I wanted to share a little gift idea that I made for my mother this past Christmas. Many people have seen the calendars you can have printed at Walmart or Walgreens, which have photos of your family on them. I put a little twist on this idea by staging photos to match the month. My …
It’s hard to believe that it’s already Christmas again! It’s been a very busy and exciting year. The Lord has brought us through some trials and granted us a multitude of blessings, many of which I have written about here. Thank you for sharing them with me, for reading and for commenting. Merry Christmas from …
I hope you and your family are enjoying this festive season. Here’s a Christmas treat for our friends and family far away. In case you couldn’t understand him very well, he was quoting a poem for Christmas called “What Can I Give Him?” by Christina Rossetti. Here are the words: What can I give Him, …
Wow. What a week! We began last Monday with a funeral of a dear lady in our church. God gave her 97 years to live and love and serve. My husband preached a wonderful Gospel message. On Tuesday, I began feeling ill. I soon realized I needed to see a doctor. We had planned to …

I feel like I’ve been sharing bits and pieces of my life with you and somehow got stopped mid-story. Where was I in all of my catching-up? I *think* I was about to share a few photos of my mom’s visit with us at…ahem…Christmas. Yes, (gulp) I know I’m behind. In my defense, life has …
I’m *finally* getting up a few photos of our first Christmas in Oklahoma. It was a bit of an adjustment this year, trying to figure out where to put the tree and decorations and how to arrange things so our family from afar could be comfortable. I think everything came together just fine. It was …
Leslie, 8; Lauren, 14; Matthew, 3; Mitchell, 11; Laci, 7 Me and the man – age undisclosed. 😉 Merry Christmas from our home to yours!
