Freedom
The Declaration of independence was written on this day, 249 years ago. I will share an excerpt from it. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” It…

Victory in Jesus
“Dad, I’m frustrated. Why does it feel like the good guys don’t win?” There was a time in my life where I asked something similar as this to my dad. I remember him sitting down beside me and telling me something along the lines of, “In the end, the good guys always win.” There are…

The most of our time
One thing I have come to find We are but on borrowed time Whether young or ninety-nine We all truly have our time Will our souls be ready, our hearts in the right place When we will see our Saviors face Did we walk with Him Ask for forgiveness for our sin Did we live…

Gratitude for the day
They stood there, popping popcorn out of our homemade popcorn machine. Their laughter echoing the room, as they fought to not lose any popcorn on the ground below them.

In a world where it can be hard to know what facts are facts and where the truth lies in its constant change and difference of opinions;…

Don’t be too busy
I saw this quote by Corrie Ten boom today; “If the devil cannot make us bad, he will make us busy.” I can see so much truth in her statement. We may be doing our best to live righteously, but then we can also fall into this pattern of nonstop busyness. We get too busy…

Teamwork
It is amazing what we can accomplish when we work together. My husband, our youngest son and myself had recently had a big project to complete. We realized as we began, just how much there was to do. Though day by day, bit by bit, and prayer, we stuck to it. God even sent us…
