Fruitbearers

2018 was another year of mixture of grief and joy. We had another death in the family two years in a row. We enjoyed various outdoor activities: golf, basketball, tennis, badminton, and croquet. Both Eric and I turned half a century old :). Through it all, God has been good, faithful, and gracious! On January 10th, we had two big scares on the same day. Our daughter had a car accident in San Angelo, TX. Someone ran through a red light in the intersection and hit my daughter's car (see picture below). So grateful that God protected Alyssa and her friends (passengers). They only had minor aches and pains. Alyssa bought a cobalt blue 2018 Toyota Corolla SE Sedan to replace her totaled car. On the same day, my father-in-law (who was 81) had a stroke. We're so thankful that God healed him and restored his health. On February 10th, Josiah bought a white 1993 Lexus (his 3rd car) for $1,600. It is still working well :). On March 2nd, we moved out of our Newberg home (lived the...

Merry Christmas  ❤ ! May God bless you all with hope, peace, love, and joy! We have a truly blessed Christmas because we have Jesus.

Isn't this simply beautiful and meaningful? My husband and I chose one of our favorite Bible verses: Proverbs 3:5. We also put our wedding date as the start of our family. We love it! It goes so well with what we already had on our hallway's wall. I was impressed with how easy it was to order and the art print was shipped the next day. The website is well organized. There are various designs to choose from. My husband and I like so many of them (it took us a while to narrow down and pick one). On the website, you can search by category (such as home & family, inspiring words, sports & hobby, etc.), occasions (such as Christmas, anniversary, graduation, etc.), styles (such as rustic, retro, coastal, etc.), or collections (such as fruitful kitchen, one true King, southern women, etc.). Christmas is almost ...
