The Value of One

Over the last few weeks, my dad has been going through Psalms 37 with us. I thought I knew the verses, especially verses 4-5, like the back of my hand. It’s the ones every girl pulls out when she’s discouraged or longing for whatever dreams she has. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he [...]

I would not chill the warmth and animation of happy girlhood. If I could see the clouds and storms of life just ahead, the cares that would bend your back and break your heart, would they be any less painful of difficult if you knew? Laugh and play now, for this is your day. Dream [...]

Today I was keeping myself busy shucking corn, going quickly so I could get on to the next task–you know how that goes–when Emma came up and asked if she could help. I paused, with a “oh, no thank you, sweetie” on my lips. After all, I could get it done in a tenth of [...]
