🌿A Blooming Vine in God’s Perfect Plan🌿
This blog comes with JOY! “Made with Joy” is the topic of our weekly Bible Study and, of course, we are JOY-filled that one of our “sisters” in our study, sweet mama Emily’s baby girl, Vignette, recently made her debut. There’s nothing quite like the anticipation of a new life. The joy, the nervousness, the…
A Brand New Life
Last June, my son’s family’s precious 14-year-old Havanese, Bentley, went to doggy heaven. We closed that chapter of caring for him and making him feel comfortable, but the love for him will never leave us. We’ll forever cherish the precious memories of Bentley growing up with my four Wuerch grandsons. It really is like losing…
Step into Spring
Spring begins today, March 19, 2024. Usually, it’s March 20 or 21, but because it’s a leap year, February gets an extra day. The season moves up a little on the calendar. Either way, the first day of Spring is always a little over a week after daylight saving time. But, with all that info,…
We are Living in Momentous Times
At the start of this year, I committed to reading daily from my “One Year Bible” (broken up each day in a chapter from the Old Testament, New Testament, a Psalm and Proverbs chapter in order). I’ve had some eye-opening encounters with the characters, the stories, the challenges, the miracles, and the Sovereign God we…
Lost but Found, Darkness but Light, Blind but Sight
Just after our Thanksgiving meal, it was time for my family photo session in Frisco. I missed four of the grands for this occasion, but nine of us would satisfy this photo-hungry Nana! Getting ready to pile into the cars, my grandson Payton, Mr. Enthusiasm and brimming with pent-up energy, proceeds to go into one…
This is what Love and Life Looks Like
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” (Jeremiah 1:5) Oh, yes, my friends – God isn’t surprised by surprises. In fact, He is delicately, intricately, lovingly, and carefully at work in our mama’s womb from the moment of our conception. And these photos are…
Who Said I’m Not a Dog Lover?
Five years ago, Payton, my then 13-year-old grandson, was quite the entrepreneur repairing and selling cell phones. He earned enough money to purchase his Australian Shepherd pedigreed puppy that came with a pretty hefty price tag! They lived in the Seattle area and had to drive a couple of hours north to see and purchase…
Welcome to the World – Our New Baby Foal!
There is nothing to compare with the joys of new life – of a baby – and, in my grandson’s opinion – a donkey baby (foal). What the family didn’t know when they added two little miniature donkeys, Firecracker and Molly Grace, to their family in January, that one of them could be “expecting”. They…
His Tomb Became a Delivery Room — Happy Resurrection Sunday!
Up until his last day on this earth, my Sweetheart and I were uncompromising and unwavering in our faith and belief that he would be healed. But on that day, I had a sense of “knowing”, it was time for him to get to go home. So, on that day, I leaned in close to…
What I’m Learning From My Garden
Day 130 of Photo Inspirations — What I’m Learning From My Garden Yesterday, right at dawn, I already had my day planned for planting the begonias and caladiums I bought the day before — my annual early May ritual. With my yard tools, wheelbarrow, planting soil, plant food, flowers and mulch, I began my handiwork.…
