I remember picking up the magazine and leafing through it. When I saw them, I knew my daughter would love them and I knew what I wanted to put on her Christmas list. She wasn’t even three years old yet, but I knew. Fisher-Price Little People. I remembered playing with the little house and barn […]
The Heroes Close To Us {Five Minute Friday}
Linking up with Lisa-Jo for Five Minute Friday…. He does the hard stuff. He does the heavy stuff. He does so many things I wouldn’t want to do. And things I’m glad I don’t have to do. He knows how to weld and work on machinery and fix things. He sees things from angles I […]
Of Trees and Climbing and God {Five-Minute Friday}
We live in a land of wheat and sand and dirt roads and wind and cedar tree rows. Of cottonwood trees along the creek and hedge and chinese elm. The trees here are different than a lot of the trees in the east where I grew up. One thing is the same as I watch […]
Truth Reigns! {Five Minute Friday}
John 14:15-17 “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will […]
Together {Five-Minute Friday}
I hop over to Lisa-Jo’s blog to see what the writing prompt for Five-Minute Friday is. TOGETHER. When we’re together. Those are the first words to pop into my mind. I’m thinking, thinking, what song? what song? Thanks to internet and search engines, my fingers quickly type in the words and look it up and […]
Laundry {Five Minute Friday}
Just the word can evoke a groan. But why? Burying my nose in clean laundry and breathing deeply. And the cozy softness when it’s fresh from the dryer. Or the outdoorsiness of laundry dried on the clothesline. Clean clothes are a gift. Owning clothes is a gift. Using a washing machine instead of a scrub […]
Ordinary {Five Minute Friday}
Linking up with Lisa-Jo for Five-Minute Friday If someone asked me to describe my life in one word, I suppose there’s a chance I might say ordinary. I’ve said before here on my blog that we just do a lot of ordinary living. Yet, there are so many things I embrace about ordinary. So many […]
Write {Five Minute Friday}
I’m not a writer, persay, but I write. Here on this blog, over the last couple of years, I’ve posted pictures and journaled and talked about random details and mused about life and rejoiced in simple everyday things. My mumble-jumble of words strung together to voice feelings, emotions, beliefs. Simple writings. Bits and pieces here […]
True {Five Minute Friday}
People want true. People desire true. True happiness. Someone they can trust. True fulfillment. Peace and freedom. People search for true. We get tricked into believing false is true and more is happiness and our desires attained is fulfillment. “True” can become obscure, hidden by all the brush and bramble that’s blown our way. People […]
She {Five Minute Friday}
She tells me about the book she’s reading and her eyes sparkle and she laughs at one of the funny antics of the character. She tells me about the kinship she formed with Pat when she read that Pat always hated her new clothes fiercely for a few weeks and then turned around and loved […]
