Perspective is an incredibly persuasive thing. In my house, we say, “That depends on if you are pitching or catching.” I remember the day I took this picture. It seems like yesterday. Only it wasn’t yesterday, my wide-eyed, precious little boy who gazed with wonder and amazement is 16 years old. He now sees the […]
“I Do It Myself”
“I do it myself!” These words ring in my mind as my little girl rides off on her bike. No, she hasn’t said it like that recently. I remember when she was little, and she wanted to do it herself. She would tell me firmly, “I do it myself.” Then if it didn’t work out […]
Be A Butterfly
Mary Ellen brought home this beautiful picture today. I asked her who colored it. She answered indignantly, “I did. Why?” I responded, “I love it!” Sometimes on the bus they color pictures for each other. So my question was totally within reason. When I saw the picture, I loved the colors, the technique, the feel, […]
Remembrance…
This morning this memory from “8 Years Ago” popped up on my Facebook feed. I am grateful that this small post was made. Honestly, I don’t remember making it. It made my heart smile. Funny how the small things make a big difference in our daily lives. In contrast, “Remembrance” is a big word. Almost too […]
Rock, Paper, Scissors…
Last Spring I substituted in my 5 year olds Sunday School class. It was an “on the fly” lesson because I realized a teacher was needed when I got to church. I didn’t mind. The possibilities are endless. I love the children. No problem… I can’t remember the memory verse, but we were doing […]
In His Time…
Charles loves to fish. It is evident from this gaping smile. One Christmas we gave my dad, Charles, one of his cousins, & Mark a guided fishing trip for Christmas. Please notice the waves in the background. Mark gets crazy motion sick. Dizzy, nauseous, head aches, not a pretty picture. No doubt, Mark was green & begging […]
When He Taps
“She herself would often suggest that the capacity to radiate God’s love was dependent first on a personal interior contact with the fire of God’s love.” –Kathryn Spink, Mother Teresa An Authorized Biography When He taps, where is my heart? Is it focused in His desire for me or is it focused on my own […]
Road Conditions
We had a snow with terrible cold on Thursday night. Friday morning the roads didn’t look that bad. Not a huge snow & the wind hadn’t caused drifting. I started into town behind the bus. I decided to go on the state highway. I thought it would be clearer than the county road. The state […]
Getting Comfortable
Getting comfortable takes time. I have a 5 year old daughter. If she is not comfortable, she acts shy. She clings to my leg. She doesn’t speak. She hides her face…When she gets comfortable, “Katy Bar the Door!” She can get wild & wooly. Hopefully, as you read, you are beginning to know me. Maybe you are getting […]
