Ephesians 3:17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of …
It seems to me that meekness is the hardest fruit of the Spirit to bring forth. When others falsely accuse you and gossip about your hard earned testimony, our human nature desperately longs to “right the wrongs.” However, the false accusations by our enemies are, in reality, a gift. Jesus said in Matt.5:11, Blessed are ye, …
This year, I tried two new recipes for our Christmas meal. I got them from my Aunt Linda, who made both of these dishes for our Thanksgiving meal. These will serve a crowd easily – so they are perfect for feeding church family at potlucks – but I wanted to make them for my family, …
I entered the world on March 25, 19– What? Did you really think I’d tell you the year? 🙂 Four people were eagerly awaiting my arrival. They were my mother (of course), my dad, my brother (waiting rather calmly) and my sister (not waiting calmly at all). Melanie, my sister, had been praying for a …
Each year at Christmas time, I try to make a small gift to give the people in our church. This year, I made homemade hot cocoa! This recipe is delicious. It tastes like warm pudding! I wanted to pass along the idea to you. It’s an easy thing to make in large quantities or just …
When I was little, my mom would say this little poem while she helped me dry off after my bath. I loved it then, and I still love it today. I know she read it in a book at some point, but I have no idea which one, so I am unable to give credit. …
I awoke today thinking about Christmases past. I have so many wonderful memories of Christmas at my home. I’d like to take you to my there for a bit…don’t worry, you’ll be home in time for supper. 🙂 This house, my home place, wasn’t always this dark or cold on Christamas Day. This kitchen/dining room …
While recently considering the Christmas story from Luke 2, I began to put myself in the place of Mary. What would it have been like to be the mother of the Savior of the world? Of course, I’ll never know, but it was fun to think about it. I thought I’d share my musings here. …
Here’s a look at Laci during the past four years. We were so thrilled to find out on my birthday in 2006 that I was expecting our fourth child. I was very surprised and scared since I still had a “baby” – a nine month old at the time! God knows best, and I’m ashamed …
I am just now getting some pics posted of our Thanksgiving week. We were able to take the whole week off of school and spend three days in Benton visiting my family there. My brother from Florida was there for a week with his family, my sister came in from North Carolina, and my Mom …
