Our oldest son Erich (in the yellow) with some of his college buddies….looking for sleds!
When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
Oh, to go back to Bible times and see a teen dressed in scarlet playing in the snow!
Today I guess that verse would say,
“When it snows, she doesn’t get worried about her kids staying warm because all of them have rummaged through the Rubbermaid container and found gloves, snowpants, and hats….and they’ve been to the shed to find hand-me-down snow boots!”
The snow that we were so excited about has definitely arrived!!
Kids are wandering the streets looking for the next hill to slide down!
Thankful for Rubbermaid containers loaded with winter wear….
And a washer and a dryer that NEVER stop running…..
And electricity to run the washer and dryer,
And a Power Source greater than electricity to keep me smiling on a day I know Nick would have enjoyed so much,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
