The Lord Hears

by Alison on October 29, 2009

This morning’s reading in my Experiencing God Day-by-Day, The Devotional and Journal, spoke to me in so many ways. “God has designed His kingdom so that Christians with kindred spirits jointogether.” Matthew 18:20 tells us, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” The [...]

Big J (10), Baby J (just turned 1!) and Little M (2) seem to have picked up a bit of a ‘common cold’ bug- very runny nose, watery eyes, a bit of a cough, thankfully no fevers, so no, I do not think this is the flu, seasonal or swine, excuse me, H1N1. I know [...]

I Have Ten Apples Up On Top

by Alison on October 15, 2009

Actually, I have many, many, many, more than that. I fear there may be more than we can get through- but we are trying! We were blessed with a short-notice outing to an orchard owned by a friend of a friend (you see, sometimes it’s all about who you know) last weekend. It was cold, [...]

Many Hands Make Light Work

by Alison on October 10, 2009

  I sent the children off to tidy their rooms late yesterday morning. The timer was set for 15 minutes, one of my favorite new habits from flylady, and they were working hard to see who could get the cleanest room- the winners were promised a Sprite. Our children don’t often get pop, so every [...]
