2026. NOVEMBER. TIME. TRUE. TRUST

 November 2026

Time. True. Trust. 

What a time to be true and trust. I believe God and spirits are moving around the earth. I am writing this on All Saints’ Day with all hallows eve just past and All Souls’ Day to follow so maybe I have help. 

 

 We just changed from daylight savings time back to ordinary time which is the ongoing continuous progression of existence where events move between past present and future   This just means you’re among the living. 

So are we being true or faithful. What a noble word or thought is this and then we trust in God. And with those big thoughts I am thankful for so much. Hope you are too. 

Happy Thanksgiving all month. 

 What are you most thankful for?  I like to make lists but instead think of a time when you were able to be your true self and thank your family for this time   Then think of a time when you really trust and thank God. 

2026. OCTOBER feet

            October 2026 feet.    

     Walking in the fall creates a collage for your senses. As I step through the grass and pebbles, the yellowing aspen leaves are curly or soft, some crispy to the touch. (Wear your sandals one more time before summertime is gone. ). The wispy wind talks to you like ghostly, long-lost friends. The brief silent moments bring mystery before a pair of owls, doves, or warblers visit with each other. Tiny flowers appear anywhere gracing the field with dainty refined edges. The willow trees wave and you sense that summer is slipping away but like last spring the world is at our feet so don’t miss it. Walk a little while with your 

2026. SEPTEMBER. STAY

                    September 2026 stay    

Do you want summer to stay a little longer?  Well pause a while every sunrise and sunset and be thankful for all the wonderful memories you’ve made this season. In the west, we are lucky to usually have an Indian summer, a couple weeks in late September or early October to have summer temps and sunshine again, it makes for a wonderful transition into a season of changes especially in nature. 

     We believe in prayer and praise from the rising of the sun until it sets and love to linger outside at those times as well. We are thankful for a place to call home where we can revive our hearts. We love green pastures and refreshing waters for all of God’s creatures. We believe in hard work and restful times to balance our life adventures. We believe in helping our neighbors and doing our best at every turn. We look for beauty and joy each day however small or hidden it may be. We believe God is doing miracles all around us if only we have time to see and seek His light along the way. Grit , gratitude, and grace are a gift to each of us each day a gift that we can give back to God with our whole heart.

Here comes autumn 🍂 

2026 AUGUST GLOW

 August 2026 glow

The love of summer sandals and s’mores has us living every moment to the max  

Late summer has its way of gently winding us down for a new season to come. the outdoor sun, lowers and softens its glow each afternoon. lightning and storms pop up, making us retreat to the inside. 

Light whispers, a subtle reflective, poetic way of guidance towards the coming season. Hope arrives softly like dawn touching the sky. The great, magical sunlight is all but gold making these now nostalgic scenes like fireflies in ta summer moment.  Then the moonlight gently glows like a blessing from the heavens.

SCRIPTURE TO REMEMBER:  “your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path”

2026 July wave & step

JULY. 2026 wave

Flags are rippling or waving, to America, what a republic, can we keep our life and freedoms given to us by the one and only, true God of creation, I believe we can especially when we serve Him and others.  

    Thank a veteran, see a parade, smile at a child, and feel the joy in your heart swell and ripple outward. 

As MLKsaid “ it’s a good day to pray for our nation. “

   Like the (raspberry 🥀 or strawberry 🍓 ) moon, we borrow our light and it ripples or spreads out before us like waves from the tide washing back to sea or like soap bubbles a child blows out through a wand. Thank the Lord for all His blessings and His spirit and then pass it on. 

Step

Summer calls us to step outside into the world of nature and see God’s amazing cre. Summer gives a fresh new look at adventure. It inspires us to be courageous and follow the path less traveled ( Robert frost )

The hundred days of summer is upon us. Take a walk , a hike to a waterfall, or just look around and see where one step takes you.   Watch your step… and don’t forget to look up too.

Make it an adventure, a treasure hunt, or just a walk to praise our Lord and savior. 

This year imagine or remember our forefathers like Washington who fought for God-given freedoms, for liberty, our beliefs, and this God inspired nation , building our Republic. Celebrate the nation 250th anniversary. With each step we can be grateful to make the next one a little better. Each step is a fresh new possibility.

 2026 JUNE STEP

Walk and look 

Summer calls us to step outside into the world of nature and see God’s amazing creation. Summer gives a fresh new look at adventure. It inspires us to be courageous and follow the path less traveled. (ie, Robert Frost)

   The hundred days of summer has begun. Take a walk, a hike to a waterfall, or just look around: what do you see in one step?  Make it an adventure, a treasure hunt, or just a walk to praise our Lord and savior. 

   This year imagine or remember our forefathers like Washington who had to fight for liberty, our beliefs and our rights from God to build this Republic. Maybe build a fort or play with sticks and stones, cherish all they did for us as a nation. Celebrate the 250 th anniversary and be grateful enough to make wherever you are just a little bit better just one step better by attitude or effort. 

As a shepherd or a steward of the land we’re going to try to make each step a fresh new possibility. Love and light to all. 

   If outside in the evening, memorize this note, “your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” and thank the stars or moon for sparkling. 

A faith story:  God told Abram to look up to the sky. He told Abram that he would have as many descendants as the stars in the sky and changed his name to Abraham (father of many nations).

   

A faith step:  close your eyes, take three deep breaths and focus on Jesus as you sit quietly. God bless 🕊️

2026 MAY gold

 May. 2026  the gold’s up!

Turning on to a gravel road leads you to the gold of the country, rural home  The sun shines differently on a gravel road with a hint of sparkle to brace you for the adventure ahead.  Adventures with sunlight, dirt, and rocks, water, with wildflowers and grass, animals, and  birds, and most of all cheerful hospitality.  You can feel the sunlight shining for longer days and starry nights.  The gravel roads will be paved in gold when we go to our heavenly home so I hope you’ll see something in a new way today.  And the scripture verse to memorize is Matthew 5:16  “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Can you see the gold?
