Canaan and the Holidays

Hello everyone,

As we enter into the holiday season, I’m praying that we all seek peace and warmth from family and friends.  The economic conditions that we’re all experiencing could, if you allow it, make you feel helpless in that you won’t be able to purchase and do the things that you’d like for your loved ones.

Remember, TIME is such a commodity in this world!  Your time, OUR time is valuable and it’s definitely worth spending that precious resource with those who need your love and attention.

The greatest gift…is our love and TIME! 

Hugs,
mel

  • Repair, Restore, Rebuild July 24, 2010
    Many readers will find it interesting that this ole’ Baptist girl could be, at any certain day or time, praying in tongues, the Heavenly Language from God. But at the age of 20, I started attending an Assembly of God church which as most know, have a very strong style of pentecostal worship.   It was there I […]

  • Lessons Learned June 17, 2010
    Don’t you think it’s a wee-bit strange that we keep going through the same old thing? We keep making the same old mistakes, we lose our faith then we lose our way and it goes on and on and on and on…. I am working with an account in Orlando that is in addition to […]

  • M.B.A. March 26, 2010
    My job as Program Manager for Managed Service Provider services to client companies has proven to be very successful and I thank God every day for being employed. I’ve been in staffing for almost 14 years now and have recruited many people for jobs. I’ve always enjoyed dealing with the diversity of people from a large […]

  • …and it’s a good thing! March 23, 2010
    This past Saturday, I visited Rowena’s store, Accents by Josie, in downtown St Petersburg. The store sells boutique clothing and some home interior items and I always enjoy checking out their new inventory. In the very back is a long mirror mounted on the wall which reaches from the floor up to the ceiling.   It’s beautifully adorned and […]

  • GOOD THINGS IN RALEIGH March 16, 2010
    On March 5, Canaan Band and all their partners & friends loaded up their equipment and gear and headed up to Raleigh to participate in their 34 year celebration. It was a long 12-hour drive and lots of stops along the way for bio breaks and gas fillups.  It’s probably needless to mention that 10 people […]

  • You Don’t Go That Way Anymore February 25, 2010
    When my partner broke up with me, it was the most devastating thing! I didn’t see this “bombshell” coming and was not prepared for the heartache.  I couldn’t understand how and why I couldn’t see this coming.  I’d always seen myself as a pretty perceptive kind of person.  But this event ”smacked” me upside the head and […]

  • Does God Really Want My Salad? January 21, 2010
    Years ago, me & my roommate were car-pooling to the other side of town to work.  We worked only 1-2 miles away from each other so it was convenient to do this. Some days, I would go and pick her up at lunch and we would go to this fabulous Cuban restaurant in town. They made the […]

  • My Son January 5, 2010
    This past Saturday, I said farewell to my son, Michael, who is off to serve a second tour in Iraq.  I held my emotions in until I got home because I didn’t want him to see my grief.  My grief is because I was there when he returned in 2006 from Iraq and it was […]

  • OH YES, you DO! December 17, 2009
    Perhaps it was because I had been in corporate meetings all week and had many work-related things on my mind. Nevertheless, as I drove down the road, I prayed, "God, please help me today because I have nothing to give, nothing to sing, and nothing to share". And in that moment, so quietly and so calm, I heard HIS voice say, "OH YES! you DO! […]

  • It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year December 14, 2009
    It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. I love that song and all the other songs associated with the Christmas Holidays.   And as I hear those songs I think back to my childhood.  I’m so blessed to have parents who embellished the Christmas spirit and allowed us to believe in Santa Claus as children.   […]
