While the early morning quiet still hung in the air. The phone rang. Love on the line from Haiti. A quick hello and good bye. While the news blares Presidential Candidate updates and tolerance and intolerance are debated. A group is in Haiti. Sharing, loving, building, sweating in the name of Jesus. The noon time heat is intense. So they chose to get to work early. They headed to the boys home to build a Safe-T home. Temporary shelter for a people longing for a home. New beginnings; glimmers ...

What? November is Over Already? Day # 30 of Thankfulness
We were off the farm for a little over 24 hours. Attending a baptism. Being with family. Trying to embrace this new change. Pushing through the loss and grief and all we have known. We have been blessed. It's so hard because it was so good. Not perfect. At all. But good. And the memories made; a treasure. We want that for our kids. Memories. Laughter. Family. Grace. This last day of November is the 30th day of Thankfulness. My how this month has flown by. Each day ... View Post
A little Late But So Grateful Day # 20 of Thankfulness
I'm weary. 500 plus miles in a little over 24 hours. A baptism. Family time. Photo shoots. All time, marching on. I'm powerless to stop it. Living needs to continue. Change. Hard. Inevitable.

But I need to press on. 30 Days of Thankfulness~ I am thankful for: Moments with my dad new life the waters of ... View Post
How Gratitude Changes Us Day #28 of Thankfulness
I have chosen, with God's help, to walk a journey of Thankfulness this month. It is a practice that is cultivated. It requires digging deep and reflection. Finding things to be thankful for is not always easy. There are things to gripe and complain about. Rights violated, feelings hurt, fairness not applied. This is what makes the world turn. Injustices. Anger. Greed. Getting ahead. At all cost. Glamour and prestige. The spotlight. Yet isn't that what Jesus fought the whole time he was here on ... View Post
He Knows our Name Day #27 of Thankfulness
Looking back is a practice I need. I journal to remind myself. I read God's word for the reminders of hope and promises. Looking back is a gift. Sometimes hard and painful Often uplifting. Reminding us of the faithfulness set before us. 2 Peter 1:12 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. Many things are still true this day. We are grateful for so much. We will get our tree. We will step into the Advent season with great expectation. The ... View Post
