Rest in His care and His love
It was a pretty cold morning and the frost had kissed the ground. We passed by a small lake and floating atop the water were some very pretty ducks. Behind them from the frigid water temps, you could see a trail in the water from where they had just come from. The cold-water leaving imprints…

Go where He calls
God is awesome. I watched a video of a man today stand in front of his congregation and talk about how God called him to become a pastor. This man, had cerebral palsy. He admitted when he first got the calling, he doubted it. He initially didn’t know how God could use him with his…

Our home with Him
I so enjoy watching before and after house renovation projects. Mainly the ones where the buyer purchases a house that no one would want. The ones falling apart and that requires the most work. I love how these buyers take a place that was abandoned and left for ruin and make the house a home.…

Happy endings
I love happy endings. The ones where something positive is the result. Being reunited with loved ones, the sick being healed, someone turning the hard into a triumphant story. You know, things like that. Even if your life is pretty good, life isn’t always positive. It is not always easy. Sometimes we go through things;…

Time swiftly passes by
I remember the days of remote-control cars with my oldest son. Now these days my oldest seems to be controlling mine. The small hands that once held a small remote, now are big hands, wrapped around the steering wheel of my Toyota. My youngest these days seems to have simultaneously outgrown being held in my…

So kindly given
My first Christmas when I was a single mom was something quite unexpectedly beautiful. I didn’t have much money to give my kids much of anything that year. I had bills to pay, mouths to feed and presents were a luxury that I couldn’t really afford. It broke my heart that my kids wouldn’t have…

Gift of love
I can hear what was once my grandma’s clock sing in the background. Every time that it plays the memory of her floods in my mind and I smile. I miss her a lot. But she lived a pretty good long life. Though like most would say, it would’ve been nice to have her well…

Always with us
“Mom, are you there?” When I was a little girl, I was really shy and pretty attached to my mom. If she were in another room where I couldn’t directly see her, I’d ask that question aloud, just so I knew that she was near. For knowing that she was, made me feel safe. Of…
