Our Sweet Anaya

by // // Comments off

It is with a heavy heart that I type this post.

This is Anaya, Kayla’s 18th birthday gift, the sweetest pup ever, and so loved by us all.

This is my favorite photo of her, looking up at Kayla, from our days back on the farm.

We had to say goodbye to Anaya hours after our granddaughter Aspen was born.

There were SO many tears – sorrow amidst all of the joy.

We already miss Anaya so much.

It is hard to drive up to David and Kayla’s farm and not have her running down the driveway to greet us as we arrive.

I know that time helps heal….and we are counting on that.

We miss you Nay Nay.

The Lord’s Handiwork

We had the most beautiful frost last week which lasted for days and days.

Those days of frost were also very overcast and cloudy.

It was AMAZING, but I was praying that the sun would shine while that frost was still hanging on everything!

Very early last Tuesday morning before Blake left for work he said to me, “You better get your good camera ready – it’s going to be a good one out there!”

I snapped my long lens on my Canon Rebel, headed outside, and JUST LOOK WHAT GOD DID!!

It was FREEZING, so I would wait about 10 minutes and go back out again and again as the sun got higher and higher in the sky.

BREATH TAKING, isn’t it?

There is nothing that fills my soul fuller with the nearness of God than His beautiful creation.

His hands made THIS!

He did it for HIS GLORY!!

Let the glory be His!!

I enjoy photography so much, especially when I am taking photos of creation.

A day like that one will not be soon forgotten!

Chad comments often how glad he is that we live in the north.

I agree!

The winter season is extreme, yes, but we would all miss it very much!

Make sure you stop and enjoy what the Lord has provided with His handiwork!

Don’t forget to praise Him for it too!

The heavens declare the glory of God!

She’s HERE!!!

The Importance of God’s Word

Happy New Year, friends!!

As we start a new year tomorrow, I would like to encourage you all about the importance of being daily in God’s Word!

This past year I committed to reading through the whole Bible, following the plan of The Bible Recap.

I just finished the last day of the reading plan this morning and accomplished my goal!

Praise the Lord!!


The Bible Recap has a daily podcast that goes with the daily reading and it was FANTASTIC.

If you are not a podcast kind of person, they also have a beautiful book to go along with each day’s reading.

You can check out all the particulars of this reading plan at their website – thebiblerecap.com

Whether you choose to read through the whole Bible this next year, or choose a different daily devotional….my encouragement to you is to spend time daily reading, studying, and memorizing the Word of God.

It is an investment that will not return void!

The time I have spent this past year reading through the entire Bible has been life changing!

There is no better time than now to make a commitment like this.

In 2021 I will be studying the New Testament in depth, using the Bible Recap’s resources again, but at my own pace.

I’m excited to get started!

Anyone making a commitment with me??

I hope you all enjoy ringing in the New Year!!

Happy New Year, everyone!!

May 2021 be a year of growth in your relationship with God!
