Grown in Faith

He comes knocking at our door He who loves us at our core Our creator, He knit us in the womb Without Him, we will be surly doomed Our provider, meeting our needs Cleansing our souls and pruning the weeds Our deliverer saving us from our mess Giving generously, we truly are blessed Our friend,…

I sat down and looked at old photos and watched old videos of my children from years ago. I listened to their little voices on the old recordings, I watched them do their silly little dances and watched them play with pure joy. They were so small, and there was a part of me longing…

My husband is the friendliest man I’ve ever known. Anywhere he goes, he seems to make a friend, if only for a moment. Its like he lives to bring others some form of joy. Hes just kind. I admire this quality. It’s one I’m needing to work on. It’s a Christ-like character, that I’m still…

Growing up, it was cheap shampoo and cheap bar soap. It was off brand mac and cheese and ramen noodles at times. We weren’t rich, but I was cared for. Times were hard, sometimes, but I also had what I needed. Occasionally, things I wanted. Like my junior year prom dress. It may not have…

Dark chocolate covered pomegranate candy. There is often always a bag in our fridge, as my husband frequently keeps them in there for me.  He does this because he knows they are my favorite. It’s a sweet gesture and another way to show his love for me. Love notes in the front pocket of his…

It’s unfortunate how, as a society, we put so much glory into celebrities and the like, and not enough in God. It’s misplaced, praise.
