Tradwife

Posted on June 12, 2024 by For Glory Sake!

I read there’s a new trend called “trad-wives:” staying home to raise your children, cooking and cleaning for the family, willingly serving your husband, even homeschooling the kids! I had no idea that me and my 55+ age friends were … Continue reading →

“With me, Without me”

Posted on April 7, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

David’s dad has an old tree beside his log cabin. Actually 2 trees grown together. They remind me of best friends in a long marriage, mushed at the bottom and twisted at the middle, like they’re holding hands. ❤️ Poppy told … Continue reading →

Not just for the birds!

Posted on July 30, 2022 by For Glory Sake!

These crazy birds come into our garage every year. They build nests in the most inconvenient places, getting trapped when the doors are lowered- or disturbed when someone needs the item in the nest location. I fear for their lives … Continue reading →

“Complements”

Posted on June 24, 2022 by For Glory Sake!

Complement: something that fills up, completes, making better or perfect.  I wake up early, you stay up late. I’m whimsical, you’re practical. You love to cook, I enjoy cleaning. You enjoy time inside, I love being outside. I attack lists, you procrastinate. … Continue reading →

Gifts from God

Posted on January 16, 2020 by For Glory Sake!

To me, every day is gift from God. Every morning I wake up and every quiet-time I get to spend with Him. Every flower that blooms I count from Him. Every moment with my husband. Each child He has graciously … Continue reading →

I Married My Soulmate

Posted on June 4, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

I have heard and read (several times) of an opinion that: a God-given, one-of-a-kind, match-made-in-heaven, soul-mate is – impossible, impractical and probably unbiblical. What? I don’t have any verses to quote, all I can say is that God made this … Continue reading →

A New Year

Posted on January 1, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

A new year crept in last night… around 11:59 to be exact. Before I could gather all my thoughts, it was simply here and the clock without reverence kept right on ticking. It was as if it were no big … Continue reading →

Overwhelmed? Take 3

Posted on May 9, 2013 by For Glory Sake!

Groceries, meals, laundry, dishes, carpool, sport’s schedules… exercise. I can’t seem to keep up with it all. I’m terrified something will be forgotten. It’s only been an issue it was somebody forgotten! Occasionally control-freak comes to mind as I obsess over … Continue reading →
