Stuff We Talk About

Although my mother went home to be with the Lord, she told me something years ago that I will never forget. I want to pass on the same...

"A woman is like a tea bag - you never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water." Eleanor Roosevelt, former First Lady " Why is a woman like a tea bag, you may ask. It's quite simple. We don't know the strength of a tea bag until we put the tea bag into hot water. A woman's true strength comes to the surface when she gets into hot water and then you'll see her real strength come out. You'll see a women stand out under pressure and at that very moment you will see

By Vernalee To my female followers, do know this - Our roles as teachers can never be underestimated . We are the backbones to our family's learning and development. When God created us, he gave every family member (fathers/husbands, mothers/wives, children) all specific roles, duties, and responsibilities. Women shoulder a great responsibility to teach, educate, and show the way. It is a coveted role that carries great weight. When we do our part, we become the capable wo

By Vernalee I'm sure tha t you have heard the expression , "The pot calling the kettle black" many times. The phrase originating from times of old - means that the " person you are talking to is calling you something that they themselves are (and generally in abundance). Translating the expression to terms of everyday life, it's easy to look at others and be critical. Sometimes, we criticize others for the exact things that we do. Yes, you read it right! We can be so synth

By Vernalee A watched pot never boils means that “time seems to move more slowly when one is anticipating something or waiting for something to occur. Further when something takes time to do, it doesn’t help to constantly check on it. You just have to give it time.“ Because of our anxiousness coupled with the waiting game - (waiting for something to happen), it can feel like it’s taking forever. We have to just let it be ...particularly those things that we cannot control.

Pictured - Boiled Potatoes and Eggs- It’s Amazing: “Water softens one and hardens the other. “ By Vernalee The saying, The Same Water that softens the potato hardens the egg is a proverb that highlights “ how different individuals or situations can respond in vastly different ways to the same external forces or circumstances. One’s internal composition or character determines the outcome, not the external pressure itself.” Like the egg, some people may harden (or become stro

By Vernalee In Luke 11: 25 -26 Jesus said , “ I am the resurrection and the life . The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” Yes, the resurrection gives us a hope for the future. For sure, there is something about the name of Jesus! Praises for him on high. Blessings! Happy Easter!

By Vernalee With The Lord by our side, you don't need anyone else. Walk with him! Talk with him! Lay your burdens down before him. He will never leave you or forsake you. God hears and answers prayers. Because of his love, he shelters us and make our load lighter. What a mighty God we serve! I can't help but proclaim What a friend we have in Jesus ! Happy Sunday! God bless!

By Vernalee "If not now, when? If not me, who?" is  a call to immediate action and personal responsibility. The full, original quote focuses on self-care, helping others, and urgency.  It emphasizes that one should not wait for others to act or for a better time; it is a plea to take responsibility  now .  It is used as a powerful motivator for taking personal initiative and preventing the postponement of important, necessary actions.” This brings me to my longstanding phrase
