_My Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Faithful\u00a0 – Are You Faithful?<\/h3>\n

Faithful is an adjective.<\/p>\n

I am so fond of adjectives because they bring additional insight, clarification, and general information that enhances the experience of being a faithful person. Being faithful is important in all areas of our life.\u00a0 It is a core value. Do you want to read more about the job of an Adjective?<\/a><\/p>\n

For many years, I was part of a faithful team of professors who designed and taught a course in Puerto Rico Culture, at Geneva College, in Western Pennsylvania.\u00a0 It was the highlight of our\u00a0 Spring Semester each year. Our course was taught by several professors, each in a different genre.<\/p>\n

In my part of the course, we looked deeply into the art that is created by the artists of Puerto Rico.\u00a0 On the island, I conducted my classes on location in churches, museums, and in galleries.<\/p>\n

In addition, we\u00a0 also taught the course on campus so the students had a good understanding of the Rain-forest,\u00a0 mountains, landscape, people, music, art, literature, population, , and even the language of the residents.\u00a0 Our course included \u00a0a 10-day trip\/study in March when we were all in Puerto Rico, visiting the many places we studied before we arrived.<\/p>\n

My husband, Bob was one of our van drivers. I was delighted when he volunteered to go with us, and he helped in so many ways during that ten-day adventure.<\/p>\n

This annual trip came to mind as I was thinking about my theme, faithfulness.<\/p>\n

Regardless of our occupations,\u00a0 being faithful brings many rewards and experiences to enrich our lives and the lives of those we work with.<\/p>\n

In my quiet moments this morning:<\/p>\n

I envisioned myself with some students and other professors, on a beautiful beach in Puerto Rico. YOU are here with me, too.\u00a0 Thank you for joining us here on the beach this morning!<\/p>\n

We are joyful as we walk on the white sand beach.\u00a0 We have some surprises that are there in the sand.\u00a0 An exquisite shell that we can bring back home?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Can you feel the cool morning sand beneath our feet this morning?<\/p>\n

As the sun rises today, the sand will become hot. Bring some sandals along with you.<\/p>\n

Think of the joy that we share as we seek to\u00a0 find a tropical treasure, on this white sandy beach.<\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

Today, I consider what it means to be faithful.<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

This week I found an entry in a journal that I wrote two days prior to the end of December 2022. Thus,, this \u00a0short comment gave me some insight into events in my life during that year as I wrote a series of memoirs that I intended to use in a future book. At the time, I gave this series the title The Evergreen Journal. I am saving this group of writings for another project to pick up again in the future.<\/p>\n

I am faithful to planning\u00a0 out my writing projects and I will return to the Evergreen Journal pieces\u00a0 when the time is right.<\/p>\n

Yet, For NOW:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In 2026, I am authoring a weekly article on my blog\u00a0 Walking by Inner Vision<\/a> This is a collection of non-fiction stories based on the theme of \u201cGod\u2019s Blessings.\u201d I publish one every Sunday, and plan to create a book for publication in 2027.\u00a0 I am creating the book simultaneously, with each week\u2019s focus and essay, here on the blog.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Writing a sequence of short essays, or memoirs, requires discipline and foresight.\u00a0 As I begin to author the essay for the week, I never know in advance what I will be writing.\u00a0 I wait to see what God has in mind for me to talk about.\u00a0 Often, the theme does not come to my mind until Saturday. In fact, I begin writing without knowing where it will eventually lead me. I think of it as a little journey that begins with no destination in mind.\u00a0 As I travel down the distant pathway, the theme begins to weave a story that will eventually be an article like the one you are reading right now. I walk in faith, knowing that before Sunday arrives, the theme will be established and my article will be submitted for publishing on my\u00a0 blog.<\/p>\n

This theme of faithfulness is so much like my springtime journeys and the joy of\u00a0 walking on a beach looking for shells.<\/p>\n

Though I am\u00a0 retired from my\u00a0 long-distance and international travels and teaching adventures, I am still faithfully searching for objectives every day and waiting for God to lead me to the theme for my writing projects.<\/p>\n

In the same way that I walked with my students\u00a0 on the beaches in Puerto Rico, , eventually, I still discover the\u00a0 beautiful shells among the faithful words in my stories and poems.<\/p>\n

Thank you for walking on this literary beach with me.<\/p>\n

EXTRA…EXTRA…<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Below is the message I wrote in my journal at the end of December 2022.<\/p>\n

“Two more days before I get my “ONE WORD” for 2023.\u00a0 Two more days to live with my 2022 word, “Evergreen.” I have had\u00a0 eight years of choosing ONE WORD for the year at this time.\u00a0 I have learned so much by doing this.\u00a0 Each year I find that the word takes me on journeys and gives me new ideas and wisdom. I grow and expand in new ways each year.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the final week of February, 2026, I write this message for you:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In our imagination, we have returned to Puerto Rico. I’m so glad you took this opportunity to be with me today~<\/p>\n

We will\u00a0 meet at Luquillo Beach<\/a> in the early morning, as the sun is rising.<\/p>\n

We will walk through the sand, and search\u00a0 for something beautiful that has washed up on the beach this morning.<\/p>\n

We walk together in faithfulness and expectation of God’s blessings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note:<\/h3>\n

What inspired me to begin writing blog posts about BLESSINGS?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In\u00a0 November 2025, I participated in a 21-day challenge to write three blessings each day (for 21 days) I began to see blessings in my life every day.\u00a0 Perhaps blessings were always there, but at this time I became aware of them because I was thinking about writing them down.\u00a0 When we can write down important things in our daily life, we can grow significantly in our spiritual walk with God.<\/p>\n

This new awareness of daily blessings has become a template for living.<\/p>\n

Thus, my awareness has led me to share what I am learning and receiving. I have discovered that my days are so much better since I began to look forward to those discoveries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Your comments and prayers inspire the best in me.<\/h5>\n

Let me know if this message is helpful to you.<\/p>\n

Thank you for sharing my Sunday Blessings posts with others to encourage them and share the Love of Jesus.<\/p>\n
