She's Home!!!

WooHooooo!!!  God has answered our prayers.  Ellianna, the precious baby I have listed on my side bar is finally home!  I have been waiting to post an update as things have been touch and go for quite some time.  But I just got word that she is eating on her own and was able to make the journey home a few days ago.  I am SOOOOO excited for her and her sweet family!  I'm sure their hearts are overflowing with joy.  Thank you so much for your prayers!  Please continue to pray as I'm sure there will be more hurdles to overcome in the future - But thank God for her recovery!

Life can be difficult.  Sometimes it's easy to dwell on the pain that surrounds us...at times it seems impossible to escape negative feelings.  I know many of you are going through your own heartache...struggling to hold on.  I want to remind you that our Saviour IS alive.  He sees and cares about those things that tear at our hearts.  He hasn't forgot about you!  Weather you are having difficulty in  relationships, struggling financially, having health issues or any other trial that comes... know you are not forgotten and if you depend on Him you are never alone.

May each of your hearts be filled with joy and peace today!  

UPDATE:  It has been a bit since I've kept up on my blog reading so this news comes very late but I still thought I should share... Ellianna passed away on July 14 after 4 months of struggling.  Please continue your prayers for her precious family. 



Until then...
Jessie

Invisible Monster

May 23, 2020, I woke to a miracle surrounding a loved one. Later, I sat in the gardens watching butterflies perch upon lavender lilacs while my Sweet Shalom giggled and chased after them. It had been a perfect day. The air was warm, but the skies overcast like a storm was about to roll in.   Life changes quickly...    The message flashed on the screen.        Wait - he's gone? Dear...I don't know what to call you, I've always wondered, with the slamming of the prison door, did you know what your choices would cost your children? Did you care?  My grandpa knew you as a kid. He was your pastor, said your parents were good people. He said you were a good kid too, but somewhere along the journey you lost your way.    You lost your way... and I was one of many that paid for your choices.      One of my last visits with you left me with a shoulder injury. The physical pain is a reminder that children should never have to v...

Resurrection Cookies

I wanted to share this with y'all.  I'm not sure where this recipe/idea originated from, but a friend gave it to me many years ago.  Thanks, Mary!  Since that time it's something I've done with our children every year.  Part of our Easter celebration they look forward to - and while they're having fun cooking with mom they're also learning about the cost Jesus paid to give us the gift of salvation.  I'm sure many of you have made these before but I wanted to share for those that hadn't.  Hope y'all enjoy! Resurrection Cookies: To be made on the evening before Easter. 1 Cup whole pecans 1 tsp. vinegar 3 egg whites  pinch of salt 1 cup sugar zipper baggie wooden spoon tape Bible Preheat oven to 300 (this is important- don't wait until you're half done with the recipe). Place pecans in zipper baggie and let children beat them with the wooden spoon to break into small pieces.  Explain that after Jesus was arr...

Pesky Willow

I glanced over to see where the rasping sound was coming from only to find her wee fingers entwined within the willow.  Her Moses basket is her safe place if she's not in someones arms.  It's her comfort and security, except for the braided trunk that curves with a mind of it's own.  Somehow her hand found it's loop.  Although she hates the texture she continues to grab hold and fight with it.  Exhausting herself.  Still - she fights.  She won't win.  The handle isn't going anywhere.  Eventually I turn her the other direction where she can no longer see it.  Still - it won't be long until her arm rubs against it's rough texture.  Then the fight will begin again. I do the same thing at times.  No.  I don't fight with the handle of a basket.  I fight against circumstances, people, the past, regrets...myself.  I don't like the way it makes me feel.  Yet I keep grabbing hold and wrestling.  Exhausting ...
