Dear Husband, I Know What You’re Saying
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
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 […]

I’m Changing How I See The Messy
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 […]

Thank You, Dear Husband
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 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 […]

Posted May 24, 2016 by Jen McDonald

When we began homeschooling our oldest waaay back in 1995, I didn’t have a vision of continuing for years and years. Yet here we are, with three children graduated and our […]
