A new day is dawning. With gratitude I face this day. One of the older farm girls. One that has come back to the farm. A cousin. Is giving my farmer a break. And her side kick. Not that one. This one. She has brought a contagious joy with her. Even when she is feeling miserable. There is a lot happening in her life right now. And true to Davis style, she is digging in. Willing to step on a path uncharted. Sometimes I feel like God has abandoned me. Turned his back. The ache ... View Post
They’re Going. . . Again
26 days. There are 26 days until they leave. My farmer, farm boy and college girl are getting ready. Shots, paper work and prayer. Knees bent low as they trust for each piece of this journey. They're going because they desire to serve. The skills they use each day here on the farm yearning to be used for a people in need. Arms aching to hold those who long to be held. So, on the wings of prayer, they will go. To a people and land loved deeply. It is here the effects of chemo and radiation faded away as my ... 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
Blessings in Best Buy Day # 25 of Thankfulness
Each person has a story to tell. The fabric of their life woven together. Some of the stories we know. Others lie buried deep within. Sometimes our lives intersect. A chance meeting. Social Media. Strangers become friends. Blessings given. Aching hearts touched. An artist. Reached out. She touched two mama's hearts. Cousins; gone way too soon. She gave. Part of her story. Helping to bring warmth to our story. In Best Buy we meet. While I wait for phone's to be switched over. While my heart ... View Post
Will You Help, So They Can Go? Day #24 of Thankfulness
Missions. What do you think when you hear the word? Overseas? Foreign country? For the first 15 years of my life I attended a Methodist Church. Missional in its purpose. I remember filling barrels with clothing to send over seas. I remember the barrels. We prayed continually for other countries and the missionaries. Vacation Bible School was a challenge to raise funds to purchase chickens and milk for families in need. I remember holding tightly to the quarter in my hot sweaty hand. I remember the poster board chart. The ... View Post
Sunday Dinner Day # 16
They gathered around the farmhouse table. Sunday dinner. These young men. Telling tales. Laughing. Looking at some hard times with humor. They are finding their way. The farm boy is digging deep these days. A change. Wrestling with the demons that threaten to pull one under. He gathers here and laughs. A rich laugh which reminds me of one gone before him. But yet so different. This farm boy has a carefree nature. Throws caution to the wind. (not always a good ... View Post
