This isn’t the post I had planned on posting yesterday. But I hadn’t planned on yesterday ending the way it did. My oldest had a relationship with her cat, Lila, like I’ve never seen. I’m not much of an animal lover, yet it brought me such joy to watch my girl go outside and call, …
I’ve been praying for an unborn baby for months now. Saturday night, he was finally born. He died an hour later. What can I say? What can I do? I’m past all the usual questions…I quit needing answers to those several years ago, I think. I don’t need to know why God lets things like …
Last Saturday, I was working out in the yard, digging up some grass for a new plant bed. I’m also starting a strawberry patch, and I got a whole pile of compost dirt for it. But that compost has no worms. It’s rich as can be, but the heat that breaks down the manure also …
I didn’t post my Multitude Monday post yesterday, even though I meant to. Even though I have more gifts to add to my list. And that’s not all I haven’t done. Remember that blog post I shared two months ago called “In the stillness?” The one that also included the bits about getting-lost-while-moving-forward? Yeah…I’ve done …
I just realized that this is post number 101! I guess I’ve been blogging here for…let’s see…four years now. Wow. And I wasn’t sure how much I’d do with this. It was sort of an experiment. Experiment successful. (I think.) Today’s Multitude Monday doesn’t quite pack the punch of last week’s two revelations, and yet …
I, like many women, am a romance lover. I’m extremely picky about the romance stories I read, for I want them to portray the awesome beauty of how God intended the love between a man and a woman to be…but when I find those that meet my stringent criteria, how I love them! One of …
I’m doing Multitude Monday…on Tuesday…because I spent the last three days on an amazing weekend getaway with my wonderful husband and I didn’t have Internet in the car yesterday. Consequently, yesterday’s today’s list is going to not only going to include the wonderful gifts of God, it’s also going to show the adventuresome side of …
I don’t have anything remarkable or profound for today’s Multitude Monday… just a selection of some of the gifts that I’m finding as I progress toward 1000. Feel free to join me and the many others in the gift discovery.158. Each fence post that makes it into the ground 159. Grass that needs to be …
As most of you know, Monday is the day when I (and many others) pause our lives to stop and be thankful for the many gifts God has given us. Our goal is to reach 1000 gifts, and see what we discover–about ourselves and God–along the way. Yesterday, of course, was Easter–or Resurrection Sunday as …
Just jotting down some more of the endless gifts from the last week. 130. The word He gave me yesterday…for me! And the lesson it taught me. 131. Six-o’clock on the morning132. Seventy degrees 133. Family gathered together over Easter 134. So many nieces and nephews 135. Daffodils 136. My hyacinths coming up 137. Eighty …
