The Day the Lord Visited Me…

I was led to write this post after I read another blog this morning (http://www.incourage.me/2013/03/beyond-locked-doors-jesus-where-i-can-hide.html?utm_source=%28in%29courage+Email+Subscribers&utm_campaign=de28761e55-INCOURAGE-RSS-EMAIL-CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email)

…it truly is the story of when Jesus came to me in my time of need.

You may appreciate it or you may think I’m crazy, but I feel in my heart it is the time to share it. Do I have apprehension? Most definitely. But through my tears of fear, I feel it in my heart…this is my purpose at this moment. Read more

Crazy is as Crazy does…

Thank you Forest Gump…

Does anyone else have days when all you want is boring?

You’d think I would have had enough of those this winter as I was laid up. However it seemed there was always something going on with a family members health, or a kids thing, or a husbands thing, or a doctors appt…or a…or a… Read more

Shine On, Grandma, Shine On!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words…

Let’s see just how true that is…

Oh the stories behind this picture…

I found them at the dump, with the cords cut off, and quickly snapped them up – putting them in our truck. As I write this, I laugh, thinking about the look on my husbands face. Read more

Where Oh Where Did Our Silverware Go?

Odd topic for a blog?

Definitely…

But if you have children…who are or have been teenagers, you’ll understand.

Tim and I laughed tonight as we looked at our silverware drawer.

We’ve talked for a while now about how we’d really like to buy a new set of silverware…one that all matches, however it’s pretty low on the “want” list…with quite a few “needs” ahead of it!

Anyway, back to the silverware story… Read more

Give a little whistle, Whoo-e-oo!

Things I have learned…

To trust my heart…About 3 months ago a friend of mine brought me her grandfather’s coat and asked if it would sell in our shop…I looked at it and fell in love, feeling that somehow it reminded me of my Dad. When I did my walk down memory lane a few days ago, I found a picture of my brother and I hugging my Dad when he got home from work…and he was wearing the exact same coat. (Well he had the same type of coat, not the exact same coat…just to clarify!) I never had brought the coat to the store…I couldn’t seem to part with it and now I know why. It’ll be in my possession from now on…I’ve even worn it a few times…what a fun memory to have. Read more
