The Splendor of It All

The Splendor of It All

by Jennifer Frisbie | Apr 27, 2016 | Coffee For Your Heart, Friendship, Hospitality, Rest, Tell His Story, Testimony Tuesday

Growing up, my mother was a wonderful example to me as a hostess. She took her time in the kitchen over every meal to make her family and guests feel loved. She went above and beyond to meet the needs of those who pulled up a chair at our table. And no one ever left...
In the Absence of Truth…

In the Absence of Truth…

by Jennifer Frisbie | Mar 2, 2016 | Abide, Coffee For Your Heart, Encouragement, Tell His Story, Testimony Tuesday, Three Word Wednesday

Last night was a late night for me. I’ve never been one to have issues falling asleep, but I could tell from the evenings events I was pretty alert and processing a lot of thoughts so I opted to stay up and watch a favorite show on Netflix. Sadly, I can always...

Down Deep in Him

I woke yesterday morning to a good dusting of snow on the ground. Far less than the accumulation my children were hoping for. Still…whatever the sky threw down during the night was enough to delay school for my two middles who attend public school. The oldest...

I’ve welcomed an involuntary break from blogging lately. While I can hardly say that I’ve felt drawn to becoming a brand or hitting the magic number of posts each week to satisfy a reader base, I do feel a sort of urgency when I “fall behind.”...

The Journey Must Continue…

by Jennifer Frisbie | Jun 9, 2015 | Coffee For Your Heart, Courage, Faith, Grace, Tell His Story, Testimony Tuesday, Three Word Wednesday

If you’ve read my Facebook regularly you might have seen a bit of a trend. The last two months have primarily talked a lot about my adventures in becoming a stay-at-home mom. In that comes the comical side of watching my children’s antics during many more...

Draft after draft I’ve begun to type. They pile up like a stack of junk mail near the phone. You know what I mean… The unimportant mail. The stuff we could live without. Nothing valuable like a check from a customer paying their bill. Not a letter of...

Such a big thank you to @spillmycup for driving the distance to take these pictures for Lillian’s senior year. She’s pursuing a degree in Library and Information Science so the library pic is a favorite! These are just beautiful! ❤️ #lilliannicole #senioryear

“There may be days when you grow weary of climbi
“There may be days when you grow weary of climbing and you long for flatter terrain, but the slopes are overlaid with tremendous purpose. God uses them to tilt us toward the light, to drain the sludge from our hearts with spring rains, and offer us a view of the landscape that will one day turn into vision.” -Beth Moore Parenting can sometimes feel like a means to an end. A great pressure to get every day “right” in the eyes of some human who is keeping score. It could be us. It could be our friends. It could even be our kids. But no matter who’s watching, the eyes of heaven are the only ones that matter. And it’s those eyes that can take the less than perfect days - the ones that feel so uphill - and turn them into a vast landscape of purpose. We trust, through written promise, that the hard days serve us in ways the easy ones never could. Horace Mann once wrote that each hour was set with sixty diamond minutes. Hours lost with no reward. It’s shocking just how few of these hours we truly have with our arrows before we’re required to release them, yet I can’t agree with the lack of reward. There are moments lost for sure. Minutes wasted over argument or indecision, loss of opportunity or a lack of time well spent. But all are woven into precious delight and unapologetic gladness. A culmination of nearly two decades of dedication to the ones we love as we prepare them for the road ahead. How bittersweet as we experience the last days of adolescence before the dawn of adulthood. A vision we have waited so long, yet truly so very little, to see… #raisingarrows #lilliannicole #senioryear
