The kids have been passing around a head cold and in their generosity they even shared it with Birdie. Thanks guys. So she’s fighting that nasty old head cold too….and this morning I was trying to get her to smile at me while all cocooned in everyone’s big favorite chair. Normally she smiles easily and…

This sweet miracle-chica of ours was beside herself when we opened her bedroom door on the morning of June 16th! We had told her as we put her to bed the night before that it was her birthday in the morning! Don’t get me wrong, normal squealing is part of her “Dad or Mom just…

With all nine kids at VBS I’ve been working almost nonstop on the book. But today I realized I better take a break before the week was up! After all, it would be probably illegal to let the week fly by without doing something different! This week has been an amazingly wonderful and quiet treat!…

I Think It’s Been 34 Years…

I’ve been wracking my brain and as far as I can remember basically every day over the last 34 years I have had someone at home with me. Being a large family though, even as the bigs got bigger, there would always be a new little! We did foster care for a while too, which…

With Our Backs Against the Wall

As I’ve been praying about writing this post, I have to believe that God is going to use it to minister to many of you. Actually I woke up in the night and couldn’t go back to sleep because I just wanted to get up and write – which I did, after spending some time…

Happy Summer Sweet Friends!!! I stepped outside yesterday for a minute to look at our flowers and felt the warm (okay, some would call it ‘hot’) breeze blowing…it was 106 outside and I literally said to no one at all, “Ohhhh how I love living in Phoenix!” Bring on that heat!! It’s dry and…

Do you guys remember on November 2, 2016 I asked here if anyone knew of someone who might be able to help build Ruby a motorized chair like she had been using in therapy? Dozens and dozens of you graciously responded, shared the post and asked others!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart…

A Hero’s Family Today

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 We can’t ignore the fact that in homes around our land today many are remembering someone taken from them too soon – their loved one who gave the ultimate sacrifice by laying down their life for our nation!! Whether the loss was…

Anybody ever watch Cupcake Wars? Our family thinks the show is really kinda’ fun! We don’t indulge in sugar often..but every once in a while…we can’t help ourselves!! A few years back we had our own Cupcake Wars and it was a blast!! While Mama’s resting it seemed like the perfect time to do it…

Astoundingly Faithful

May 16, 2017May 17, 2017 Linny Saunders19 Comments

It’s me friends. First let me say that I have been completely overwhelmed by the faithfulness of God through this very real, very personal struggle. I completely testify that His lavish love has been present each step of the way. While laying in the hospital bed, uncertain of what the future held, I was worshipping…
