Weeds in our Lives

I was out picking weeds. But then in the quiet, I got to thinking. And as ideas came, I snapped photos of the weeds in my yard (who does that?!), and came in and sat down to write. The weeding will have to be finished later. Instead I’ll share my thoughts with you … IMG_20170814_100010405 Continue reading “Weeds in our Lives” →

I have a fun extra to share with you as summer comes to an end (or fall begins, and I imagine a warm campfire on a cool evening). I must say that Rice Crispy Treats relate to “living a life of love,” since sharing food is a wonderful way to express love, care and celebration!

Ideas for connecting with Jesus throughout your day

On September 18, 2017September 18, 2017 By Kathryn FeatherstoneIn Connect Throughout the Day, Reading Scripture, THE SOURCE OF LOVE2 Comments

Last week, in Pause the Static and the Noise, I shared a funny parenting story, with the encouragement that we need to be still and quiet with God so we can hear His voice.

And when we experience change, it often upsets the rhythms and habits that we have grown accustomed to!

Imagine this little experience with me a moment…

I went to the top of the stairs yesterday and called out, “Ellie, do you remember what you needed to do this morning?”

“What?” came the reply.

I repeated the instructions. Pause. There was this staticky radio noise coming from her room, which I recognized as coming from her Our Generation mini doll car. IMG_20170820_093223696 Continue reading “Pause the Static and Noise” →

Jesus Meets Us In Reality

On August 29, 2017April 3, 2021 By Kathryn FeatherstoneIn BEING, Reality, Suffering & Hard Times2 Comments

It’s one of the moments I remember so clearly. I was driving in the car with a dear friend a few months after my father passed away. I had helped my mom sort through his office, deleted his cell number, wept when a military convoy drove by (he was career military), and had been processing “goodbyes” in countless other ways.
