As the name of my blog indicates, I spend a lot of time thinking about home. Of course, my Heavenly Home is the one that is eternal, so that’s where I need to lay up my treasures, and that’s the one I’m striving for. But in the meantime, I have been given this tiny piece of the here-and-now—this home on the edge of town, this family, this neighborhood—in which to serve Him. And, though this is in the earthly realm, I want the things that happen here to be investments in the Heavenly realm.

Resurrection Sunday | 2019

♫ Wonderful, Merciful Savior ♫


Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend





Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men?






Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace






You offer hope when our hearts have 
Hopelessly lost our way




You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore






You give the healing and grace 
Our hearts always hunger for




Singing Easter hymns



Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own


Macie (3) singing "Alive, Alive"

Lucy (our granddog) hanging with Gampy



Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne


Judah's first Easter

Judah and Gammy in gingham



You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore






You give the healing and grace 
Our hearts always hunger for








Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
John 11:25-26

    Love that song! Wonderful family photos. In the first, Teddy Bear taking his place is just adorable. You know I do have a thing for Teddy Bears. Everyone looks so beautiful and handsome all dressed for Easter.

      I love that song too! So much meaning in the lyrics . . .

      Paul's bear is Deets. Not sure of the origin of the name, but Paul and he are inseparable!

    One of my favorite songs ever and just perfect to accompany these beautiful family photos on Resurrection Sunday! And the lilacs...oh I love them and miss them! They don't grow well here in NC for some reason but we always had them at home in Ohio. Hugs!

    Love the song and wish we had sung it at church this year. And like Debby, we had lilacs growing up up north and miss them here. Crepe Myrtles are the closest we come to them. Beautiful photos of your wonderful family celebrating the resurrection!
