Posted on December 15, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

Today was fun. Surprise! I found 3 items I’d been hunting for: a lost sock, a workout shirt and under garment. They disappeared weeks ago. Shaking out each clothing item from a bin revealed the culprit – static cling. There … Continue reading →

Better than sheep

Posted on December 3, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

Winter

Posted on November 29, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

It’s cold. It’s dark in the mornings. There’s little sunlight time. Not my favorite, but this season, like all others is a gift from God… because He Who promises to never leave us or forsake us, also promises that He … Continue reading →

Peace with death

Posted on September 24, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

This past week a friend of our family died. It had been a long tough illness courageously fought. Even though it’s a common topic at work (David’s law practice covers wills, estates and probate), it is still hard to hear … Continue reading →

Stay flexible

Posted on August 25, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

I thought raising 5 little children and then 6 teenagers required flexibility, but Grandma-life is challenging me in new ways. For years I was simply home everyday, available for all my family’s needs. Then slowly life changed and now I … Continue reading →

Every little thing

Posted on August 12, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

Big Shoes

Posted on August 5, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

Posted on July 6, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

Why are some days so hard? Struggle, struggle, up hill trudge. I came home from vacation to one battle after another- go figure! The grass was knee high but the mower wouldn’t start. All 4 tires flat 😳 needed air, … Continue reading →
