One of the most amazing things in life is the miracle of birth…to hold a newborn baby. Holding my babies for the first time was inexplicable. Can you imagine holding baby Jesus in your arms? I can’t! We all say about our babies, "What an angel..." but Mary was saying..."What a Redeemer." She was… Continue reading What A Strange Way

I ended the first part of the blog with this sentence… “Unlike Madi on that day, we can never redeem ourselves… Continue reading Redeemed Part 2

Each ornament transported us to a distant time and place, a time when our children were little and our house was full. Tonight our house is way too big and way too empty. It's different for those… Continue reading Nostalgia

Oh Bless You
Photo credit: rachellynphotography.com Our grandchildren, Judeth, two, and Samuel, one, live in D.C. Bill and I go into baby withdrawl if we go more than 6 weeks without seeing these little bugs. That really is heart wrenching for me. Those little two babies are embedded into my DNA! We were face-timing earlier. While we were… Continue reading Oh Bless You

It’s Not Fair!
“Do not expect to be treated fairly in this life.” This is how one of my devotions began today. When I hear the phrase “That’s not fair,” I immediately picture an elementary school playground and a teacher who drew the short stick with playground duty. My mom was an elementary school teacher. I can remember… Continue reading It’s Not Fair!
