The other day I was looking at a picture of my three oldest children, a wonderful picture of them together that just melts my heart. (The picture was taken about 17 years ago. The oldest of the three was about 4 ½ in the picture.)
My family is precious to me; they are my treasures.
Not because I [Continue reading: Buried Treasures]
Do you remember the magic mirror in the fairy tale Snow White? The evil and vain queen/stepmother would ask her magic mirror “who is the fairest of them all?” She became violent and murderous when the mirror focused on anyone but her.

Have your prayers ever been answered? Did you ever make a wish, and see it come true?
I’ve seen prayers answered, not when I pushed and pushed and tried to force my wishes into existence, but when I was completely committed to those wishes, and often, when I delivered those wishes with tears.

- A quiet conversation with an old friend
- Holding a child’s warm, soft hand as you smile at each other
It may not be popular to praise simple things, [Continue reading: Ice Cream and Deep Desires]
