The Little Enormous Things

Linny Saunders10 Comments

True confession: Telling Ruby stories are some of my favorite stories ever to tell. To think that some medical professionals really, truly thought that her  life would amount to sitting propped in a corner, unable to interact in  any way, no facial expressions, no progress of any kind…just sit. Seems pretty incredulous to the rest of us,…

Two Are Better Than One

“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.  For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone  when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together,  they keep warm, but how can one keep…

Our Place of Praise

Linny Saunders15 Comments

Today we come together, across miles, countries and continents to stand together in praise and worship. We worship Almighty God because all of His promises are true. We can stand firm. We can trust Him.   He is faithful. Always. Always. Always. Faithful. God always keeps His promises. Every single one of them. Not once…

The Battle Cry

As horrific storms have been ravishing our nation, death tolls rising and grief abounding, I’ve been thinking. Some who stop by our Place have been struggling with the terrible storms, or a tragic medical diagnosis, a sudden job loss, a seemingly immovable and very mountainous situation in your adoption, a financial blow, a relational trauma,…

Taking the Plunge

A young bloggy friend, Stephanie, sent me a note the other day that made my eyes well with tears.   I asked if it would be okay to share her story publicly… I know that sometimes friends can read the stories I share and think, “Well that’s good for you, but God doesn’t do things…

The Thud

What a joy this past week has been and oh the thud that happens in my soul when everyone is gone. Ugh. Long anticipated days which take forevvvvvver  to get here and then  poof{!}  it’s over!  Anne Shirley {of Anne of Green Gables} describes how I feel each time one of our grown treasures come…

The Ugly Side

Recently I noticed one of our treasures seemed to have a very different expression.  I studied the expression, finding it difficult to read.  Each day I paid attention.  The countenance was very unusual and I wondered what was going on. A few days passed as I continued to watch.  When this one caught me staring…

As our hearts still celebrate the resurrection day… wanna hear some news worth a  continual party?  So the other day Ruby was at therapy where both her OT and PT were doing a session together.   Artemis and Valerie are good friends which makes it even more fun. Together they talked and decided it was…
