Laine's Letters

3 Years, it has been 3 years since I have updated this blog. Hoping to continue to journal our happenings. First I wanted to leave a link for Laine's Letters. Oh my these letters have been SOOOOO  encouraging to me like NOTHING else. She inspired me to spend my morning with the Lord, waiting on Him, listening to Him. She inspired me to love my husband and put him right after the Lord She inspired me to raise and love and train my children in many areas And lastly she even touched on keeping my home, to bring honor to the Lord. I want to come back (SOON) and print these off and put them in a binder for each of my daughters.   Hoping that one day these letters will inspired them as well. Laine's Letters archives

" Well the "foodie" in me-- found a few sights VERY interesting.... the entire center was very interesting.... but-- in 1880-1914 these were some signs we saw.... "It was terribly hard work, and we lived poorly, But we ate ...

Daybook for the week of June 12, 2016 Picture for the week........                                                The birthday boy -  He turned 12 on Saturday-- ( this picture is from Thanksgiving though, I haven't down loaded my phone pictures yet though.  ) Outside my window..... Things are green, and showers today have made my garden very happy I am thinking..... About starting in with some school for the kids next week. About dipping our feet in with some potty training. About the how very deep the spiritual side of adoption is, and how constant. I am thankful for..... ...
