Getting To Church on Time a neat story of God helping my husband make it to the prison church service.

He has felt often like giving up lately. He says that he is not sure that prayer works.
He said that every time he starts reading the Bible and praying again, something happens to discourage him.
I have been so blessed to hear him share things with me from the book I previously mentioned.
I know that God […]

I participated in a Cozy Sisters Swap last fall.
I failed to remember my anonymity when I signed up! Oops!
Saralyn was a good sport though. She patiently waited until my friend brought her package to me.
I got it long after she sent it but that’s not her fault.
I set the box aside when I opened it […]

 
Barbara at Stray Thoughts sent me this lovely award.
She said, “I admire her honesty and the evidence of grace and God’s strength as she deals with being a temporary single mom while her husband is incarcerated. The lessons of faith her family has been learning have been a joy to witness”
Thank you for your encouragement. […]

My sister sent this book to Lee for Christmas. He was telling me about it and I said, “Hey! I found that at the thrift store the other day for .25.”

The air was full of the sounds of people in a festive mood. Lots of loud talking, laughter, and smiles.
There was a Santa […]

James and I had a wonderful Christmas. We spent the whole day in our jammies! We rarely do that so it was a special comfortable treat.
For some reason this Christmas, the gifts under the tree were a huge pile. We celebrate Christmas simply on purpose. We limit the gifts and choose them carefully.
I […]

It’s not easy!
 
Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely word,
until they have something to forgive.
C. S. Lewis 
 
We talk a good forgiveness line as long as somebody else needs to do it, but few of us have the heart for it while we are dangling from one end of a bond
broken by somebody else’s cruelty.
