When the last leaf blows…

When the last leaf blows…

by Jennifer Frisbie | Jan 1, 2015 | A New Thing, Coffee For Your Heart, Faith, Tell His Story, Three Word Wednesday

So often I come to the end of another year and I have much to say. So many promises I made to myself that I couldn’t keep. So many goals for starting anew. I’m not a resolution setter, don’t misunderstand me. But I’m a clean slate kinda girl....
Off the beaten path…

Off the beaten path…

It wasn’t until I took the back roads to work one day during a traffic jam that I considered the expression, “off the beaten path.”  I was traveling on roads that twisted and turned around farms that had been in someone’s family for many...

Today begins my favorite month of the year. October! For me, this day marks the entrance into fall.  It’s the slow opening of a majestic, wooden door into the most beautiful outdoor season of the year. And there I stand looking out as I drink in the...

I’ve always been a do-over kinda girl. Or “gayle” as my second born used to say with her cute inability to pronounce it correctly. You know the one I’m talking about, right? Back when I was a kid I would run races with my friends. If I didn’t quite nail my first...

In lieu of resolutions…

I’m honestly not one for New Year’s Resolutions. However, I do have to admit that January 1st seems to bring with it a freshness that doesn’t seem to occur during any other time of year. Perhaps it just puts time into perspective within our lives. We...

This is Lily’s final LPA Snow Ball. Seven years
This is Lily’s final LPA Snow Ball. Seven years in the making to get to this day and it’s been fun watching them look forward to it every year. Henley and her friends didn’t plan the same color dress but it just kind of happened. (Not pictured, one other friend in the same color dress). Wyatt’s Snow Ball was last night for the middle school classes and he had so much fun he threatened to crash the high schooler’s night tonight. 😉

It’s hard to know where to begin with this boy.
It’s hard to know where to begin with this boy. Wyatt, you are our only son and probably surprise us more than any of the others. While your comedic flair and love for the outdoors was so evident early on, your fierce love for family and investing in everyone as an individual has emerged to be some of my favorite qualities about you. It’s hard to choose pictures to represent you because there are just so many that make up who you are. Today you turn 12 and we just couldn’t be more proud of the young man you are becoming. Keep chasing your dreams and leaning on Him and I know an amazing future awaits. Happy Birthday, Bubby! We love you so very much! #wyattbuchanan #raisingarrows

“The root idea of Sabbath is simple as rain fall
“The root idea of Sabbath is simple as rain falling, basic as breathing. It’s that all living thing - and many nonliving things too - thrive only by an ample measure of stillness. A bird flying, never nesting, is soon plummeting. Grass trampled, day after day, scalps down to the hard bone of earth. Fruit constantly inspected bruises, blights. This is true of other things as well: a saw used without relenting - its teeth never filed, its blade never cooled - grows dull and brittle; a motor never shut off gums with residue or fatigues from thinness of oil - it sputters, it stalls, it seizes. Even companionship languishes without seasons of apartness.” -Mark Buchanan This is a message I will likely need to hear over and over throughout the rest of my life. Like a stubborn Israelite who forgets the miracle even before the thought grows cold, so does the idea of rest escape me if it’s not always within view. My response: keep the truths you forget close to your heart. Close to your eyes. There is something to be said for binding to one’s heart and writing them on the doorframes of your home. The human mind drifts, distracts, forgets what it learns… Grateful for a day where everything that’s pressing is set aside. Grateful for the warm house, a humming teakettle, and beautiful window scenery. Most of all, I’m grateful I’m not out in it.😉 #sabbathsociety #rhythmsofrest
