Today I find myself reflecting on my journey of motherhood. Wow, I remember being pregnant for the first time…the fear, the joy, the wonder! Four years later, I was pregnant again and lo and behold, I birthed a child about every two years after that unto ten children. I guess you could say our quiver was full.

Still A Woman At Home
In this season of my life, I have many options for how and where to spend my time each day.
Your Brother’s Keeper
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 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”

Sunday dinner is a tradition at our home. Actually it is one of my favorite traditions! We have always enjoyed a meal together as a family on Sunday. It’s something I told our children they could look forward to even when they were grown. Each week our home is open for our children and theirContinue reading “It’s a Tradition!”
He Gives Them Flowers Too!
It is said that flowers can make you happy by triggering your happy brain chemicals and that they can stimulate a sense of pride and excitement. Flowers symbolize some of the deepest feelings… purity and passion, love and life, honour and happiness. I love flowers! My husband has been giving me flowers since the beginningContinue reading “He Gives Them Flowers Too!”
Our Children: Three Generations
It is said that a generation is the span of 10 years and our children range in age from 23-3 years old which means we have three generations of children; our quiver is certainly full! With three generations, it can be very easy to over look ones and at times, though not on purpose, IContinue reading “Our Children: Three Generations”
