Last year for Christmas, my son and daughter in law to be gave me a beautiful dish, hand-crafted in Mexico. It matches nothing, but that makes it go with everything. I enjoy its colourful glossy patina so much, that I made it my butter dish. Enter the dog. After doing my best to love and…
Joshua 1:13-15 …The LORD your God is giving you rest and and has granted you this land…You are to help your brothers until the LORD gives hem rest, as He has done for you and until they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them… after that, you…
I’m now a couple of days past the drama of creating the hat, and the more often I look at it, the more I appreciate it and the reminders (rebukes & encouragements) it provides. Not only is the hat an inspiration to spend time with my Lord, but it also admonishes me to keep the…
I don’t know about you, but as a homemaker, there are times when I feel as though I’m really not accomplishing much. There is always more laundry to wash, more meals to make, more homeschooling to do, more discipline, more dusting, more organizing, more picking up – you get the idea. Some days, I have…

Today, I opened up my Facebook and the first thing I saw was a post listing my memories from years gone by. Facebook is full of “stuff” and often, I just delete it and keep going. This morning, I decided to take a stroll down memory lane. My memories for today? Time with friends, a…
This winter has been a season of snow, ice and darkness – not only outside of our house but also inside my heart. I say that with my head hung, because I have enjoyed the light and warmth of having a walk with the Lord that sustains me and fills me with the proverbial fire…
Earlier today, I had an amazing conversation with some Christian friends about judgement. This can be a hot topic and many are reluctant to discuss it because of the political correctness of our society. Many are afraid to offend or be accused of being harsh or unloving. Judgement isn’t a popular conversation because it means…
Five years ago, next month, our family moved into our first house. Always having had to rent, we were so excited to own our own home. We spent hours cleaning, organising, painting, planting and making it a reflection of us. As any homeowner knows, houses are a lot of work. There is always another project….
