Grown in Faith

Time, but fleeting sand, in the hourglass of life. A new day on the calendar, then a new month turns over and then suddenly, it is the start of a new calendar year. I look at photographs of my children from just a couple years ago. My oldest is turning from a young boy, to…

We went to my husband’s friend’s funeral today. He passed away fairly young. I sat some rows behind his mother and as a mother my heart ached for her. However, she wore her love like a badge. A memory for the world to see that the love will still exist; even after that’s all that…

I can say, however, having that relationship with God is what gets us through those attacks.  For instance, the other day, was tough. Every…

I think yesterday was on fast forward, it sure felt that way. I got up in the morning and had appointments that made my day seem to pass by swiftly. Life is like that sometimes; it goes by so fast that before we know it; it’s a new day, a new month, a new year.…

I got out an old box of recipes to share with my cousin, that once belonged to our grandma. Our grandma was a wonderful cook and baker!
