in the midst

In the middle of everything {I’ll just let that word cover all from minor to major stuff}, I try to always be aware of the everyday, the common things to be grateful for.  Instead of listing out my own gifts today, I encourage the community of readers here to consider starting their own gratitude list. ...

right now

Oh, life is full right now!  Full of goodness, full of randomness (is that a word?) and a tinge of heaviness, though overall much is good.  Ever have a season like that?  I have found that when the pendulum swings a little too far off and I feel a bit out of balance or the...

    morning basket

    Children scurry, moving quickly through morning responsibilities :: brush teeth, get dressed, make beds and such. We all prepare our bodies, minds, and yes our hearts for the event ahead.

      great ideas, thank you daniele. i would love to do something similar to that some day with the kids. For now i spend our devotions just praying that noone cries, hits each other, or runs off!!
      We also enjoy the Big Picture Bible. I learned a lot from it toO!ReplyCancel

    • […] reading front and center can be a bit tricky.  We’ve done times all together {see how we do our morning devotional time as a group – lots of resources!} and we also spend time one on one with certain children. […]ReplyCancel

      Love…Love…Love this!!! We do something similar with our personal devotion time. But, we will be starting to switch up our family Bible time with the start of the new school year. I will have to remember some of these. PINNED!ReplyCancel

      AMEN. I could certainly have used finding you yesterday. But today, is just as good if not better. The Lord does show us in his time what the path before is to be. Blessings.ReplyCancel

    birthday fullness

    Another revolution around the sun!–the phrase I enjoy teasing my children with on their birthdays. It’s my birthday today and I have such a sense of being full. Up to the brim and running over a bit. The kind that spills into the various crevices of life and makes you want to laugh and cry...
