Strange but Wonderful
I love the quirky ways God reaches out to us! I'm sure He has a sense of humour!
I am just an ordinary Grandma, journeying through life.
In these pages, you are welcome to join me as I reflect on the blessings all around us.
Some of my blogs will feature short stories (I am, after all, a writer!) Others are simple reflections of what God is showing me.
It is my hope and intention to bless you through my words.

The teacher strolled over, looking at the blank page and smiled at her. “Would you like some help with ideas?”
Sonia Rose.
This is a 'Sonia' rose in my garden. I was so excited to find this fragrant long stemmed rose variety with salmon pink blooms.
