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

An Easy Valentine Treat

Posted on By jennifer

A bit of a different Friday here.  No Five Minute Friday (I am actually out of town and not able to join the fun once the prompt is announced).  But I did want to share a quick look at something I put together this week.  I totally cannot take credit for this – but found the inspiration on YouTube.  Patty, at Life on Lemon Lane, has the sweetest content and is super creative and talented.  Me.  Not so much.  However, many of her projects of super easy and even for someone with minimal craft talents.

All of the materials were from the dollar store and the whole project took about thirty minutes to put together.  We are having a Ladies Night Out next week at church and I put these together for the prizes after the game.  They would also be great for those you work alongside in the ministry, neighbors, friends or simply random gifts of niceness!  The complete instructions and video can be found on Patty’s blog.  She will inspire you 🙂

Inside my mugs, I put a hot cocoa packet, some Milano cookies and a few chocolates.

And….all ready to go! 
Have a “sweet” weekend!
