First Signs of Spring and the Beauty of the Season

First Signs of Spring and the Beauty of the Season

I adore the first signs of Spring after a long cold winter. It’s as if God himself is breathing new fresh life back into his creation.  What was dead and brown is being replaced with tender green shoots emerging from the earth to greet us with a new season.

March Family Highlights

I thought it would be fun to document our monthly highlights to give you a little sneak peak into our family life each month.  I can’t promise this will be a regular series.  I’m not real reliable like that. 😉  But today, you get highlights.

A Lesson on Grace From a Five Year Old

Sometimes I get things right. Most of the time though I fumble through this parenting gig, picking myself up as I go, dusting myself off, and trying again. Today I learned a lesson in grace, and I learned this lesson from my five year old.
