Jubilee Can Hear {Finally!}

Joy of joys! Jubilee can finally{!} hear! We praise the name of the Lord that He gave man the idea for bone induction  hearing… and wisdom for the technology behind it… because now our precious girl can hear. Jubilee waited 12 years  and  her smile says it all. She was so excited she could hardly…

The “It” – Part 3

The links here: Part 1 and Part 2 of the “It” story would  be a great place to start before reading this post.   If you aren’t into going back and reading them, no biggie. Please do me a favor and just skip this one too, or likely you will be very confused by it all. The last part of this story is just…

This Mimi is Tickled….

So many of you prayed for our Karl back in July 2011. Those new to our Place Called Simplicity,  our precious [now] son-in-love Karl  {who was dating our daughter at the time}  was in a horrific motorcycle accident on  July 17, 2011.   A traumatic brain injury left Karl in a coma for 15 days.

Family Photos – Saunders Style

Given the official announcement yesterday I joyfully share our family photo taken  over Christmas. Missing twelve of us: Abigail, Ryan, Finn, Stone,  &  Baby #3 [due any day],  Ty, Sarah, Charlotte & Will, Emma & LM Baby #1 for Karl and Autumn –  although sort of pictured Ruby’s thinkin’,  “Is that the best scary face…

She Said “Yes!”

Oh the inexplicable joy of being a parent!

The “It” – Part 2

About a week ago I began a mini-series about a large  change in my life.  I wrote that post from my heart and  made myself quite vulnerable.  As always with posts that I share from my heart, if you  are joining in mid-stream and did not catch Part 1,  please be kind enough to go back and read Part 1,…

Two Ten Year Olds…

Birthdays are definitely not in short supply  in our home during the winter months. And today we celebrate the miraculous working of Almighty God in bringing Isaiah Samuel home. For those who know Isaiah’s story, you remember how God moved the enormous mountains… If you ask Isaiah what God can do he quips without hesitation:…

Relentless

Busily working away typing Part 2 of my little mini-series on “It”….earphones on, and listening to Made Alive over and over and over and over. Have you heard it before? My all-time favorite line:  “You’ve bought me back with the  riches of your amazing grace and  relentless love…” I love the word relentless.    God’s love…

Don’t Wait

I had a horrible dream the other night about one  of our treasures.  It was long and involved and just  wouldn’t end.  Well actually it would be totally classified as a nightmare.     I don’t usually remember my dreams at all,  however, this one was the kind that wakes you  up and days later…
