A Beautiful Glimpse

June 28, 2013 Linny Saunders11 Comments

I often wonder how moms ever survived when their children went off to serve in foreign countries in years past. Before there was internet, cell phones Skype and Face time. Having read dozens of missionary biographies over the years, I always stood amazed at the courage of missionary’s moms. How grateful I am that I live…

A Yukky Story That Must Be Shared…

June 18, 2013 Linny Saunders12 Comments

This story is a serious one. I have prayed for a couple of months about sharing it. Because of the yukkiness of it, I just couldn’t bring myself to. However, the circumstances are such that, the time is now. I would ask that you kindly read it in it’s entirety or feel…

4.3 Million People and He Chose Us

Last night we had one of the wildest things ever happen. In fact, we are still shaking our heads and saying to each other, “*That* was the crazy. Out of 4.3 million people, He chose us. What a privilege.” So the six youngest ones were tucked into bed as we sat down to wait…

Our Kitchen Transformation….

We are totally loving our new home. It’s been six months living here, already! Personally, I cannot tell you how thankful I am to know that we are “home” – finally. I’m still unpacking boxes that have been piled in the garage because we never unpacked them in the rental, nor was their time…

Knowing that many of you enjoyed hearing Dw speak from time to time when we used to pastor, I thought I should mention that the bossman of our home is back in the saddle again! Dw has been speaking from time to time on Wednesday evenings at our church, Phoenix First. Dw has recently been…

Can’t Help Myself

Yes, yes, I know, it’s not the first of the month. I just can’t help myself. But I just feel the need to share a story today. It’s a simple story, but so pertinent to every day life for every one of us. Because I’m convinced that many people today feel that they can only…

“Joyful” Would be an Understatement

“He makes the barren woman to be at home, the joyful mother of children.” Psalm 113:9 He keeps His promises. All of them. I think back to all the longing, whining and crying He had to put up with… as I begged Him to fill my arms… little did I know He had plans…

Feeling Pampered

There’s a wee little miracle-girl laying beside me squealing, giggling, kicking, “talking” and gently rubbing my leg…{and she’s been doing it since somewhere around 1:45 am}. Jet lag has had me up as well…and so I’ve been awake since 1:15am. Clearly little Miss Ruby is happy her mommy is home and her mommy is…

Ga-Zoo-Nee

Many of you have wondered what family life at our home is like on a day to day basis…here’s a little of an average Saturday with our large family…. This morning the boys stayed home {they cringe at the thought of yard sales, hanging with big brother is way more fun} with Graham while Dw chauffeured us…

That Man O’ Mine

His selfless love for others makes him an example of God’s pure love… Gentle. Tender-hearted. Cries easily {especially when children suffering are mentioned} Kind. Wise. Brave. Strong. Orphan advocate. Grace-filled. Generous. Known by more than a dozen as “dad” and hundreds as Big Jaja….. and by me for the last 37+ years as “Whitey”… Today…
