“White reflects all colors and keeps itself plain,
white and pure.
White is a beautiful color, isn’t it?”
c. e. hollis
I find that I tell the lovely, the beautiful, and the good in my life and avoid writing about some of things that aren’t so happy and sweet. I want to be authentic in all I do.
I know God is faithful. He has always been faithful. I’ve experienced His lovingkindness and loyalty many times. I have trouble reconciling these two things in the light of my purpose of writing.
I want readers to see the farm and my home and marriage in good light, to see how we love God and He loves and cares for us.
I want my writing to encourage the building of not just a house but a home where God is the kind Father and love and hospitality are found.
I want to encourage moms to follow their calling to serve the Lord Jesus at home and know they are not a lower level person but one who has influenece in the life of her husband, children, relatives and community.
The Rose
A rose uncurled––unfurled
Then without a word showed to me
Her inner self.
Why can’t I be so brave,
To greet the world
To show first my face
And not hide my heart?
What’s Good About Home!
