Gifts That Keep On Giving and Summer Blessing 2017 Giveaway
One of the best things about gifts? They keep on giving. When I see the pillow from my sister, I think of her. When I drink out of the coffee mug Abbi gave me, I think of her. The gifts from friends and family bless me again and again. Often, I whisper a prayer for […]
Labels and Names
The world will label you all your life. Tall, short, smart, bossy, ugly, pretty, worth it, and not. But here is the only label that truly matters: “Now this is what the Lord says – the one who created you, Jacob, the one who formed you, Israel – Do not fear, for I have redeemed […]
An IDEA Gardener
Late winter, I proclaim a bit vehemently to my farmer husband man, that “I am not going to have a garden this year.” It takes time and work and thought and watering and wheat harvest is busy enough without added extras and I think it’s something I will CROSS OFF for this year. Winter […]

Pages and Projects {Church of the Small Things}
My daughter was stretched out on the living room floor gazing under the couch and she started laughing! “What’s The Kindness Challenge doing shoved under the couch?” she queried. My book had apparently fallen on the floor at some point and been bumped under the couch. It struck me funny and I joined her in […]
Ten Current Gift Idea Favorites
It’s fun to give gifts and equally as fun to have unique ideas or to gift someone with something you know they will love OR something you’ve loved and want to pass on the love! {Hmm. Quite a sentence, there.} Now, I’m aware that just because I love something doesn’t automatically mean everyone else will […]

In Our Wardrobe {No. 55}
Wardrobe time again! These pictures were snapped back in May. I definitely wouldn’t be wearing a lightweight sweater today, even though it IS lightweight. Our humidity is fierce today.
