Memorial Box Monday – The Old Car

I have a really fun story to tell this time around, because it is a clear reminder that Almighty God loves, loves, loves to answer our prayers. He loves to give us the desires of our hearts. He cares about even the teeny, tiny little things….listen to this: In 1978 when Dw and I were…

Jubilee’s Surgery

Well yesterday didn’t turn out quite like planned. Here’s how the the day went: Emma, Jubilee and I got to the hospital and checked in. Jubilee was already not liking being there. When they took us in the little room and gave us the jammies to put on, she was looking at all the medical…
