In the spirit of Thanksgiving, be sure to take some time this week to give thanks. Aim to fix your eyes NOT on all the Thanksgiving preparations, but INSTEAD on your many blessings. This week, cultivate a gratitude practice … grab a tiny notebook or whisper under your breath, again and again and again ALL… Continue reading Give Thanks

I Will Cast My Cares on You
Earlier this week, my youngest daughter took a tumble off of our picnic table, hitting her head on the cement patio below. I felt sick about it. Of course, I did what any mother would do, comforting her the best I could, using her favourite blanky and stuffies to make her feel better … putting… Continue reading I Will Cast My Cares on You
Again and Again and Again
This morning, during my quiet time before the kids woke for the day, I scoured the web (again) for ways to support my daughter with her big, big feelings. Yesterday, I “engaged” a little too much. We just got home from another camping trip, and naturally, there was much to do to get unpacked. The… Continue reading Again and Again and Again
Scripture Sunday: Build Others Up
It’s Scripture Sunday! In the last couple of months, I’ve been taking a bit of a “deeper dive” into the bible (thanks to some local friends for the encouragement to do so) … it's been a wonderful journey so far, as I come to know and learn more and more about the God who created… Continue reading Scripture Sunday: Build Others Up
A Brush With Death
A few days ago while visiting my doctor in Melfort, he initiated a conversation about one of my past visits … close to four years ago now … “I’ll never forget how scared I was when I saw you in my office that day,” he told me. “You were a very, very sick person.” It… Continue reading A Brush With Death
Remember the Fallen
Yesterday, while playing around with my camera outside, I noticed A LOT of fallen trees. This inspired me to create a small token of remembrance for “The Fallen.” The background is one of the photos I took. The foreground hosts some simple fingerprint poppies … I used green paint markers for the stems. #lestweforget2020

I desperately wanted to create something meaningful ... something thoughtful ... something that would… Continue reading Let His Light Shine
What Do You Want the Story to Be?
So here we are, in the middle of a pandemic … it’s been 56 days since the schools in Saskatchewan closed … that’s eight weeks of social-distancing … 56 days (or more) without seeing extended family … eight weeks without seeing any friends … 56 days of homeschooling … eight weeks at home … 56… Continue reading What Do You Want the Story to Be?
Enough
I have a confession to make … I haven’t been doing all of those things that I wrote about in my last post (“Even Though”) back on April 12th … I haven’t been creating, I haven’t been reading, I haven’t been spending a whole lot of time with my kids (even though they’re in my… Continue reading Enough
I Am Humbled
A year or so ago, I started cross country skiing. We have an amazing club in our community thanks to an incredible and extremely passionate skiing lady ... let's call her Gloria. For $30 a year, I can borrow ski equipment and take advantage of the incredible cross-country ski trails and programming we have in… Continue reading I Am Humbled
