Be Still
No, It’s not “dreary fog” Nor “icy paths” But It’s “covering” and “meticulous creativity” It’s “I See You!” and “Be Still!“ “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” Luke 2:14 ~ (Pictures, Heidi Viars, Christmas morning, 2019)

The Perfect Man
Last week my niece made a gift for her single friend. Because the single friend has been wanting a good man, my niece got busy and made her a perfect guy – from cookie dough. At least that’s what he was before he got baked. Every Christmas we are told that we can crank out…

World Changer
“Don’t bother!” Says the small voice in my head. “It’s just a drop in the ocean!” “The suffering in this world’s too great!” “Don’t waste your time and emotions!” What if the pain of the many don’t add?

Go Home

UNKNOWN (Five Minute Friday)
My husband and I sat in the large meeting room. There was a incredible tension in the room, an anticipation, a fear of the unknown. In a few minutes we were to meet three kids that would change our lives forever. Home studies were finished, interviews done, many hours of talking and contemplating had passed.…

Dying toward Life
The maple seed it twirls around On wings of snowy gusts Up over roofs it spins about Goes where the wind it thrusts. Its journey-end I cannot see Nor grasp where it will lie. It knows that new life comes to be Through willing seeds that die. “Oh, Lord, that I would always know That…
