THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD HAS RETURNED
Bibi’s Blessings (to my children) Christmas…Being with our people…Giving extravagantly…Treasuring up precious moments in our hearts… As I’ve busied myself around the kitchen all day long, listening to Christmas music and bossing your Dad around, I’ve been filled with so much love and anticipation of being with my treasures tomorrow… And those thoughts led me to remember how God instructed Moses to build a tabernacle, just for the purpose of coming down to BE with His people… And His eternal…
Can You Handle the Curve Balls?
BiBi’s Blessings “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matthew 5:48 I’ll never, ever forget sitting on the hillside, overlooking the Sea of Galilee, and hearing Kay Arthur teach the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5,6,7) To sit on the very hill where my Lord once stood, to hear the very words that He spoke there was more than my mind had ever thought to imagine. It was as if I were only steps away from Him and…
Life’s Little Moments
One of “BiBi’s Blessings” sent to my children: “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12 On our trip to Israel, we sat beside a family who had a little boy, about 3 yo I think. Both parents looked exhausted and preoccupied. As the plane ascended, the mother put her head on the headrest and closed her tired eyes, the dad took out a newspaper, and the little boy stared out the…
Ebenezers
I used to play a game with my grand daughter nearly every time I was with her. We named the game “rocks” and that sweet baby could play rocks for hours. The object was to pile those rocks as high as we could. I would pray right out loud every time we played that game, “Oh God! Give my baby lots of rocks!” She had no idea, of course, all the meaning that prayer held, but God knew. In Old…
Welcome to the Kingdom
To my firstborn baby grand child: Today, June 25, 2023, you told the Lord of heaven, and testified to the world that you have sold out, and given your all to the Lord Jesus. Buried with him in baptism, and raised to a new life forever. Your heart Has truly been His for a long time. You were born to shew forth His praises, even as your name, “Hallie” indicates- “Praise the Lord!” As you walk in his presence every…
Mama’s First Birthday in Heaven
I can’t let this day get away without telling you all that today is my dearest Mother’s birthday. She’d be 94 today.I wrote a sort of imagined dialogue on her first birthday in Heaven. I expect that this is a pitiful rendition of what it’s really like to leave the womb of this broken Earth and enter into Glory…But I sure look forward to finding out.I hope that in some way this brings comfort to the hearts of all of…
Her Worth is Far Above Rubies
Someone asked me today about our homeschooling years…Which got the wheels turning in my head about how many, many hours momma’s spend teaching, just DOING for their children. So, just out of curiosity, I did some figuring…You know…kinda trying to figure out what I might have been worth if my “mothering” job was a pay by the hour kind of deal. JUST up to the time my oldest child was 14 years old, (before I sent them to public school)…
My Aunt Peggy
My head is kind of reeling today. Sometimes things happen that are just so difficult to process. How can someone you love so very much be speaking with you in the grocery store one day, excited about a trip you’re planning together, sitting at your kitchen table reminiscing old times and shared love, laughing and sharing funny stories …and just days later… They are gone.And with them…a part of your heart. I never had the great honor of knowing my…
