The day is beautiful. Picturesque. Warm. Colors spectacular. It is easy to step into Praise. To give thanks for all. But what about the hard times? Those days when you can hardly breathe. I really don't want to write about this. I don't want to be uncomfortable. How does the gratitude work when your son resides with the King of Kings? When you watched your mom struggle with every breath her last weeks on this earth. When your spouse is diagnosed with cancer. When the finances are so bad you can ... View Post
Being Thankful is a Choice Day #2 of Thankfulness
Worship. An act. A response. Each Sunday for almost 48 years. Part of my life. My being. Deep within. We sing; I surrender All. I think about those words. I have surrendered my son. Not willingly.

His journey to the cross. My journey to glory. I will myself to begin the ... View Post
Fragmented to Repurposed
It's broken. This beautiful mug. It came in a package. From Germany. With love. A college room mate. A friend. Packed a box full of love. It made me laugh and cry. A hug from so far away. But one mug was broken. And it made me sad. Until. . . I held the fragments in my hands. Fragments. Fragmented. The way I feel. Most of the time. In pieces. Broken. Useless. Worthless. Spent. Fragmented. The pieces sat on the farm house ... View Post
The Farmette is Two!!!
The farmette is two today! Surprise text I received when Chelsea and my dear friend, who now resides with the King of Kings, came to visit. That was my house!! She surprised me with a visit! She turned one! And now she's two! Where does the time go? When I sent Chelsea the picture of the beautiful sunrise, this morning, which reminded me of Elijah's home going. . . She said, maybe he is saying Happy Birthday to Lilah. I think so. Happy 2nd Birthday Lilah ... View Post
