opened the card with a silver-handled letter … Continue reading →

Hubby and I just returned from a whirlwind vacation in Europe. And if I had to re-title this tour, it would be known as a “A Taste of Europe.” We covered 8 countries (itinerary says 9, but not really) in 21 days. That is monumental and exhausting. We stopped in most cities only one night. Just enough time to march through the city with a tour guide trying to communicate with us through audio headphones that crackled, chopped off words, … Continue reading →
