Joh 3:16-21 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned […] Read More
So…it was time I changed my blog. You may wonder why I’ve chosen this particular theme. I’ll take you back a year or two. Our house church group had been studying John 3. The verse I have listed in the tagline (and the verses surrounding it) really impacted me. It has completely changed the way I view this life. John 3:19 “…God’s light came into the world, but people loved […] Read More
It’s quiet in the house this afternoon. My youngest is sleeping, the boys are quiet in their rooms (my 10 year old is probably taking a nap), my husband is downstairs in the prayer room. I’ve been puttering, doing little tasks that I keep putting off but that should get done. In an hour, our friends will start arriving for house church. I’ve been trying to think about what I […] Read More
I read a couple of very interesting articles in the Globe & Mail this week. 1. Stress: Public-Health Enemy Number 1? Here’s just 2 excerpts – it’s worth reading the whole article. “Across the country, people are experiencing increasing levels of stress. A poll commissioned by The Globe found that Canadians endure, on average, 14 stressful episodes a week. That might not come as a surprise to the researchers behind […] Read More
I admit that I don’t often verbalize thankfulness. As today is Thanksgiving, I thought it would be a good time to start a “thankful list”: a loving husband a family that knows it loves each other my middle son – he’s a lot of fun to be with, he’s healthy and strong and loves his family my oldest son – despite all his challenges and difficulties, he’s a good kid […] Read More
That’s what I think of when I return to my blog. It’s been quite neglected in the past year. It’s not necessarily that I don’t have things to write about. I do. Actually, lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how God designed things so we could know Him and how important this theme is, but that will have to wait for another day. There’s nothing really new or interesting […] Read More
This could be a worship song… “Kind & Generous” You’ve been so kind and generous I don’t know how you keep on giving For your kindness I’m in debt to you For your selflessness, my admiration And for everything you’ve done You know I’m bound… I’m bound to thank you for it You’ve been so kind and generous I don’t know how you keep on giving For your kindness I’m […] Read More
Through a series of unfortunate events, I find myself without access to the internet for the weekend (of course this won’t be posted until I have the internet back, but ‘oh well’). It feels so strange. I feel somewhat lost. I can’t check my emails, surf Facebook, check the weather, read my RSS feeds. I was watching a cartoon movie with the kids and one of the character’s voices sounded […] Read More
God gave me a glimpse of what His love is like today. I’m in the midst of toilet training my daughter. She has some constipation issues and as a result does not like to do #2. I had her sitting on the toilet as I was sure she was going to have to go. She did not want to be there. She was yelling and screaming, but I stayed firm […] Read More
I must admit that in the past I haven’t put a lot of thought into Remembrance Day. It was a day off, a day to relax, not much else. I didn’t put a lot of thought into what this particular day symbolized. War like Canadians experienced in the two world wars is so completely foreign to me that I don’t feel a strong connection to this day. This year has […] Read More
