More Comments From Kerry’s Corner…

–The other day, Kerry fell into the corner of the piano stool and got a nasty bruise on his forehead. Later that same day, the kids were having chocolate pudding after lunch. Kerry says, “I hope this chocolate pudding goes straight to my head–I mean my forehead–so it will feel better!”

Heavenward Helium

Sarah got a free balloon at the grocery store today. On her own, she attached a note to it and released it up into the sky. Before Sarah let the balloon go, I sneaked a peek at her note, and this is what it said:
Dear Jesus,
I love you. You are very, [...]

I Know The Destination

…Well, in this post, I could write about some of the struggles and troubles weighing on my heart, but “N-a-a-h!!” Who wants to read that stuff, right?! …And who wants to focus on it either?!
O.k., I’ll be honest. I was going to write about some of that “stuff,” but then I [...]

The Morning Will Come…

…and the mourning will end.
“…Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” –Psalm 30:5
“This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” –Lamentations [...]

By and By

This morning a familiar song is playing in my head, and it’s one that I’m surprised I haven’t posted before (I thought I had). Anyway, just after all these posts on thankfulness and the Thanksgiving holidays, one might wonder why I would be posting this particular song. Well, reflecting on this song certainly [...]

Speaking of Climbing…

…trees and enjoying nature, Scott, his dad, the kids and I took a trek through the woods behind “Grand-Daddy’s” house the other day.  We made our way through brush, tree limbs, vines, and thorn bushes. None of us climbed any huge trees, but the kids enjoyed crossing little creeks by balancing [...]

We’re Still Counting…

…Counting our blessings–that is. We will never run out of things to count! I’m thankful for my Savior, my family, my husband, my kids, and this beautiful day–just to name a few…
And hey, by the way, I’m thankful for you-those who blog, who read my blog… I have enjoyed reading so many [...]

Speaking of Thanks…

Have I mentioned that Thanksgiving is not the only special day to our family this week? You see, this Friday is a day of remembrance and thanks for an event that took place eleven years ago. On November 23rd, 1996, the prayer of a 15 year old boy was answered (after 10 yrs.), [...]

Thankfulness Begins With…

…the acceptance of a Savior’s love… How can we not be thankful, when we think of Jesus and what He has done for us?! Last night, a very loved and cherished hymn kept coming to my mind and filling my heart with such gratitude. In my college days, I used to [...]
