Dearest One, You Have To Learn To Fight
It was almost painful to watch, the first time you had to say you were sorry for your behavior. You stuttered and forced the words from trembling lips. We watched the battle play across your face.

What An Amishman Taught Me About Grace
I was caught in an awful place that year. So many difficult things circling, attacking me day and night. The last thing I had energy for was to try and meet someone else’s standards. But she came up to me, all sugar-sweet and smiles, and gently explained that I did not meet the standard of…

So cute:) totally love the little bare feet in the mud!
Oh yay! The kids and I just came in from surveying our recently planted marigold flowerbeds. Spring is so, SO welcome after this long, long winter.
P.S. The carrot house is cute, but not as cute as the mud smeared all over those kiddos’ hands and knees. 😀
