Leslie is memorizing her final poem for the year. It has been very appropriate for these rainy, dreary days we’ve had lately. It’s called “Rain in Summer” by Longfellow. When you’re smack dab in the middle of a major drought, this poem holds a special meaning. I don’t usually photograph rain, but I did today. …
My daughter, Leslie, is committing this poem to memory in her fourth grade school work. I just love it, and I wanted to pass it along. Whether you’re familiar with it or not, I hope you enjoy it. Little By Little Anonymous “Little by little,” an acorn said, As it slowly sank in its …
I’m sitting in the living room next to Matthew on this lovely spring evening and thinking…probably too much! (Didn’t know that was possible with me didja? 😉 )Anyway, I thought I’d put my few meandering thoughts here. It’s supposed to be written in stanzas of two lines (couplet), but my blog doesn’t want to recognize …
October’s Party by George Cooper October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came- The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, And leaves of every name. The Sunshine spread a carpet, And everything was grand, Miss Weather led the dancing, Professor Wind the band. The Chestnuts came in yellow, The Oaks in crimson dressed; The lovely Misses …

I often read a devotional that we get at church called The Baptist Bread. I have been encouraged and challenged by it and I highly recommend it. It is only delivered to churches, though, so you’ll need to ask your pastor to order it. The information is HERE. I also receive a daily e-mail devotional …
In 2012, I’m writing a little poem for each of my children. Here are a few words about my baby (who’s not a baby anymore! *sniff sniff*). Thanks for reading. 🙂 My sweet Matthew Ron, Where has the time gone? None can refute That your smile is too cute! You run around all day, You …
Leslie Anne, what shall I say? You brighten each and every day! Your tender smile, your gentle way Is a comfort to me, come what may. Your lady-like spirit, quiet and meek, You most of all do quietly speak. You’ve loved to read and learn and grow, Our Savior you do want to know. I …
I have so much to share, and yet, so little time these days! God has been lovingly guiding me and helping me in a very special way the past few weeks. I’ve endured more heartache, but somehow I’m managing things better! In fact, the trial no longer feels like a “valley”. Instead, it feels like …
