We have a new niece and cousin! We were so happy to hear about her safe arrival and to get to go squeeze her. It was a good thing to do on a Saturday morning. What a miracle the birth of a baby is. We oohed and awed over her soft skin and sweet little […]
Everyone Needs Compassion
The first line of a song kept floating through my mind. “Everyone needs compassion.” I couldn’t place the song and finally googled and you-tubed it. I found the title, “Mighty To Save”, sung by Hillsong and by Chris Tomlin at Passion. Then I remembered, we had sung it at a Women’s Ministries Bible group I have […]

A Few Things I’m Finding Delightful Today
We had a lovely rain yesterday. We could still use more rain, but we’re thankful for anything we get. It was gray and drizzly most of the day. It made for a cozy day. It was lovely to see the sunshine this morning and have wonderfully cool air. This is the kind of weather I […]

The Harvest
The harvest in Kansas, the harvest of wheat, Each year it is hectic and busy, but neat, The combines are rolling, dust in the air, Wheat heads are waving, golden and fair, My man’s in the combine, surveying his crop, Till the harvest is done, he won’t hardly stop, The truck and its driver patiently […]
Wheatscapes
It’s starting to look a lot like harvest…. And it’s only the 26th of May… There have been a few combines cutting in our county the last couple of days… Seems so funny. We are close to a month early! Harvest. It’s busy. It’s hectic. It’s hot. It’s dusty. Yet, there is something […]
I Am Ecstatic!
My kitchen is cleaned up and I am ecstatic. I really am. I didn’t feel very well last week and I didn’t do much. I didn’t feel well, so I really didn’t feel like doing anything and yet, I had a list of things I really was wanting to get done. And when I don’t feel well […]
Habakkuk 3:17-18
Habbukkuk 3:17-18 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in […]
The Heavens Declare The Glory Of God
One thing that I think Kansas is very good at, is the ability to produce quite a thunderstorm! We had one pass through the other evening. These pictures don’t do justice to God’s handiwork at all, but I still enjoyed taking a few. And we enjoyed standing on our new porch as we watched part […]
Sweet Violets
They come quietly. Unobtrusively. Popping up and greening up. Growing. Greeting me with surprise. Bringing forth newness and life. Doing what their Creator enabled them to do. Speaking spring. And cheerfulness. So beautiful. They make me smile. And rejoice. Aaah. Violets. Sweet Violets.

The God-Given Task
Ecclesiastes 3:9-15 What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has […]
Christ, Our Savior Is Born!

Questions for Mary
Mary, what did you think as you held your Son? The King, The Messiah, The Promised One, As you kissed His cheeks and counted His toes, The One who would save us from this world’s woes. How did He feel as you cuddled Him close? The One who would die, the One who […]
We Worship Him In A Manger..
We worship Him in a manger because we know we can worship Him as a 12 year old lad who astonished doctors and lawyers with His questions and answers. We worship Him in a manger because we know we can worship Him as a young minister who did and spake things as no other man […]
