A January Withdrawing

Blue Cotton Memory

I feel God’s drawing me into a thinking and sorting time, a culling away of distractions to a new way of doing things. I can’t take a good photo of a cup of coffee – and I feel no peace to do so. The pages lay blank, but I hear God calling, “Remember me”! The cardinals, the snow, even Sadie … Continue reading →

“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

I … Continue reading →

When There’s Nothing in The Fridge. . .

Blue Cotton Memory

I remember back in the day . . . . . . when there really was nothing in the fridge. I was just young enough that I didn’t know then how to make something out of nothing.

The Listening Trees & Link Up

Blue Cotton Memory

(This is a playful post. I am thankful for the blessings of the week – the blessing of my husband, the blessing of all who walk through my porch door, a plate of scones shared, grandchildren making merry in a pile of leaves, little hands helping pull out tomato vines and learning to savor a chocolate mint leaf from the … Continue reading →

Change Coming Means it’s Time to Bake (And Link-Up)

Blue Cotton Memory

“Though your beginning was small, your future will flourish indeed.” ~ Job 8:7 “You only have two months to cook for me, Mom,” said the baby. He’s moving out to do a co-op for a year for his engineering degree – over an hour away. Only two months to cook – not the year and a half I’d thought. Being … Continue reading →

Expectations and a Reliable God

Blue Cotton Memory

It was time. Nothing had prompted me to pull my camera out with its big lense until the last day of our trip to Historic Williamsburg. . . and we walked. We walked through the gunmaker’s store where we learned there was a 12 year wait for a reproduction rifle like one George Washington used. We walked through the coffee … Continue reading →
