Grown in Faith

I look in the mirror. My face is slightly fuller. I have a little more wrinkles, small amount of silver is peaking through my hair and I’m not as slender as I used to be. I know that I’m getting older. I can’t expect myself to look like I did when I was younger. Although…

“Let me help you,” my husband gently speaks to me when I’m overwhelmed. My youngest son starts the laundry and makes dinner. My oldest son climbs on the roof to help with a project. Through all of the I love you; I hear it loudest in the actions that my loved ones make. It is…

We sat there, playing a game of checkers. Every move impacting the game. One wrong move could set me back and cost me the game. Though this game was played only for fun, it got me thinking. Life is a series of choices and we must make them wisely. For indeed they can affect our…

My dog has not wanted to leave my side since I’ve been sick. Although I haven’t been able to give her a lot of attention due to this, she just loves being near me. Just comforting me with her presence and following me around as to ensure my safety. She’s so sweet and I’m grateful…
