Be Neighborly
We have these amazing neighbors who seem to always be looking out for us. They’re so thoughtful, encouraging and caring. They are always bringing us goodies, offering help and even fixing things they don’t have to. When I came home from the hospital last year, they got my family and I take out. They’re less…

You’re enough
Many, many, years ago I knew a young man who was not very kind to me. He told me I wouldn’t amount to anything. He said many unkind things. Though everything mean he said that I was, I am not. Everything good that he said I couldn’t accomplish, I did, with the Lord’s help. I…

The next best thing
On the floor were the last two delicious peanut butter balls. Likely now covered in animal hair and surely now deemed inedible. Standing above them was my youngest son, apologizing. Having much too much to carry in his hands, he had dropped the bowl with the rest of the treats. My husband and I immediately…

A place of love
You’re too much, you’re not enough, you’re too this, too that You’re much too skinny or you’re much too fat Your hair is too short, your hair is too long You’re much too weak or you’re just too strong You shouldn’t wear that, it just isn’t cool You’re a little odd, so you must be…

Bloom again
Last year I had a major health scare, and I almost didn’t make it home from the hospital. Though God and His goodness spared my life and I’m grateful for it. For there is so much more I’d like to do yet here. I went home feeling a lot of emotions. Both trying to process…

Kindness for all creatures
I love animals. All different species. From cats to dogs, to Lions and elephants. Though I’m aware as to which ones to have as pets and which ones to enjoy from a distance. I do have a handful of pets, all of which know they are well loved and cared for. Now I know that…

Living water
When we get hurt with an injury, we go to water to wash it to prevent infection. When our muscles are sore and tired we soak in the water. When we want to cool off from a hot day, we swim. When we need to relax, we head to the water to be near its…

Make time for our spouses
I had a great day with my husband yesterday. From early in the morning until we went to bed. He had taken the day off work for family time, and it was such a blessing. We were able to spend time with the kids and one on one with each other. Sometimes in the busyness…

God is our caretaker
I watched a video where a woman bought these caterpillars, just for the purpose of watching them go through metamorphosis. She spent quite a few weeks watching these caterpillars go through all their stages. To help these little creatures along, she made sure to care for them and provide everything they would need to not…
