One of my husband’s greatest desires when we started our family was that our children be close. What did that mean exactly? Though I was not sure exactly what “he” meant, I knew what it meant to me. I am one of four children. My mother had two boys and two girls. One of myContinue reading “Your Brother’s Keeper”

I See, Hear and Love YOU, Too!
Children of large families can sometimes feel lost in conversations of past events, vacations or just of times gone by with older siblings. They can feel lonely at times even in the midst of many others living in the home. I have heard from people who had many siblings that the older children were responsibleContinue reading “I See, Hear and Love YOU, Too!”
Pulling Weeds Is A Must
This month I launched a bible study series, “Proverbs 31 Woman-She Lives In YOU!” It’s a three part, online series. We meet once a month in June, July and August via ZOOM. In between those meetings, I send inspiration and encouragement to the participants to promote spiritual growth individually and collectively. In our first sessionContinue reading “Pulling Weeds Is A Must”
Summer Is For Serving Others
Volunteering has always been something our children do in the Summer. They have helped at our local library, assisted with sports camps and even cleaned our neighborhood. This year our sons participated in a very special camp, SOAL (Serving One Another in Love). SOAL is a camp that the student minister at our church startedContinue reading “Summer Is For Serving Others”
Made to Flourish
My journey with the Lord has revealed that I was made to flourish! One of my favorite past times is gardening, indoor and outdoor gardening. I liken myself unto a perennial. I’ve been planted on purpose, with purpose. One might say my life began in unplanned and to some,unpardonable circumstances. I was born in NYContinue reading “Made to Flourish”

We also delve into our history and science completing a chapter of ourContinue reading “Learning and Growing Together!”
I Remember
When our first generation (of 3), which included four of our ten children, were young there were days when all I wanted to do was get out and get some fresh air with my mom friends and our children for a carefree morning or afternoon. Well, today our daughter who is of that first generationContinue reading “I Remember”
A Quiver Full
When I became a Christian, as a young adult, one of my first convictions was to give up taking birth control. As I was learning to value myself as a woman of God, this was not a difficult choice for me. Birth control had made seeking love in all the wrong places easy. So, theContinue reading “A Quiver Full”
Slow Mornings
I am a firm believer that the way I start my day truly sets the tone for the rest of the day. I rise early while my household is sleeping to begin the day with quiet time. I pray, engage the Word of God, reflect and journal. It’s so peaceful in His presence. I castContinue reading “Slow Mornings”
My First Love
Though I had lived, been loved and even demonstrated love to others, I really did not know love until I came to know Jesus for myself. As I engaged in a relationship with the Lord, I realized God to be “my first love”. He created me with purpose, on purpose. He knew me in myContinue reading “My First Love”
