This time of year is often one of reflection: looking back at the year that is bidding us adieu and contemplating the beneficial things that ought to be repeated and those areas that require action of another sort. Although it hasn’t been my custom, last year I took the Word of the Year quiz at…… Continue reading gather
If you’ve been around this blog for awhile, you’ll see a definite pattern. I’ll be writing strong and steady for a time, then I’ll seem to disappear from the face of the earth. My vanishing act regularly occurs in the summer months. This year has been no different. While there is an aspect of lazy…… Continue reading vanishing act
Is it just me, or does food bring people together in a special way? There is something wonderful about sharing your table and the fruits of your labours (or someone else’s for that matter). Conversation flows more naturally and small silences go unnoticed as we enjoy the meal. Years ago, we would split the time…… Continue reading easter feasting
Well, it seems I’ve been MIA. I hope you’re having a fantastic summer with lots of reenergizing and reconnecting time. We finished our homeschooling at the end of May so as to prepare for a busy summer. And what a busy summer it’s been! It’s a summer centred around people–family, friends and new friends. Isn’t…… Continue reading MIA
I’m playing a bit of catch-up here… If you remember, I mentioned that we had a wonderful visit with our Alberta girl back in April. It had been a full year since we’d seen her–two years since our df girl and cl boy had seen her. Last week, we met our cb girl and her…… Continue reading family, friends & friends that are family
Spring teased us for weeks here on the coast. We would bask in the warmth of the spring sunshine only to be brought down to earth the next day with a cold blast. I do believe we actually went right from winter to summer…well almost-summer, that season, too, likes to taunt me. We know that…… Continue reading rhubarb bread pudding
We are now two weeks into spring. Someone forgot to tell the weather. We have had several snow storms with, perhaps, more on the horizon. Today, the grey air holds a fine snow being blown furiously about by the seemingly never-ending wind. The dreariness of the day echoes my mood. This day would have been my brother’s forty-eighth…… Continue reading i am holding on
There are a couple of kids at our church that I babysit quite regularly and I thought it would be nice to make them something special for Christmas. The little girl is four and loves Frozen and princesses and all things girly. When I saw the mermaid tail blankets, I thought it was a perfect idea for…… Continue reading christmas gifting ~ mermaid tail and nemo cocoon blanket
We started a ladies’ Bible study group this fall. Can I say how beneficial it has been to me and how grateful I am for it? Here I thought that I was going where He lead, just helping to meet a need, instead the Lord has blessed me immeasurably…isn’t that just like Him? I prayed for direction…… Continue reading me…leading a ladies’ bible study?
This week we celebrated the life of a beautiful woman who loved Jesus. We had only known her a year or so, but it was evident that the light of the Saviour shone through her. She loved people and even on her deathbed she was concerned about the needs of others, praying for others. She fought her…… Continue reading not goodbye
