Welcome to my blog. I write about life as a Christian wife, mother of eight children, and grandmother.
Enjoy.
"It's only in expressing gratitude for the life we already have that we discover the life we've always wanted...." I love that! I want to live like that - expressing gratitude for the life I have. (Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts. Can't wait for this book to be released in January!)
I walked into church smelling like Bath and Body. I made my way to the third row on the left. My family moaned, "Can't we sit somewhere else?"
It's soup weather! I've been pulling together menu plans for October and am so excited for soups. The boys and I just ate the leftovers of Friday night's White Chicken Chili - one of my favorites.
This morning when I reached for my bible, I realized I had left it at my daughter's home when I visited her last weekend. My back up bible is an old one with most of Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians falling out. It had been my mother-in-law's. Her favorite books are not only obvious due to the wear, but also her excessive underlining and notes in the margin.
Years ago on a frosty winter night I found myself at a table for four in a the cozy little house that had been converted to a restaurant. My date had arranged the evening so I could meet his best friend, Andi. What I didn't know prior to sitting at the table was that Andi was female, and she was married to Dave.
I've had the privilege over the years to get to know some delightful young women and watch them transition through various stages. My guest blogger today, Jessica A. is one of those special ladies. Her love of the Lord has always been an encouragement to me and I trust she will encourage you as you consider how you spend your free time each day.
