How's your Lent going? Personally, I am really clinging to the February issue of Magnificat magazine--an emotional "clinging" rather than physical, mind you, as I am forever misplacing my copy! It's a Messy Maggie thing. The cover, especially, touches my heart. Jesus, alone and lonely in the desert, bows His head in the presence … [Read more...]
Advice, please?
I have a hundred things I want to say which means, in the end, I don't say anything. I've asked before and will probably ask again. What would you most like to hear about? … [Read more...]
I’ve got that joy joy joy joy down in my…where, exactly?
Here's something so funny you'll forget to laugh: I failed to take my own advice on Valentine's Day and ended up having a truly rotten day. (Read: NO quality time between husband & wife. Tears. Self pity. Lots of comparing my life to the people on Facebook.) Note to self? Stop writing notes if you're going to ignore them! Well, in any … [Read more...]
Who’s YOUR superhero?
:: A Valentine's Day Meditation (& Netflix Review) :: See those two little men in the photo above? I can tell you who their superhero is, no joking. It's me, Minnesota Mom. I'm the woman that rocks their world. Yes, seriously. (But don't tell them I told you.) * * * That said, I have to be very … [Read more...]
Friday Night Wine & Cheese
...except I'm skipping the cheese and just having the wine. ; ) This post is dedicated to Joseph, one of my very favorite readers, because he was so very sweet and polite in his latest comment: "Be patient doing post II. I sense that taking care of your family is vital and you can delay having post II." By "Post II" he's referring to my … [Read more...]
The VERY Hard Work of Lasting Change
Part I I met my friend Jen for coffee last night, and she looked a little concerned as we slid into our chairs. "How are you?" she asked. "I read your blog..." "Oh dear," I thought, with a small inward grin, "It really is time to write an update so that 'Depression?!' isn't at the top." The truth is, I am here and you are there and I wish we … [Read more...]
You’ve got depression?!
"Hope is like a golden cord connecting you to heaven. The more you cling to this cord, the more I bear the weight of your burdens; thus you are lightened. Heaviness is not of My kingdom. Cling to hope, and My rays of Light will reach you through the darkness." (From Jesus Calling by Sarah Young) See that woman in those photos above? Yes, … [Read more...]
The best resolution? No more resolutions!
Instead, my friend, I'm building habits. There's so much that I could talk about--so much I'd love to talk to about!--but I need to keep today's post rather brief. We're leaving tomorrow to celebrate Christmas with John's family, because (speaking of working on strong new habits) who says that you have to celebrate on December 25th? Not … [Read more...]
Merry Christmas!
May the peace, joy, and LOVE of this season be in your hearts and in your homes. ♥ Everything is extra except for Him. Look for Him and you'll find Him. I love you! Margaret in Minnesota … [Read more...]
Giving the {Last Minute} Gift of…
C'mon, you had to know I would suggest it. For one thing, I'm on the Netflix #StreamTeam and am getting "reimbursed" for this endorsement. At this point, Netflix is the only sponsor of this blog, (which isn't bad, right?) and in exchange for my monthly reviews, my family was given a free year of Netflix streaming, (which we use ALL the … [Read more...]
