Because Chocolate Bunnies Are Important
In my girlhood days, I liked to read and as I read, I was always intrigued with traditions and special moments that families would hold dear. Eating apples and popcorn by the fire. Coming in from sledding and drinking hot cider. Wading through snow to cut down a Christmas tree and dragging it home and […]
Oh Glorious Day! Blessed Easter!
Wonderful words. Wonderful song. Hallelujah! Jesus is alive! I need Him so much. I rejoice that He gave His life for me. He shed His blood for me. Time and time again, I need this grace, this gift, so freely given. I’m redeemed, yet I fail. Where would I be without the empty tomb and […]
Oh, the Weather Outside Was Frightful…
Oh the weather outside was snowy and frightful… {not to mention cold} To the young and brave at heart it sounded delightful…. {but not to those who are old} So mittens and coats and boots and some scarves, Socks and layers to go out in the yard… Bundling and layering and a cry of, “I’m […]
Quotes and Inspiration
Happy New Year! I’ve compiled a little list of quotes and inspiration I like. I’m not sure where many of them even originate from. They aren’t original with me; they simply inspire me. Some come from Pinterest boards. Some do have a name attached to them. They all inspire or bring a chuckle! 1. […]
Mary’s Ponderings and Praise
She held her newborn baby And she gazed upon His face, His little nose, His tiny ears, His cheeks her fingers traced, His thatch of hair, His baby hands, She snugged him up so tight, And noticed how the stardust, Shone around Him, ah, so bright! She wondered at the miracle, This miracle of birth, The […]

Thankful Thursday 3
The God of harvest praise, With loud thanksgiving raise, Hand, hearts, and voice, The valleys laugh and sing, Forests and mountains ring, The plains their tribute bring, The streams rejoice. This song comes to mind every time we are in the fields harvesting the grains and crop. It’s so beautiful and it captures the […]

Blessed Easter-Jesus our Salvation!
Matthew 27:50-51 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up His spirit. At that moment, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. Mark 15:37-38 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed His last. The curtain of […]
