The Advent season is truly my favorite time of the year. My soul is fed in so many ways this time of year. I wish we could bottle the spirit that this season holds. It is almost like walking in the gates of Disney…. magical. Magical in the sense that people are kinder and more thoughtful. Especially if you are not prone to being swept [...]

It is almost like walking in the gates of Disney…. magical. Magical in the sense that people are kinder and more thoughtful. Especially if you are not prone to being swept [...]

My Attempt to make Our Christmas Seas...
Fortunately I am not trying to win the Lottery or taking our life savings to Vegas to try to double it. I mean truly richer, deeper. Filled with memories. Not just our memories, the ones we are creating with our family, but the memories left to us by our eternal family. Digging deeper into what Christmas really means.
At a time in our nati [...]
Oh What Fun…..
While we check-in we lap up everything that we can; in hindsight maybe more than we should have – tee hee! As we savored warm, home made sticky buns we signed up for a volleyball tournament, horse shoe tournament and a caricature portrait to start. What we didn’t know when we signed up was that they would all be starting about [...]

Random Thoughts of Reality

However, in the past couple of years I have learned that many blessing do and can come from the darkest times of our lives. That realization in itself was a huge blessing to me and I hold [...]
A Link to Heaven
This past memorial day weekend marks 11 years that we lost our first peanut in a very traumatic event. It is still a vividly painful memory, but clearly one of those times that God works His good in times of pain and suffering.
Even though our baby was only 8 weeks when the tube ruptured and stole ‘her’ life and left me clinging [...]

Hebrews 4:12
Meditating on this verse, really says a lot to me today.
“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing into the division of my soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
That is truly powerful. Especially as I am working through the [...]
A Special Treat For The Girls
Today was a very special day for me; I was able to treat Mom to a day at the Salon. My precious hairdresser got Gillian, Mom and I in for some pampering at the last minute. The setting was tranquil and calming. Shawna has a lovely waterfall and pond just outside from where we were getting our hair done, you could see not only us shedding [...]
