“It” Is Back

November 13, 2013 Linny Saunders37 Comments

I’m often asked, “How do you do it?” Or the most often heard comment I get, “I could never do what you do.” I think what they might be really saying is, “You are silver-haired and should be empty-nesting it, but ummmm, you have lots and lots of kids even really little kids.” To which…

It has been a difficult week since hearing the news of Alicia Halpenny’s passing. No doubt, many of you have been impacted by her life after reading her blog and hearing more about her. {The very same day we heard about Alicia, we also heard of the passing of a sweet young girl who…

She’s Dancing with Jesus Now, Yet We Grieve

Some of you might remember that back in March 2012 Dw flew home to see his mom just before she passed. Emma, who had free flight privileges at the time, couldn’t bear the thought of daddy being there alone, so she flew to join him. On one of the evenings in Dw’s home town…

It Always Has to Go Back to That

I had another blog post started today, but felt that there was someone out there in bloggy land who needed to read this instead. It’s fresh. It’s raw. But I’m sharing it – anyway. Sooooo… The other day I realized something that made me stop dead in my tracks. I would love to tell…

In the Midst of Dark Pain

While we were in Africa a few weeks ago, the Lord spoke a powerful word to my heart. We had gotten up at the crack of dawn to meet up with some of the sweetest little street boys who ever lived. We love loving on them and no doubt, they love it too. That particular…

The Email

Clearly from the response after yesterday’s post, there are a bunch of bloggy friends in the same boat – needing to hear and be encouraged {again!}: “Those who hope in the Lord will *not* be disappointed.” Well as I mentioned the Lord’s clearing the path on the Freeway {again!} was His whispers that He cares, He…

Abandonment – Part 2

October 15, 2013 Linny Saunders41 Comments

After the response to the post last month on abandonment, several wrote and asked for some help and also asked if we would share some of our life experiences. As always, this is our personal story. It’s okay if you don’t agree with how we choose to handle this life God has graciously granted us. It…

Learn From My Mistakes…

I have been pondering something for awhile now that I feel just really needs to be mentioned…. it’s a lesson learned, shall we say. Due to the nature of it all, this has to be written in vagueness. Yet, the nugget of truth in the midst of it is too valuable – it must be…

The Load

September 23, 2013 Linny Saunders7 Comments

The picture above is common in Uganda. Large items balanced on skinny bike tires that were certainly never meant for carrying such heavy, bulky and gangly loads. No doubt, the carrier of the goods must work tediously to balance with precision the weight of each load. I have marveled for years at the industrious internal…

Abandonment

September 3, 2013 Linny Saunders41 Comments

Last night as I was tucking my treasures into bed, one asked a question that opened the door to a very long and very tender discussion about abandonment. It’s never an easy discussion, in fact it’s the one discussion I dread. As an adoptive mom, my heart wrenches about inside my chest. The most powerful…
