He Believes

Yesterday morning I laid Aron’s clothes out for him in the living room. He was still eating breakfast in the kitchen and we were running late so instead of making him run upstairs to find clothes I decided to bring them down and help him dress once he…

Blessed

November 1, 2012February 16, 2018Mary Jo3 Comments on Blessed

Just thought I’d share a little story about prayer answered and God’s abundant but practical grace.

Tuesday morning I was barely on time as we headed out the door for school, only to find that my van wouldn’t start. It made the clicking sound of a d…

Sacred Winner!

July 23, 2012July 12, 2020Mary Jo2 Comments on Sacred Winner!

Well, after a little hiccup with my connection to the internet, I got the names printed, cut, folded neatly and tossed into a bowl.

Aron was the envy of his older brothers who insisted that they’ve “never got to do it!” which just isn’t true……

Confidence or Humility?

July 9, 2012July 12, 2020Mary Jo3 Comments on Confidence or Humility?

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:13

Big brown eyes full of tears, his pitiful face lifted to mine in agony over broken pride.

Who’s the Boss?

June 20, 2012July 12, 2020Mary Jo3 Comments on Who’s the Boss?

I decided to try putting Aron in charge of cleaning the playroom the other morning.

It was interesting.

It was his job to clean it up and he had his older brothers at his disposal.

First I had an 8 year old meekly crawl into my lap and expl…

Home Remedies: Art Shows and Card Displays

May 19, 2012July 11, 2020Mary JoLeave a Comment on Home Remedies: Art Shows and Card Displays

I love to display my kid’s artwork. I have to rotate it out regularly and make room for more fabulous drawings and paintings.

Easter Sunday Photos

May 5, 2012July 11, 2020Mary Jo1 Comment on Easter Sunday Photos

I’m a little behind on photos and uploading and dishes and vacuuming and reading and pretty much everything else in my life, but I’m having a good time.

Sunrise and Holding

April 10, 2012July 10, 2020Mary Jo2 Comments on Sunrise and Holding

Aron was first up this morning, after me.

His stillness, my sleepiness and the knowledge so evident in his older brothers, that it won’t be…
