Crazy Love #5 – Dance with Me!

Sweet friends, my heart is heavy today. Yes, there are many reasons for the heaviness, but I know this: When we praise Him and minister to others our own troubles pale. He wants our focus to be on Him and others, no matter our circumstances. Period. Isn’t that just so hard sometimes? I know it…

Just a Quiet Day

It’s been a quiet day on the home front. The kids and I sat on the porch while I sipped coffee and we ate pumpkin bars I had made a few days ago. This afternoon Emma and I have been working on wreaths for above our beds. Emma’s making two…one for above Elizabeth and Jubilee’s…
