Hope an Anchor to My Soul...: April 2016

http://www.hopeanchorsyoursoul.com/2016_04_01_archive.html

Hope Through Service and Gratitude. Friday, April 29, 2016. It was October 2009. Life was good—no it was amazing! Verything in our life started to change. I remember when it happened. It was the day after we had these family pictures taken. I ended up at the hospital with severe pain and a diagnosis of diverticulitis. After a few days in the hospital and 10 days of IV antibiotics I was finally on the mend. At the time I was really surprised that I had this situation arise. But no such luck. Yes, he coded.

Hope Through Service and Gratitude. Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Life's a Journey- Serve With a Friend. Paul doing what he loved to do! He was always cooking for others! One year ago today, Paul passed away after courageously battling cancer. He was such an inspiration to all who knew him. He was that one-in-a-million kind of guy! As I was thinking about his many great qualities today, I think his greatest qualities were his ability to love unconditionally and serve others. If we couldn’t do it toge...

Hope an Anchor to My Soul...: Just Keep Moving!

http://www.hopeanchorsyoursoul.com/2016/07/just-keep-moving.html

Hope Through Service and Gratitude. Friday, July 1, 2016. Two months ago I was riding my bike. I decided to take a short cut to get back to the main road. This short cut involved some dirt…and my bike got stuck…I went to pedal forward and my bike wouldn’t move. As I tried to pedal but couldn’t move I found myself starting to tip over. I knew that I was going to fall over if I didn’t put my foot down to prevent it. As I placed my foot on the ground my ankle immediately twisted and I heard and felt a snap.

Hope an Anchor to My Soul...: August 2014

http://www.hopeanchorsyoursoul.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Hope Through Service and Gratitude. Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Who doesn’t love a good party? This morning started out as “one of those mornings”…missing my husband…listening to sad music…then feeling sorry for myself. Yes, I successfully created a pity party. Who doesn’t love a good pity party now and then? Then, I decided…enough with the pity party. Time to move forward! Just so you know, the pity party will come back again someday…but fortunately it doesn’t come around very often! Being the amazing m...

Hope an Anchor to My Soul...: Finding Your Purpose

http://www.hopeanchorsyoursoul.com/2015/11/finding-your-purpose.html

Hope Through Service and Gratitude. Friday, November 27, 2015. Since my husband, Paul, died I have had moments of wondering why on earth Heavenly Father kept me here and took him. In all honesty, I always saw him as the better parent. He was better at so many things. Maybe that is why he was called home and I get to stay here—or maybe I am still here because that was just a part of our plan—my plan. The other day, I was reading in Philippians 1 and these verses stood out to me:. For to me to live. As a w...

Hope an Anchor to My Soul...: May 2016

http://www.hopeanchorsyoursoul.com/2016_05_01_archive.html

Hope Through Service and Gratitude. Tuesday, May 31, 2016. Recently, a friend sent me this quote, “. Chinese philosophers would say: don’t discover who you are, let alone embrace what you find. Instead of choosing self-acceptance, choose self-cultivation. Instead of embracing yourself, overcome yourself. This is not just how you become a flourishing adult. It is the best way to create a flourishing world.”. 8211;Michael Puett and Christine Gross-Loh. I wanted to truly live instead of merely exist. My lif...
