Psalm 17:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. photo courtesy of Mallory Burritt Psalm 118:28-29 You are my God, and I will praise you; you are my God, and I will exalt you. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His love endures forever. So often, those who have gone before us, have given praise to our God.

How To Make More TIme In A Day
I look into those beautiful blue eyes. His sons inherited them. One still growing, the other, his eyes closed for all of eternity. I turn away. Tears threaten to spill over. I hate to see him like this. It breaks my heart. I have no control. The outcome unknown. The toxic cocktails supposedl, targeting the cancer that threatens to consume his life. Yet the journey there, leaving him tired, and weak. Stepping each moment in faith and hope. Grace met us once again as one of the nurses prays with us. We are strengthened and encouraged. These glimpses ... View Post
No Matter The Hurt, Or Pain; See. . .He Is Doing A New Thing
I am restless. The pain searing today. The missing overpowering. The unknown of cancer lingering. Will the treatments work? How much more will they affect my farmers body? The future unknown and looming before me. My soul longs for relief. Relief from the constant pain, the constant longing for my son. Longing for family time all together. That which will never be. Sometimes I think my heart will shatter into a million pieces. Other times, I think it already has. This is all too much to bear. The weight is heavy and His burden ... View Post
How Climbing That Hill Is Always Better With Others
I went for a walk yesterday. It started out with my walking buddy. But God was writing my "To Do" list. So we gained two other people. It was glorious to be outside. The sun was shining, the air crisp; yet invigorating. (Not the, "I want to run back in the house feeling") I haven't walked since the fall. It's been too cold and icy. And dark. My walking partner and I are not hardy like that. We are fair weather walkers. Enough said in a state where the sun rarely shines. And it's dark. But we walk today. We get to the bottom of the hill and I am done. I get ready to ... View Post
I Don’t Have A Typical To Do List
This day. It is new. There is laundry and dirt. There is an abundance of clutter, paper work and dishes. There is financial stress, farming chores and broken equipment. There is still cancer and the searing pain of the loss of a child. Today marks 3 years for another family and the loss of their son. A Classmate of Elijah's. A name read at Graduation. The emotion so overwhelming we clapped and cried, remembering. For a long time. A life cut short by his own hand. I remember the feeling. . . how can you lose a child? How ... View Post
What Singing At The Top Of Your Lungs Can Do. . .My Girls Told Me So
He slept on the couch because the coughing is so bad. Yet he never complains. The radiation causing side effects that have no remedy. He is weak and so tired. Yet not once has he slept in. Not once has he been able to. The son the same way. He too rising each morning; never complaining. I struggle. There were plans set in place so he could rest. But it hasn't worked out that way. When things continue to spiral out of your control it makes you hold tighter; grasp with all your might. Clench everything that you can. As if ... View Post
