Events, vacations, birthdays, testimonies, celebrations; anything you can think of that a family has done together.
On Independence Day, our family happened to read Psalm 124 in our morning devotions. We could hardly believe how perfectly it fit the occasion! As you read the chapter, relate it to these historical facts: 1. God protected the armies under George Washington by sending a heavy fog to allow them to escape from Long […]
I have celebrated the 4th of July in many different places. Over the years, I remember celebrating with friends in Manassas, Winchester and Fairfax VA, with family in Salem and Morgantown WV, and away from home in Indianapolis IN.

One morning we decorated the house for my birthday. Michael designed a great cake for me with the picture of a lion head on it. One of the best things about my birthday was that I got my new 4/4 violin. We ordered four violins to try out. Esther and I learned a lot about listening […]

I came away with encouraged to be a purged, clean vessel that is sanctified and ready for the Master’s use. 2 Tim. 2:21 […]
