A good friend dropped by yesterday with an early Christmas gift for our family. It just seems the Lord sends the most unexpected, wonderful blessings– and at the most perfect times. FRESH lemons picked from a family tree!! (In case you are wondering, it was Y U M M Y!!!!) She also included little things like peppermint bark, whole tea,…

Beach Trip
So many of you have been praying for me, praying for my family, knowing the loss we have suffered this year. March brought the news that Mama only had 1-3 years. We hoped for some miracle. We hoped there would be some other news, but each visit only brought more knowledge of the growing cancer in her body. I know…
Jacob’s Birthday, Post 1
Jacob asks Paul and I to come and visit him at work when we are out during the week. As his birthday arrived, we thought it would be a good idea to take the whole family for lunch. We didn’t tell anyone but Courtney and Joshua what we were planning. The younger children all assumed we were dressing them for…
Home Improvement- We Begin Again
It seems our home is changing daily. I am elated to see progress and pray the Lord will continue to guide our steps as we plan for what will come next. These are some quick pictures from this morning. Everyone is smiling and ready to start the day! Our home improvement project today will mostly focus on the deck paint.…
Good Morning!
Everyone gathered for a few moments this morning:
Many Hands
“Many hands make the work light”, right? I don’t think I have ever been so grateful for all these folks, as I am this week. We’re trying to beat the cold and wet weather coming to Alabama soon. Today, it’s a comfortable day to be working outside. I think the next few days are supposed to bring rain and colder…
Watching from Above
Amazing, with all the paint, noise and traffic in our basement this weekend, this little guy decided to hang out and watch for just a bit.
From Our Yard
Those evenings when I just want to sit and linger….. Those evenings when I want to soak in all the Lord has given… how rich my life is…. how my heart is so full, and *so thankful*… This is one of those evenings. I wanted to just stay and not miss a minute. The fall sunsets are so very beautiful.…
September 26, 2013– Zoo Trip
This year, we’re using Answers in Genesis science. We’ve been starting with the study of animals. It’s been a fun curriculum…and probably a much-needed change for me. Since we’re working on animals, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for a zoo visit. The weather was perfect…we had such a great day!
Walking Stick
Ben is always bringing me little critters from the yard. He loves to watch them and learn how they live. This week’s insect is a walking stick. He watched it for such a long time. He loved feeling how it’s feet are sticky…no wonder it could walk up the side of our home!
coming home
When I see pictures of my home, it evokes an emotional response in my heart. As we approach our little stretch of this road, my body wants to leap forward to our drive. When we pull into our place, I often stop and silently thank the Lord for His many, abundant blessings. He is good. I am one very blessed…
georgia aquarium
My visits out with Paul always have some adventure. This week, we visited the Georgia Aquarium. It was AMAZING.
