Celebrate The Moments of CHRISTmas
Whatever your simply sensational moments may be, I hope you find time for it today! It’s really important to do that — even if you have to leave some other monstrously and seemingly important thing undone. It might be time to prioritize, and special moments should never be crossed off the list!

Christmas Gift Certificates for Your Husband
Why don’t you give him something that is incredibly valuable and rare? Give him a gift that includes BOTH treasures: the things he never asks for but always wants, and the things he always asks for and never gets enough!
50 Days of Encouragement
Immanuel, A Christmas Presence
Have you ever experienced Immanuel? Here’s how. Close your eyes . Take a deep breath. Let it out, and with the emptying of that breath, empty yourself of self — thoughts of self, of the present, of now. And then — instead of being in the present — be in the PRESENCE.

Mary Had a Little Lamb
While her baby was safe in her arms, she heard in her heart the cries of Rachael, weeping for her sons, but refusing to be comforted.

Dear Husband, I Know What You’re Saying
Posted August 4, 2016 by Denise Barkdoll
Unlike me, Robert doesn’t always have a lot to say. Sometimes our conversations are more one-sided with me talking and him listening. That’s usually the way it is when the topic of “feelings” arises. Occasionally I just like to say to him, “Let’s talk about our feelings”. And he usually responds with, “I don’t even […]

Part 2: Just Me and the Chickens
Posted July 25, 2016 by Denise Barkdoll
I’m so glad you joined me for the second half of this two-part post! Previously, I wrote about the strength and encouragement I draw from my Saviour Who has also walked this life in human flesh and was “touched with the feeling of our infirmities” (Hebrews 4:15). It’s such a comfort to me to know […]

Part 1: Been There, Done That
Posted July 18, 2016 by Denise Barkdoll
t really means a lot to me when I can talk with someone who truly understands how I feel because they’ve “been there” before. I always appreciate sympathy and a listening ear, but talking through something with a person whose own experience has led them down a similar path gives me an extra sense […]

I’m Changing How I See The Messy
Posted June 25, 2016 by Denise Barkdoll
Sisters, count it all joy when you clean up various messes… This loose take on James 1:2 popped into my brain recently as I was wiping up the greasy remnants of my husband’s French fry-ing adventure from the night before. The thought came to me right after this one: Why am I cleaning up a […]

Robert’s job is primarily an outdoor one. In the winter, he deals with cold and snow and wind. He goes off to work with a hat and gloves and sometimes a thermos of soup. In the summer he contends with the sun and heat and humidity. Sunscreen and plenty of water are needed every day. […]

Posted June 10, 2016 by Jen McDonald
The scene: We’d landed in North Dakota after nearly 24 hours of flying from the island of Guam, including layovers in Honolulu, Los Angeles, Denver, and Minneapolis. By the time we’d completed the last leg of the trip, two of our four children had been airsick, most of us hadn’t slept or eaten a real […]

4 Ways to Stay Connected In a Long-Distance Relationship…Marriage!
Posted June 2, 2016 by Jen McDonald
It may sound a bit sad to hear my marriage defined as a “long-distance” relationship, but over the course of the past few years, it’s been that way more often than not. As a military family, we’ve been through our share of deployments, and my husband’s job for many years’ running has seen him spend […]

The Master Plans
Posted May 27, 2016 by Denise Barkdoll
I don’t know about you, but I can be pretty good at making some plans. A portion of these plans are just dreams, conceived by and tucked away in my romantic little heart, all tied up with pretty little bows. Most of my plans are practical. I plan out what’s for supper, and what I’ll […]
