Building Grateful Nests Rooted in Him

We are not spur-of-the-moment people. But this past week, we decided to be. We loaded up the Santa Fe and headed home to spend Memorial Day weekend in Alabama. SEC baseball, family, and more food than was humanly possible to consume. Good stuff. And I got to thinking about childhood. Both mine and my kids’. I
Hey, friends! How did last week’s Plumb Line beginning go? Did you get the work started? Did you picture Jesus rejoicing over your work beginning?

Happy Mother’s Day weekend, y’all! I have approximately 2, 481 draft Mother’s Day posts written but I can’t manage to finish a single one of them. Truth is, Mother’s Day is still hard for me. One day, God will redeem it. I trust that. But for now, when I can’t seem to find the words,
I know. Try not to get too excited. But it is Celiac’s Awareness Month. Which, mostly, for me, means ALDI fills up with gluten-free deliciousness and I stock up. Although the stock only lasts me four months or so. And then I have to wait for May to roll back around again. This year, ALDI
Couple of things. One, how adorable is that photo???? Snapseed. Y’all. I made that! I have been having just the absolute best time playing with the Snapseed app. I take a really awful picture with my trusty phone and with a few tweaks, Snapseed makes it into something just lovely.
