Why Joseph Matters In The Christmas Story
Merry Christmas everyone! It's Christmas Eve here at the Eason Clan and the hustle and bustle is real: gifts being wrapped, last minute Christmas lights being set up, and practicing for our church Christmas Eve service. It's funny - Christmas Eve has always been my favourite time of the year. I think it's because I … Continue reading Why Joseph Matters In The Christmas Story
Saturday Morning Antics
My eyes open to a dark room, with a small stream of light passing between two curtains. It’s 8 a.m. - I can’t believe I actually slept in that long. Now mind you, I did wake up at 5 a.m. battling a clenched jaw, but thankfully I went back to sleep. It’s Saturday morning, and … Continue reading Saturday Morning Antics
The Saint

The desire to get pregnant is overwhelming, as each trip and experience was … Continue reading The Story of Hannah
The Funny Side of Punctuality
Good morning and Happy Saturday! I just finished reading my Bible, and what a refreshing time it was - starting your day off in the Word. Before I read, I like to take in a few deep breaths - thank the Lord for His goodness and blessings, and then start reading. This morning I read … Continue reading The Funny Side of Punctuality
The Importance of Being Thankful
Good morning to you - and happy Saturday! I am sat on my front patio, drinking a nice cup of coffee, overlooking some beautiful, lush maple trees.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you are well, and that your spirits are bright. I witnessed two spectacles in the past two days: one was beautiful, and the other completely bizarre, and hopefully will never happen in my lifetime again.

The Meaning of Christmas
I stand at a red Kettle, smiling and grinning,As folks pass me by, with their carts overflowing.Some will look up, and be greeted with a smile;Out of those few, they will give of their supply. Many won’t look at me, as to look means acknowledgement.To acknowledge that their fellow man is in need, and that … Continue reading The Meaning of Christmas
