Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

For Tyler

Posted on By jennifer

This is the first August 1st that I have not been at home.  Have not gone to the cemetery.  Have not been there for my boy.  Or so it feels.  But feelings can be tricky.  But it certainly is not the first, or the last, August 1st that I have spent with Tyler on my heart.  In my thoughts and all my memories.  I know Heaven is  an amazing place but I hope you know, sweet Tyler, how much you are missed and how dearly you are loved!!

  1. Sometimes all we have are the memories. Loving on you and thank you for sharing.

  2. ….and my friend…that is a lovely tribute and don’t be so hard on yourself. Don’t ever think for one minute, that Tyler doesn’t know you are thinking of him. Because I am a firm believer that he knows you love him etc. I so understand the grief and what you are feeling…wish I could hug you.

  5. My heart goes out to you. I’m so thankful for my memories – of my husband, of my mom and so many others. It’s those memories that God gives us to treasure and bring comfort.

  6. Jennifer, I wish I could give you a big hug right now. Know that this touched my heart and I know that memories are a gift that no one can take away from us. They become such a treasure when we have to say goodbye. I hope you’ve had a good week 🙂 Blessings to you, my friend.

  8. My heart goes out to you. You don’t need to be in the cemetery to hold his memory close. He is in your heart every day, wherever you are. Sending a virtual hug to you through the blogosphere x
