Sunshine
I got up yesterday morning and drew open the curtains. It was nice to see the sunshine. Lately, where I live, the skies have been cloudy and the days have just felt so cold. Though the sunshine always seems to provide a sense of warmth, even against the sometimes bitterness of winter. We all need…

Chocolate Chip Cookies
We baked some chocolate chip cookies. It wasn’t the easiest day for my youngest son. So, after spending some quiet time in his room, I asked him if he’d like to make some chocolate chip cookies with me. That’s exactly what we did and they turned out delicious! The smell of cookies wafted in the…

Love that binds
There are things I have come to find That love is the tide that makes it bind For even if one does disagree Love still keeps unity It says I won’t leave you, or let you go But when I disagree, I’ll let you know But I will still stay, through it all I’ll still…
