Is it a surprise picture left on a camera? A couple exchanging vows to cherish one another? Is it a mother holding a newborn, breathing in a bit of heaven? Or a father with a baby bundled up in his coat? Is it manifest in the hard labor to provide? Or the sweet scene of […]
Living Your Love Story
“Mom, so-and-so was wondering about the first time you and dad kissed?” This question was asked amongst comments of “No, I didn’t!” and “It was your idea!” We all laughed {and there might have been a few ‘eeewwww’s} as I recounted that fateful day so long ago. It dawned on me we’d never told that […]

Wordfull Wednesday: Our Love Story

Wordfull Wednesday: Love Songs
I think we must lead a rather boring life, especially compared to some. We aren’t sports fans. We don’t go to rodeos or concerts. We don’t like to dance (well, Mr. FR doesn’t). I guess we aren’t high on the social life. That and having to drive 45 minutes just to get somewhere puts a […]

A Class Divided
The girls and I just finished watching this great documentary called “A Class Divided.” It’s about a lesson on discrimination that Jane Elliot, a third grade teacher from Riceville, Iowa, taught her students and the impact it had on their lives. It is fascinating to watch and was a great impromptu lesson today with my […]

Wordfull Wednesday: Love for Self
Motherhood is a demanding calling. Not only are we the nose and bottom wipers, we are also the cooks, the taxi drivers, the educators, the listening ear, the encourager, the maid, and countless other “labels.” With all the demands put on us caring for our family’s and other’s needs it is all too easy to […]
