A “Christmas Morning” Sense of Wonder
I shouldn’t be surprised by how God works, but I am constantly in awe when he does. Sometimes I feel like a little child on Christmas morning, almost overwhelmed with his gifts, his blessings, his “showing up” through others during a time of need. This week has been one of those “Christmas Morning” kind of … Continue reading »
Belated Thank You to my Undercover Angels
I want to shout out a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the Angels Undercover baby blanket project. I was absolutely thrilled with each of the blankets you crocheted, knitted, and quilted. What special gifts of love ! The gifts were presented to the families on December 19th, just before a record breaking cold snap. … Continue reading »
Angels Undercover
I look back at the last post and can’t believe over two months have passed. First, I want to tell you how excited I am at the response to my last blog about making baby blankets for the infants and toddlers of families who live near me, who have so little.

Just call me stubborn, but it always takes me some time to get into the spirit of Christmas. It … Continue reading »

I’d planned to sit and watch Mia enjoy all the amazing twisty-turny tubular slides, toy airplanes hanging from the ceiling, and life-size climbing toys, but she wanted “Gramsey” to play too. Unable to … Continue reading »
Season’s of a Woman’s Life
The following is an excerpt from LETTERS FROM GOD FOR WOMEN, God’s Faithful Promises for You, Harvest House Publishers (a little book I wrote a few years ago). I treasure you every day. My precious one, Consider the seasons. Winter, with its new-fallen snow, covers the seeds of new life in its frozen depths. Spring, … Continue reading »
A Nap in the Spring Sunshine
This morning I walked my usual two miles in our 200 acre back yard. Also, as usual, I stopped to talk to the animals. Just call me Dr. Doolittle! I have my favorites. After the East African vultures hatched an egg last year then settled in to raise their chick, I talked to them about … Continue reading »
