Celebrating Thanksliving Every Day of the Year

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Thoughts, Writing/ 35 Comments/ 879

A repost from years ago but very applicable for me today. I hope you enjoy. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that Continue reading →

God’s Perfect Timing

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional/ 26 Comments/ 620

God’s perfect timing. It’s there. All of the time.  But so often we are so doggone oblivious to it that we just can’t see it.  Stepping back and looking back over my life I can see it so clearly.  The friend that was placed in Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Inspiration/ 9 Comments/ 401

I shared this image yesterday in my blog post about Biltmore Blooms and it has stuck in my mind for some reason. Sometimes images do that. As I walked out to our dock earlier today I spied a dandelion in our yard. There was a Continue reading →

An Abundance of Katherines

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
