Help us to keep their little hands warm this winter

November 7, 2018

The snow kept falling and falling yesterday and if you are like me the snow has always been my cue to haul out the rubbermaid bin filled with all my wooly hats, mittens and scarves. The temperatures are dropping and it’s time to bundle up! I remember when I was young, before heading outdoors my mom always dressed me in my snowsuit and would wrap me from head to toe like a mummy so every bit of exposed skin was covered. I giggle now, but I did the exact same thing with our girls when ...

It all began with one caring heart!

October 29, 2018

Thanks to many loving hands that have contributed to our mitten ministry, we have reached 755 pairs of mittens. We are still aiming to reach our goal of 2000 pairs by mid December of this year. Our goal may seem lofty given it’s already the end of October, but we aren’t at the ...

September 6, 2018

We have a mountain ash in our backyard that is bursting with berries this year! Dozens of bright orange clusters heavily weigh down the limbs of our little tree. The branches are literally drooping, almost touching the ground. Last year the entire tree produced only one berry cluster so you ...

Humble steps back down

May 10, 2018

I continue to grow in my faith each time I follow what I like to call “nudges” that I receive from the Holy Spirit. I’ve been feeling another one of those nudges these past few months. He brought to my attention a bitterness that has been lingering deep within me. A ...

There’s HOPE in that box!

April 19, 2018

What if? I’ve often wondered what my life would have been like if I was born into different circumstances. Would it look like it does today? I have pondered that for many hours and have come to the realization that I was born into the exact circumstances that God chose for me to be born ...

Freedom at the Cross

March 28, 2018

Sunday April 15, 2001 was the first church service I ever attended and it just so happened to be an Easter Sunday service! I’ve often said there couldn’t be a better day to be introduced to the church. I sat amongst a joyous crowd that morning as we celebrated Christ’s ...

You Can Have It All!

March 17, 2018

That one statement alone, “You can have it all” fills many of us with hope and anticipation of what may lie ahead. Think about it, it actually started the moment we were brought into this world. Our parents looked at our newborn selves and began to dream of what we might become one ...
