November gets a bad rap in the north, weather wise. It’s often dark and dreary, cold and foggy and rainy, but I have a few photos of November skies that remind us it’s not ALL doom and gloom, every time! Also, we had no snow in November… and not much in December, but boy howdy, […]

Welcome to 2024, Inspy Romance readers! It’s been a couple of years since I shared photos of my family’s (usually) annual Christmas-tree-getting excursion that also always includes a hot dog roast! Here is this year’s bonfire on a not-so-cold and not-so-snowy December day! We’ve been shy of serious wintry weather so far this season, but […]

Is it too soon to say Happy New Year? We have plans with our small group from church tonight, though I’m not positive we’ll end up awake when the clock chimes midnight. The older I get, the less important that seems. I hope whatever your plans for this evening are, that you are facing the […]

Today is the fourth Sunday of Advent – even though it’s also Christmas Eve! Our Advent theme this week is Love. And that is so very fitting on this day that is also the eve of Jesus’s birth. For God so loved the world that He sent His only Son that whoever believes in Him […]

This week of Advent, we are focused on Joy! I have always loved Joy to the World – but have you heard Chris Tomlin’s version? I love (mostly) how he takes hymns and modernizes them a bit, adding some upbeat choruses and so forth while still keeping the beautiful depth of the original hymn intact. […]

We’re inching closer to Christmas. Are your halls decked? Stocking hung by the chimney with care? The Advent theme this week (the second week of advent) is Peace. I have always loved the name of Jesus “Prince of Peace” – I don’t know if it’s the alliteration or if there’s more, but what a wonderful […]

Happy December! I don’t know what it is this year, but I’m really looking forward to Christmas and soaking in all the anticipatory decorations and atmosphere more than usual. Often, when the boys start jumping around as soon as the Thanksgiving dishes are washed asking about decorating, I drag my feet a bit. Not so […]

We’ve been chatting about thankfulness this month, and today’s focus is the biggest reason of all. I’m so thankful that God sent His only Son into this world to redeem all who believe in Him. Can I get an amen? Thank You, thank You, Jesus, for all You’ve done for me. And someday (maybe soon!) […]

We’ve been talking about thankfulness this month — I know, such a unique topic for November! But it’s important to have an attitude of gratitude. Not just generically, but purposefully. This week I’m especially thankful for freedom and peace in this part of the world. There’s so much tragedy and heartbreak in so many places, […]

What are you thankful for this week? I’m filled with awe, wonder, and gratitude at the beautiful planet God created for us to enjoy. Here’s just a bit more of Alberta from our vacation with the grandgirls this summer. The photo above was taken at Lundbreck Falls. The girls and I climbed down the trails […]
