Valleys Lead to Higher Ground
At my sister’s funeral several years ago, the minister at the graveside talked about walking through the valley of the shadow of death. He said we would all be walking that valley as we grieved the loss of her life. But he reminded us that the God of all hope would be with us and…

The March Collection: In Like a Lamb
March came in so mild and sweet here, that it had us fooled into thinking that spring was here to stay. We have had 70* weather already which is ridiculous in South Dakota in March. It’s bound to change and only for the worse. Well, it did. We have just come though a couple days…

In Spring, Look Up
Spring begins over our heads before we see it under our feet. At least here in northern Montana, one of the first signs of spring is the changing sky. The blue takes on a brighter, clearer tone. The clouds break up and pile into cumulous castles. The grass is still very brown. I haven’t seen…

April
You have brought the springtime to my heart, The icy drifts of snow could only melt Before the golden sunshine of your love. You brought the clearest blue of sky above And everywhere you planted flowers for my soul It’s all because of you my life is whole.

Dressed for Spring
Spring swirls past.Where’s she going?Can’t help but say,”My! You look sweet,In your flowery dress!Are you gonna meetSomeone Special?And doors open –a path clears–To the one who’s mostLike feminine grace.This sweet enchantress–Beautiful and shy,Give her a seed, a gentle rain,A day of sun and dirt, she’s the Creative multiplier Of earth’s possibilities.

All the time you’ll ever need, Stronger, taller is your creed. Springtime sunshine, breezes blow Birds and squirrels you will…
