Getting Real About Love

On this day of love, I feel so unlovable! I’ve felt that way the most of my life. Alone. Lonely. Unlovable. Unloved. Since I was very young, all I wanted was for someone to love me. I found that someone in Jesus at a young age, but sometimes I just needed something more tangible. Thankfully…

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Portriat of Faith “I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; “and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.”²”…

So How was Your Christmas?

Ours was very quiet, though I still stayed busy doing mom things! Christmas Eve we attended church in the morning and then took our 80 plus year old adopted neighbor grandparents to lunch. We are so blessed to have them! They’re like family and our kids have grown up with them and call them grandma…

A Gift From Above

(c) Gina Conroy October 25, 1990 While asking the Lord what I should write for this Sunday, He reminded me of a Chritmas song I wrote over 15 years ago. Though you won’t be able to hear the tune over the internet, may the words reach down deep into your soul! A Gift From Above…

Christmas Version of First Cornithians 13

Not sure who the writer of this is, but wanted to pass it along. If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show love to my family, I’m just another decorator. If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing…

I’m Dreaming of a FRIGHT Christmas?

Our family has been having interesting dreams lately? Last night I dreamt it was Chrsitmas Eve, and I forgot to get wrap Grace’s presents were still in the attic. Two nights ago Chris dreamt they added a new scene to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and he was freaking out on stage. And…

Christmas Caroling

As a child of about ten years old, one of my favorite things about Christmas was going Christmas Caroling on Christmas Eve. Along with the neighbors, we’d bundle up in our winter coats and take our candles with tinfoil holders, caroling music sometimes tucked under our arms. Then the five or six us us would…

Christmas Wrapping Made Easy

In the past I had just wrapped my four kids’ presents and put the name tags on them , then I’d separate them into piles for each child. It made opening presents with four kids less chaotic on Christmas morning. Then a couple of years ago I started selecting different wrapping paper for each child.…
