The Sweet Secret to Hospitality

09/07/2012

If you are visiting me today because you read the Encouragement for Today devotion, welcome! If you haven't read the devotion and want to here it is http://www.proverbs31.org/devotions/midst-dirty-dishes-2012-09/ I’ve always had a hard time being perfect like other people—I guess it just wasn’t my calling. So, when I visited the missionary mentioned in the devotio[...]

Our Last Chick Flew the Coop

08/20/2012

Our last baby chick flew the coop this past weekend. Dale and I haven't been without one of our girls at home for more than 2 days in almost 30 years. We always wanted them with us. We never took a trip without them. Even if we went out to eat, we went together. We were one. I loved making hot breakfasts, talking in the kitchen, and tucking them in at the end o[...]

Labor, Delivery and The Travel Trailer – Ellie’s Birthday

08/11/2012

It was still dark outside, and intense labor pains had started. I didn’t have anywhere to escape to enjoy my pain alone. Our family was still sleeping in a small travel trailer. There was only one full size bed, and Rachael (4 years old) was sleeping between Dale and me. Hannah (age 6) was sleeping in the shower stall. Jennifer (10) was on the seat bench at the [...]

We Know That In All Things God Works for the Good of Those Who Love Him

07/04/2012

On July 4th, eleven years ago today, our daughter Hannah was diagnosed with rheumatic fever. It all started when we were on our beach vacation. On the second night, Hannah started to run a fever of 104.5 degrees. We prayed for her then gave her ibuprofen and acetaminophen--back to back. The fever wouldn't budge. It was staying high throughout the ni[...]

Diet Cured My Daughter’s ADHD

06/22/2012

Jennifer, our second daughter, had so many wiggles when she was a little girl. She couldn’t sit down at the dinner table or in her seat at school. She had more energy than 5 kids combined. The school diagnosed her as ADHD (Attention Deficient Hyperactive Disorder). Her emotions all functioned at the highest level. From the time she was born, she never took a nap[...]

A Mama Lioness

06/18/2012

Our youngest daughter Ellie recently called me a “Mama Lion.” Instinctively, I wanted to roar loudly claiming the title! A mama lioness will do anything to protect her cubs! She is bold, courageous and valiant on behalf of her cubs. I’m sure the reason she said it was because of what we recently required from a young man who had come to our house t[...]

Seedlings, Fertile Soil, and the Harvest

05/10/2012

The temperature, humidity, and sunshine in the house were just right for growth to start. Now the sprouts stand to attention, just waiting for rich soil to burrow their roots into for the growing season. Cultivating a garden is hard work, but I love seeing a seed sprout into a full blown plant and then become a produce machine. There’s nothing like bringing i[...]

How Will We Be Remembered?

04/29/2012

Memory keeps volumes stored in hidden vaults, just waiting for something to jar its door and all the contents resuscitated. It’s pretty entertaining hearing your grown children, gathered around the table, telling their favorite childhood memories. I’ve forgotten a lot of things that they remember, and boy, they sure remember it all. It seems as though they can rec[...]
