About...

Life: It's all about Jesus; His purpose and His glory!

My Kitchen: A place for coffee, chopping vegetables, and heart-to-heart conversation.

Patience: It's tireless and long-suffering; has the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper. (Col. 3:12, Amplified Bible)

Derek: Loves people. And, unlike his mother, he will never long for "just a small space of peace and quiet".

The Sky: There's nothing in all the world like a Honduras sky. I fall in love again and again.

Listening: What my sweet friend Janie does best. Thank you Lord, for her short visit!

School: Happy, happy children. Contented parents. Patient teacher.

God's Love: I am discovering it anew. And wondering how we can know such a huge, powerful, passionate love and yet remain so unmoved.

Emily: Celebrated her eleventh birthday. How can this be happening to me?

Our Table: Now regularly seats ten people.

Manners: What my children are learning since there are ten people at the table.

Guests: They are plentiful and kind and generous.

Chocolate: My cup runneth over, thanks to some of those generous guests.

Gratefulness: What shines in Mandie's eyes when I sew a dress for her beloved Baby Maggie- followed by a hug and, "Baby Maggie wuvs me!"

Jackets and Socks: The new novelty since the weather has suddenly turned cold and rainy.

Potty Training: Definitely not my field of expertise.

After Dinner Conversation: Anything from homemade rockets and basketball to courtship and "finding God's will". Having three young people around has certainly added an interesting dimension to our lives!

The Truth: Sets us FREE. I love it!

Long-suffering: You, if you have endured to the end of this post.

Me: Loving my life!
