Don’t Leave Home Without It!

May 30, 2013

Today, I was feeling a bit down.  There are certain areas of my life that I struggle with in finding the Lord and His peace.  I try not to ask the question “Why?” but it just slips out sometimes.  As I was praying through this, I heard “put on your garment of praise.” My mind […]

Operation Organization: Laundry System

April 18, 2013

When there were only 2 of us, laundry was easy.  Now that I have 2 girls, 2 businesses and a ministry, laundry seems to be never ending…and never finished. My BFF has 8 children and if the thought of 8 kids running around doesn’t make me appreciate her more, the thought of that much laundry […]

How Dare you Talk to Me Like That!

April 10, 2013

Remember the old saying, “it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it?” No matter how old it is, the truth and wisdom of this saying is still valuable today.  There is a difference in ‘rebuking’ someone, and ‘exhorting’ them – certainly in your tone, and in the words you choose as well. Rebuke: […]

Just Smile!!!

February 7, 2013

Remember when you were a little kid, were feeling a bit grumpy and someone would look at you and say “Don’t smile!”  They would keep repeating it until you couldn’t help yourself.  Try as you would, it was hard to resist.  First the little grin would break through and finally a huge smile.  Occasionally, a […]

The Quilt ~ A Patchwork of Memories

January 21, 2013

A quilt.  That word evokes a feeling in most people’s hearts and minds; some think of a warm cozy blanket that may have smelled slightly of grandma’s house with a hint of moth balls or perhaps you envision a fabulously colored piece of textile art hanging on the wall of a stylish building.  I think […]

Snuggle Time!

January 19, 2013

Often times, we get caught up in our tasks and don’t want to stop for any reason.  We want to check as many things as possible off of our “To-do” list.  We get so busy doing stuff that we forget about the real motivations behind what we are doing. My youngest daughter likes to snuggle, […]
